Produsent
For as long as he’s been a surfer, Mauricio Gil has been intrigued by the art of shaping. Beginning surfing at 12, Mauricio shaped his first board at 14 and hasn’t stopped since.
Upon graduating from Rio de Janeiro’s University of Business, Mauricio moved to California to further learn and master the art of hand shaping, under the tutelage of master shaper and industry legend, Hawaiian Donald Takayama.
After earning the trust and respect of Takayama, Mauricio was given his mentor’s blessing to shape and manufacture Hawaiian Pro Designs on the USA’s East Coast.
In the early 90s Mauricio joined forces with Australian shaper, Greg Clough, and launched Aloha Surfboards in North and South America, where he’d remain the sole shaper and licensee for over a decade.
In 2005, Mauricio and his family relocated to Sydney, where they launched MG surfboards. He’s shaped, lived, and surfed on and around the Northern Beaches, and Australia, ever since.
During his career Mauricio has shaped for the world’s best surfers, including Mick Fanning, Andy Irons, Johnny Boy Gomes, Buttons, Larry Bertlemann, T.J. Barron, Makua Rothman, Dustin Barca, Kyle Ramey, Mason Ho, Clay Marzo, Samantha Cornish, 7 time World Champion Layne Beachley, the new school Brazilian surfers from the likes of Heitor Alves to Felipe Toledo amongst the Ozzie’s like Cooper Chapman and many others.
Mauricio Gil is one of those rare shapers who is as gifted in the craft of surfboard making as he is obsessed with design. Mauricio seamlessly translates the surfboards that he makes for the world’s best surfers into designs that work for the rest of us. He’s a passionate surfer, and this passion, combined with an obsession for creating state-of-the-art surfboards means that Mauricio Gil, of MG surfboards, shapes some of the best boards in the industry.

Kort review
MG MGX 5.0 – Maksimal Presisjon for Kraftige Norske Bølger
MG MGX 5.0 er et performance-shortboard designet for surfere som ønsker et presist, raskt og responsivt brett i kraftigere forhold. Dette er modellen som virkelig lar deg presse grensene dine – enten du surfer vinterbølger på Jæren, leter etter punchy beach breaks eller vil ha et brett som leverer solid drive og kontroll i større surf. MGX-serien er kjent for sin tekniske følelse, og 5.0-versjonen er skreddersydd for surfere som vil kombinere høy ytelse med maks manøvrerbarhet og stabilitet.
MGX 5.0 har en strømlinjeformet outline med litt smalere rails som gir deg fantastisk bite i bølgen, samtidig som den raske rocker-linjen gir både hastighet og kontroll på kritiske takeoffs. Dette er et brett som trives når bølgen har litt trøkk – og belønner en aktiv surfestil. Den responssive tailen gir deg presise svinger, god hold i bratte seksjoner og trygghet når du går vertikalt i pocketen.
Selv om brettet er laget for kraftigere surf, og er ett step up brett, fungerer det også overraskende godt i mer moderate forhold. Bunndesignet skaper naturlig drive gjennom flate partier, og det harmoniske rail-to-rail-skiftet gir deg muligheten til å holde fart selv når energien i bølgen varierer – noe som er typisk for norsk surf. Dette gjør MGX 5.0 til et brett du faktisk kan bruke store deler av året, ikke bare de beste dagene.
MG Surfboards har gitt MGX 5.0 et optimalt fin-setup for moderne performance-surfing. Thruster gir deg ren kontroll, solid timing i manøvrering og best grep i bølgen – mens en quad-konfigurasjon kan gi deg et ekstra løft i fart og hold på raske partier. Begge alternativer gjør det lett å finjustere brettet etter din surfestil og dagens forhold.
Kort oppsummert: MG MGX 5.0 er brettet for deg som vil ha maksimal presisjon i kraftige norske bølger, uten å ofre fart, balanse og allsidighet. Dette er et teknisk performance-shortboard som hjelper deg å flytte grensene dine – og som gir deg selvtilliten du trenger for å surfe bedre, hardere og mer effektivt i ekte nordiske forhold.
