Where?

I created my product in Rincon, PR but its now being exclusivly grown & completly manufactured in California on a 25 acre organic farm. Even our latest wax scent of blueberry, is grown organically and hand picked for my wax scents.
 
My waxes are sold in many surf shops in Puerto Rico and Florida, also online at mariassurfwax.com and on amazon at amazon/ Maria Surf Wax. My goal is to take my wax globally as one of the first VEGAN waxes ever made and we are currently the top selling vegan surf wax on Amazon. My tropical wax is limited edition and all proceeds are donated to Hurricane Maria relief charities.

Question 4

Why?

Accepted Answer

I want to help raise money and donate it to different hurricane maria relief funds to help my community.  
Also, after doing a lot of research with my mom and step-dad we couldn't find any surf waxes that we’re vegan.  Many surf waxes use bees wax, parafin and petroleum. Its very important to me and my family that its vegan and no animals, not even bees, are harmed in the wax making process. Our waxes are all organically grown, picked and poured on the farm.
