Mike Olson and Pete Saari have been creating Washington-inspired surfboards for years, using a one-of-a-kind building process that's nearly impossible to recreate.

Tucked away in Sequim lies secrets in surfboard technology that competitors would do anything to get their hands on."There’s a bunch of factories in Asia trying to knock you off, and we were shaking in our boots knowing if they could figure out how to knock us off, they could kill us on labor rates, and that might be our demise," said Mike Olson.

"Not only are Mervin Manufacturing surfboards difficult to ding and locally made, they take half the time a normal board takes to make.The one-of-a-kind building process is green and sustainable, good for the planet and the people making them."We were always environmentally-minded coming up in the 70s after the gas crisis, Three Mile Island," said Saari.
