Who Made My Surf Poncho?
Our beach ponchos come to life in a small workshop in the city of Mérida, in Mexico’s Yucatán region, a place renowned for its refined textile craftsmanship. It’s no coincidence that the magic happens here: the workshop was founded by Michèle’s family, one of the co-founders of Pakal Ethnic.
With a small team of eight artisans of Mayan heritage, Michèle and her parents carefully oversee our handmade ponchos production each year with dedication and attention to detail. This small-scale approach is at the heart of our vision for ethical surf gear, focusing to maintain high-quality standards while staying closely connected to the people behind each piece.
As a family-run business, we take pride in knowing everyone involved in the production process. We feel lucky to work with such a talented team and wanted to introduce them to you. Meet the makers behind our handmade beach ponchos!
