The NFC chip · your board’s story
Your board carries an NFC chip. Tap it with a phone and it speaks for you: who built it, where, who stood beside you and the wood it was born from. Today it tells how it started. Tomorrow it will tell everything it lives with you.
Your name, the place, the shaper who guided you, the model and the Paulownia it’s made of. Its birth certificate, in wood and in code.
Every session, every trip, every wave worth remembering. The board keeps the story; you decide which chapters it writes.
Your board joins a network of boards built by hand, each with its name, its place and its people. Yours too — with your name inside.
