Power Source
surfboards has built the reputation of being the number one
surfboard manufacturer in Ireland for the last 18 years &
continues to produce quality custom surfboards, all totally
handcrafted by Mark McGuire.
Born in to
surfing & the industry in the sixties, Mark has over thirty
years surfing experience & has been shaping for over 20 years.
The Power
Source label was born in 1988 in Newquay, Cornwall. In 1990 Mark
moved his operation to north west Ireland, and is now situated in
north Leitrim, 6k from Bundoran. Today, Mark still as dedicated
as ever in & out of the water, is continually pushing his designs
in all conditions & in many directions. His past contest
experience in the UK & Ireland has stood by him through
understanding design & function, among his Irish results was
bringing the
Intercounties Cup to Leitrim for the first time in '94 & extending
this to 4 years in a row in '95, '96, & '97. This design element
continues to evolve with constant feedback from his Irish &
international riders . Mark has had the pleasure of working with
some talented surfers in the past, & a few living legends,
including Chris Malloy & Joel Fitzgerald where alongside Mark, was featured
in his shaping bay on the film "Litmus". His Irish sponsored
riders still continue to be amongst the most talented free surfers
on the island.
Mark is one of the few
rare craftsmen today who can shape, glass, sand and polish ( &
surf to a high level ). He is equally skilled at shaping performance shortboards
to minimals to serious guns, one of his great abilities is to listen to his customers, not forcing his ideas on them,
but more so helping to put their ideas and experiences together
with his own, into a finished, functional shape. This open
thinking results in boards that are special & unique.
At Power Source surfboards, each board is
totally hand crafted from start to finish,& gets individual
attention throughout each stage of production. Manufactured from
the finest materials available, no seconds here!!
Our belief is
in quality & function 4 each individual.
