Our Story
Surf Lock is the brainchild of Mattia, a young quality manager in the metal industry.
Together with his partner Giorgia, the daughter of surf lovers, he discovered the sport and
fell in love with Van Life.
And if you like riding waves, you already know: securing boards is always the hardest part.
He needed an object, a something, or as a true Bolognese like him would say: a zavai.
Tired of always worrying about his boards leaving them without any protection, he independently designs a padlock for personal use.
Realizing the product’s potential, he and Giorgia founded Zavaii with the intention of bringing it to the international market.
After a long bureaucratic and informational journey, he has secured a place in the world of innovative startups, the security of his boards, and now yours.
Il percorso di Zavaii ha avuto inizio nel 2019, più la passione per il surf cresce, più cresce la determinazione di Mattia nel trovare una soluzione per assicurare le sue tavole.
Aveva bisogno di un oggetto, un qualcosa, o come direbbe un vero Bolognese come lui: un zavai.
Stanco di preoccuparsi sempre delle sue tavole lasciandole senza nessuna protezione, progetta autonomamente un lucchetto per uso personale.
Realizzando il potenziale del prodotto, insieme a Giorgia, fonda Zavaii, con l’intenzione di portarlo sul mercato internazionale.
Dopo un lungo percorso burocratico e informativo, si è garantito un posto nel mondo delle startup innovative, la sicurezza delle sue tavole, e ora anche delle vostre.
The name
The name “Zavaii” is an homage* to the Bolognese dialect and the surf mood of Hawaii. Mattia and Giorgia chose the name by combining “Zavai,” from the Bolognese dialect, with Hawaii, thus creating Zavaii.
Literally: small object or chore.
Why choose Zavaii?
