About Us

Vero Frescobol is a Florida‑based family business dedicated to crafting premium frescobol paddles, balls, and beach gear inspired by the spirit of Rio de Janeiro and built for a lifetime of play.

Our story began in 2001 on Costa do Cacau beach in Bahia, Brazil, where we first discovered the joy and rhythm of frescobol. That moment sparked a decades‑long passion to refine the classic Rio‑style birch wood paddle — blending Brazilian tradition with American craftsmanship.

Over the years, our paddles have evolved into performance‑driven works of art. We engineer each model using aerospace‑grade carbon fiber, premium fiberglass, and proprietary marine‑grade honeycomb woods. Unlike traditional laminated paddles made from glued strips, our solid American hardwood cores — walnut, cherry, hickory, and birch — deliver exceptional strength, warm natural tones, and unique character. Every paddle is shaped, reinforced, and finished to withstand years of sun, sand, and saltwater.

Our Rainforest Therapy Collection reflects our commitment to responsible sourcing and sustainability, featuring materials selected with care for both performance and the planet.

The honeycomb wood series offers our largest sweet spot from end to end, giving players unmatched control, responsiveness, and fun. These paddles are incredibly durable yet super lightweight at ~10.5oz (298g). Each wood paddle is laser‑engraved and finished with eco‑friendly lacquer — often teak‑oil based — so saltwater sheds effortlessly.

Every paddle is handcrafted with pride in our Florida and Brazil workshops. And every paddle is guaranteed for life. If you’re the original owner and a defect ever appears, we’ll replace it right away.

Our wonderful customers around the world continue to send photos of Vero paddles purchased in the early 2000s — still in play today. Explore our Gallery to see frescobol in action across beaches in the US, UK, Spain, Greece, Italy, France, Australia, Singapore, Japan, Mexico, Costa Rica, and of course, the sport’s birthplace — magical Rio de Janeiro.

Frescobol is more than a game. It’s a Brazilian tradition rooted in friendship, rhythm, and positive energy. To learn more about its origins, visit our History of Frescobol.

We hope you enjoy every rally.
