We recently got word from one of our kit customers in Hawaii. James W is well into the building process of his two Grain Home Grown boards. We’re looking forward to seeing some finished shots of these beauties. Thanks James.
We just received some feedback for longtime Grain supporter and surfer Ty Will Yums. Ty built a 5′10″ Waka with us this past summer. He finished glassing the board in St. Augustine, Florida, where he goes to school and shreds the local beachbreaks. Below are Ty’s words from his new wood and water experience.
“surfed for three hours yesterday in absolute perfect waist to chest high waves and i rode the wooden fish…i know have the board wired!!!!!!!!!!!!! i figured it out and was getting the sickest waves…im so stoked i could spit…all my buddies were trying it and flipping out on how fun it was in the waves. it is such a good chest high wave board…it just holds you in the pocket and lets you stay in the critical spot.”

We just had a few days of well-deserved waves over the past weekend. While it might tend to keep us out of the shop for a few hours a day, the energy we get from a good session way more then makes up for it. Here’s one of our builders, Randy, just back in his home waters after a couple years in Costa Rica. Looks like he’s stoked to be home these days!
Thanks to some well-timed press and the launch of our new website, the Grain Surfboards name has been all over the online world this past week. With news of our new t’s and hoodies, info on our new board shapes and a our special on surfboard kits just in time for the holidays (what more could a surfer want), word is spreading around the surf community. Maybe there are more surfers out there who appreciate a perfect, hand-built, wooden surfboard that’s also friendly to the earth we live with. Keep your eyes peeled for more news soon.
