Today was a big day, probably our biggest in the Grain Surfboards shop. Through a combination of great press, promotions and many, many surfers and builders finding their way to Grain, we’ve reached a new milestone at the company: Our first double-digit order day.
Grain received a combination of online, phone and email orders today for more custom surfboards and Home Grown Surfboard kits than we’ve ever received in a single day. These orders came on top of a banner month for the shop and will require all hands on deck to put all the orders together!
Here’s a shot of Mike building the first board out in the driveway of the original Grain shop in York…
In addition to this milestone, we received a note from a happy customer that helped make all of the hard work worthwhile. Thanks Jess! Glad the board is every thing you dreamed of. We had a feeling it would be.

it’s jess! i LOVE my new fish it is the most incredible thing every made on this planet
i am still getting used to the size (it is 2 ft smaller than anything i have ever ridden) but it is so fast! no joke, the first time i caught a wave i dropped in and i must have been going M3; i fell off it was so fast! but don’t worry i am going to be pulling airs and even sweet-er floaters soon!
it must take me half hour to get in the water every time i surf because everyone wants to hold/touch/talk about how beautiful my board is.
mike, thanks again for making this dream possible. my board is so much more than i ever dreamed of….
hope all is well with you and Gretchen…i am in the middle of finals… so more later.
peace and olas
jess
