Home Grown Surfboard Kits now Available in Europe through Magicseaweed

Grain Home Grown Surfboard kits have been in growing demand from our friends in the UK and Ireland since we first started shipping them over a year ago. As a first step towards getting surfers across the pond hooked up with Grain, we’ve recently signed Magicseaweed on as a European Distributor.

Check out HomeGrown Kits at their online store here.

One of the core values at Grain Surfboards is to operate with as little impact on the environment as possible. We think of our relationship with Magicseaweed is a great step in reaching these goals, allowing us to offer kits on a more practical level without having to ship one kit at a time.

Our long-term goal is to offer our boards and kits in primary surf regions around the world using woods that are not only local to the region but sustainably managed as well. While we haven’t found that resource in Europe yet, we’re certain that the opportunity will present itself. The best of all worlds would be to find a type of wood that was light, rot resistant, strong and beautiful to look at that was in close proximity to the waves. The world would be a great place!

Magicseaweed has become one of the best online resources for surf news, wave forecasts, surf products, photos, travel news and more. Click here to check out the site.

    I just got the latest copy of Longboard mag. There is a nice pic of a hollow wooden board at the “Sacred Craft” show. No credits given so naturally I assume its yours(at least that is what I am telling my friends).
    See you in the water,

    Good news indeed! It’s exciting to hear it will be easier to purchase kits in Austrailia and now The UK, I will let my cousin know in England about Magicseaweed and Grain!

    Question for you guys at Grain: Have you thought about or are there any plans for distribution
    of kits in Asia? especially Japan? would love to know.. any news about this region.
