Archive for June, 2008

June 20th was International Surf Day. Select spots around the globe were blessed with waves, while others were not so fortunate. Southern Maine was one of those places where the Atlantic Ocean decided to go flat for what seemed like the 20th day in a row. Doing his part over at Grain, board builder Brad Anderson decided to observe the day by using zero electricity while shaping his 10′6 pintail. Below are some photos of Brad having very little environmental impact on the surfing world. For more photos of International Surf Day from around the world check out surfingthemag.com

In a “global” economy, shipping often carries greater costs – both financial and environmental – than producing the products being shipped. This month we began a new relationship with UPS who’ll now be our primary shipper. Worldwide, UPS has shown it has an interest in reducing its contribution to world pollution by utilizing more hybrid vehicles, doing extensive research and even developing its own route-planning software to reduce fuel usage. Besides being rated as one of the most socially responsible package carriers in the world UPS also offers us more than the other shippers we have tried. This translates to more efficiency for us, which reduces costs for our customers and friends.

To celebrate our switch to UPS we’re offering FREE SHIPPING within the continental U.S. on all of our Home Grown Wooden Surfboard kits for a limited time. Place your order today and have your board ready for those long summer days at the beach.

Also on sale is everything we have left in our inventory of Mens and Womens T-shirts and Hoodies, all 20% off until we re-stock! Note: Small & X-small T’s are a great fit for kids.

Look forward to helping you get on a wooden board.
