International Surf Day at Grain Surfboards
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

The beauty of the kits is that the shape is in the framing…thus once skinned it’s easy to do the final shaping with a hand plane (and cleaner, quieter, more satisfying…). Nothing like a razor-sharp hand plane taking thousandths off each pass. Sanding, on the other hand, is just tedious…
