Last Thursday in Portland Tyler, Jim and the whole crew at Corduroy Surf Boutique put on a great event. The Mattson 2 played in the shop while the movie aired next door at the Big Easy. We were invited to display some boards and raffle off some merchandise and were really happy to do so. The mini-gun we designed with Dave Rastovich, a HomeGrown 5’4″ Waka, an 8′ Mini-Tanker and a 5’10″ Waka (pre top planks) were all on display. As mentioned in previous posts, the 5’4″ Waka was built by our friend Jeff Martin and will eventually be raffled off to raise money for the Jordan Kelly Surf School Fund. Keep an eye on our blog for more information.

If you have any interest in wooden surfboards, you really should see The Present. Thomas Campbell dedicated an impressive amount of time to Danny Hess and Tom Wegener, two board builders that we’ve always looked up to. The Alaia footage is groundbreaking and amazing!
