A Waka for Tristan

We recently received an email from California musician Tristan Prettyman… she and her dad, Terry have been working on a 5′10″ Waka, fitting it in around Tristan’s busy career. They’re actually working from one of the earliest kits we produced and, though there’ve been a number of changes to the kits over the years which have made them easier to build, it looks like Tristan & Terry have been doing a great job. Hopefully the board will be ready to surf in the near future. Check out Tristan’s music here. We’re really pumped to have her on a board.

    I finished a Waka here in Long Beach, CA. in mid August. If they have any questions feel free to give them my email. I sent Mike a shot of my board down in Baja, Mx with a freighter in the background, he suggested an article on it, the board, experience etc…I would love to contribute. Thanks, and I love spreading the Grain love and watching fellow surfers eyes light up at the sight of this piece of art! More shots to come if you would like them (of course the shots will be of me surfing!!!! Ha!)

    Can’t wait to see more pics Simon… ’specially of the board in the water – we always want to see more of those for sure. We’ll definitely pass on your offer to Tristan and her dad. Thanks!
