Since we started building boards, we’ve spent quite a bit of time exploring our coastlines. We’ve visited dozens of surf shops, some of our favorites we’ve stopped at over and over, just to drool over what other shapers/ builders are doing. Building boards in Maine, we’re a little removed from the mainstream surf scene, but all in all we think that’s not a bad thing.

Between our boards, kits and classes, we’ve had customers from all over the US and Canada, Japan, Norway, Iraq, Singapore, Australia, Mexico, Bali, France, Portugal and more.

Here in the US, while the majority of the boards and kit orders that we receive come to us directly from individual surfers, we do have a small but growing community of retail shops that are helping to spread the word on Grain. Some of these shops might stock a board or two, others may have kits, but each one is excited about what we’re doing, and we’re proud to have them as spokespeople of our brand.

In no particular order, here’s a list:
Our newest dealer: Ride the Wind in Ocracoke NC.
Cinnamon Rainbows in Hampton NH.
Farias Surf and Sport in Long Beach Island NJ.
Liquid Dreams in Ogunquit Me.
Nor’Easter Surf Shop in Scituate Ma.
Corduroy Boutique in Portland Me.
Quiksilver Surf Shop in Miami Beach Fl.
ZJ’s Boarding House in Santa Monica Ca.
Wetsand Surf Shop in Ventura Ca.
Channel Islands Retail Stores in Santa Barbara and Los Angeles California.

And speaking of CLC, they recently sent their demo truck out to the west coast, and along with all their beautiful boats, they have one of our 6’5″ Seed display boards. So if you’re curious what our boards look like and want to get a glimpse how they are built, check out their demo schedule here.

Be sure to check out these shops and let them know that your interested in our boards. If you have any suggestions for other shops that you think we should be in, we’d love to hear from you…or better yet, let them know that if they stocked our products, we’d have you as a customer in common.

Thanks for all your support.
