About

Grain Surfboards

At Grain, we design, build, and help you build true wooden surfboards with the idea that they will never see the landfill. We've been leading the way, promoting wooden boards as a better alternative to whats become the environmentally-harmful industry norms. We employ the most advanced 3D modelling programs to create our shapes and then combine that with time-tested traditional building techniques to create a process that's truly enjoyable. We strive to reduce our environmental impacts by using local sustainable materials, creative re-purposing or recycling of waste and operational efficiency within our shop on every level. We believe that building and surfing a hand-built wooden surfboard is the ultimate experience a surfer can have.

Our mission?

To design and build surfboards that have more impact on your surfing and less impact on the environment.

Our Boards

Grain Surfboards are designed using the latest 3D modeling technology and hand-built using time honored woodworking techniques and local, sustainable softwoods that naturally produce artful grain patterns on every board. Our itch for surfing and our passion for working wood inspire us to create beautiful and functional surfboards designed to last forever.
