We visited Grain Surfboards headquarters towards the end of the summer and got to check out some of the boards they were working on. If you’re new to Grain, they build surfboards from locally-sourced wood in Maine.
Grain works out of a giant barn in York, Maine, a beautiful coastal town on the south eastern tip of Maine. They had just recently held a festival at their headquarters where a bunch of surfers and folks in the surf industry gathered to raise some environmental awareness and talk about creativity in the surf world (Grain’s page on the event) (article on the event). It’s a yearly event and we’re hoping to make it next year!
The Granite Stoke put together this video from the event:
We stopped by on a Tuesday and they were fresh off of a board building class the previous weekend. Founder Mike LaVecchia showed us around the barn and we were able to snap a few pictures!
If you’re in the market for a new board, check them out!
