Gus Hamborg // Alaia

Gus stopped by a couple weeks ago to pick up an alaia blank... he wanted to see if his Hamboard experience crossed over to Alaia making... and frankly I'm quite impressed with the finished product. He even wood-burned a tree into the deck.

Demo Day // Recap

We had a really strong turn out on Saturday for the board demo. The waves were kinda small, but everyone seemed to be getting waves. Seems like the Almond Joy was the overwhelming favorite of the day. We’ll be back out there for another demo next month. Thanks to everyone who came out, particularly those who shared their boards.

Narrow Joy // for Taylor

Taylor had Griffin pull the Joy template in to 19″ wide and trace it onto a blank, as-is. Here is the result.
Looks like a fun one for days like today.

Sam Schafer // Coffee Mugs

Sam Schafer rips at surfing, and he’s a skilled ceramist. (not to mention an all around stand-up guy)

He did a batch of mugs for us that we love so much, we’ve decided to share them with you.
