There's nothing like being eco-friendly while enjoying the environment. Grain Surfboards began with a desire to help the environment but improve the surfing experience at the same time.
Instead of the regular foam make-up of other boards, these two East Coast dudes (York Beach, Maine to be exact) went the direction of using Northern-White Cedar mixed with air composition in order to manufacture their boards.
Aside from the durability (they last longer than foam boards) and the environmentally savvy make-up of the boards, they do look pretty sweet.
Surf’s up!
