We Ride

Grain Surfboard’s background is with classic, wooden boats. So we turn to the time-tested techniques of boat-building for our surfboards. Each board begins as a concept - either yours or ours. From this concept, we create one-dimensional templates that define the board’s centerline and outline. Next we need to plan the hydrodynamic elements in three dimensions before we even begin construction. We then finely tune the board’s rail profiles with contemporary hand shaping techniques. Through this process, every design detail is scrutinized and dialed. How the board ultimately performs is a function of each of these steps, painstakingly carried out.

Over the last year, we worked hard with surfers, engineers and shapers to come up with the lineup of boards you find here. Grain Surfboard shapes vary from classic, single fin longboards to our buttery twin-finned Fish. They are all beautiful and all made to surf, not hang on the wall. Each board in the line is offered as a complete kit as well as a full handmade surfboard.

Grain Surfboards are designed by people who surf every time there are waves, from wind-slop to groundswell. We’re not pros, we just love surfing. When we’re not skipping work to surf, we’re probably watching “Sprout” just one more time, getting stoked. Our wooden surfboards are designed for people like us who love and live to surf.
