Happy Memorial Day Weekend


Here's some red, white and blue resin tent goodness to get you in the holiday spirit. These little beauties' are fresh from Kipp's garage shaping and glassing factory.  Apparently Kipp was feeling a bit patriotic when he glassed these. These two are from the new collaboration between he and I. I shape, he glasses and we both have more fun than we can stand. All while helping out the planet!

For those of you who have been following our handplane shenanigans, we have saved 7 boards form the landfill so far.  From that we have made or will make a few dozen new handplanes that will reenter the world to bring fun and stoke to their new owners. 

We have also discovered a whole new category of "Manufacturing Waste" that comes when a blank is broken or damaged while machine shaping. Next week we will meet with one of the largest machine companies and see what we can do to help save their manufacturing waste from the land fills.  

This project has opened our eyes to new possibilities, partnerships and plain old fun. If you know of any manufacturing waste that goes on in the surf industry or have broken boards that you would like to donate please contact us. We'd love to hear from you. Enjoy.
