Win a Grain 5'4" Waka Fish for $10





Here is a really cool chance to win the same board we are building but as a 5'4". See bellow for details. It is for a really good cause. Mick Waters, Dave Rastovich and Johnny Abegg got involved as well and they filmed Dave and Johnny riding it and Dave signed the board.

Take a moment to read about why this board is being raffled. (See story here) It is very touching and very amazing how all this came together.

The guys at Grain, Mick, Dave, Johnny, even myself have put some serious energy into this project. The crew at Corduroy Surf Boutique is holding the event on Nov 11 and there is a huge list of folks that all have been instrumental in putting this on.


A fundraising partnership has formed between Grain Surfboards, Corduroy Boutique & Gallery, Stoked Mentoring and the family of  Jordan Kelly to raise funds benefitting at-risk youth.  On the other side of the planet, surfers Dave Rastovich and Johnny Abegg teamed up in Australia with filmmaker Mick Waters to lend their support to the effort.

Most recently, Grain Surfboards donated a 5’4” Lis-style wood fish made from cedar and burled walnut to be raffled for the Jordan Kelly Surf School Fund at Stoked. Rasta and Abegg surfed the board “down under” where they were filmed by Waters for the upcoming film “Little Black Wheels”
to be released this winter.  The board is personally signed by Rasta himself.

The surfboard, valued at $2,000, will be awarded during a come-one, come-all event to be held at Corduroy Surf Boutique in Portland, Maine on November 11.  Raffle tickets are $10 at

  .   (Winner is responsible for shipping the board, but we'll pack it!)

Shortly after his 21st birthday last year, Jordan Kelly died in a car accident on Thanksgiving night after a day of surfing, family and friends. He had a love of skating, surfing and woodworking and was drawn to the rootsy, DIY ethos of the wood surfboard builders at Grain Surfboards. Stoked Mentoring is a non profit action sports organization for at-risk youth with the mission of developing successful teens with opportunity, knowledge, experience, and determination through the use of action sports, mentoring and coaching. In Jordan’s memory, Grain, Jordan’s family and Stoked are planning surfboard-building classes for kids served by Stoked Mentoring. Special thanks to Corduroy Boutique & Gallery who, as a “combined lifestyle boutique and social scene”, tied everyone together and made it possible to establish the fund.
