Grain Surfboards are made from locally grown wood cut by sustainable forestry pros. Plus the folks over at Grain reuse the wood by-product for fuel, compost & wood chips. While it is not a completely “Green” process (they still employ the use of chemicals and petroleum based products), the wood boards offer a much “Greener” alternative to foam core boards and their due to their beauty and durability, they are unlikely to end up in a landfill.

Grain Surfboards began in the basement of founder, Mike LaVecchia’s York, ME home, minutes from the beach but has grown to be a leader in the sustainable surfboard market. His company combines classic board building techniques, modern design and environmentally friendly practices to produce boards that look amazing and ride even better. Currently Grain offers 9 different models and a Do it Yourself Kit.

    These look so much classier than foam core boards!

  2. I am Green & I love sports!!! Great looking boards!!! Surfing is one of my favorite pastimes, but I don’t get to go a lot at all…

    I’ve been boogie boarding here in Ontario in the summers, as we don’t really get waves big enough…Fun anyway!!!

    Kudos!!!

  3. I agree Tegan. These would actually look nice hung on the wall. I have a feeling the guys making them would rather seem them being used of course.

    I love em, but I can’t afford $2200. I could definitely buy one of those kits but I’d like to see more info on how hard it is to put together. Like a video or something.
