Today is our 3 year anniversary. But this particular anniversary we’re not exactly raging with 1500 of you in our parking lot with beer floats, slushees, and sweet vinyl beats. No, this kinda feels like we’re sitting in an empty mall with a party hat. 🥳

Can’t wait to see @jeremiahkille’s artwork on this handplane 🎨 The @OwensCorning material we used was packaging in a shipment we received. Rather than send it to the landfill, we’re using it to make our lightest handplanes ever! It has a pre-glassed weight of only 39 grams!

THIS. IS. HUGE! Surfing is officially an olympic sport, which means we’re mere decades away from making boogie boarding part of world’s most important athletic competition! Join us in our campaign to prove that the only thing tighter than surfing is surfing on your belly.
