This past February, Grain
Surfboards flew to California, pulled together all the necessary tools
and materials, and led a 4-day surfboard building class within the
historic walls of the Surfing Heritage & Culture Center in San
Clemente. Now they are heading west this July to do it again, July 31st
through August 3rd.
Like the first time, this 4-day class includes the full course of
instruction, use of tools, all the supplies and materials and two meals a
day. Each student walks away with their own board ready-to-glass.
Grain even throws in all of the glassing supplies and instructions plus a
free membership to the Surfing Heritage & Culture Center.
One great addition to this summer’s
class is that Grain plans to combine this trip with a 2 week demo tour
around Southern California. Those who have wanted to get on Grain boards
and haven’t had the chance, will now have an opportunity.
During the first class this past Feburary, Jen Smith,
former surfer for Roxy, was able to attend and build a Paipo, she
recently shared her experience- “Building a wooden surfboard in the
museum next to all the original chambered boards and other relics was a
pretty special experience. The guys were super helpful and really know
their stuff. My board came out looking so beautiful and I can’t wait to
glass it and get it in the water.”
The class is only open to six students – spots fill up quickly. Registration is currently open.
