praise the board!
we have been working with our featured shaper dave allee at almond for almost 3 months now. we have been extremely happy not only to introduce his shapes and designs to maine, but we really just dig working with almond. we were able to do a custom board for our good friend and artist nate deyesso- who built all of our awesome metal racks and surfboard stands. we had the pleasure of bringing the finished 9'0 almond singlefin to him with nate's own artwork on it this past week. his little ladies olive & matilda approved.
praise the board!
thanks dave and nate.

surfers journal- go get it!
one of our extended family members, liz cockrum, has a stellar piece in the most recent issue of sj.
wooohoo!
there is also a piece on the good old state of maine with amazing shots from nick lavecchia .
sounds like a perfect thing to grab and read in the fall sun.
we will be carrying it soon enough.
fair fish
we recently met some of the folks from fair fish. we thought since most of us care a lot about what is going on and in the ocean we love so dear, that we should help spread the word about how to get involved to ensure fair access to fish for fisherman and safer, more sustainable seafood for all of us.
their kick off meeting is tomorrow evening, details here.

nick says "dress up or i will make fun of you."
are you reddy?yes, reddy- nick reddy's birthday party that is. nick is a new friend of the corduroy family and we are hosting his golden birthday party here next thursday the 24th. nick grew up in maine, and he has only surfed once... trust me- we are working on that. nick just started tattooing at blindsight tattoo across the street from the shop.
the night will be filled with a mimosa bar, 2 bands- waranimal (with a special surprise guest) and a primitive and savage land. lastly, it is a costume party... the theme is gold. best dressed with win the crucial brass unicorn. yes, the brass unicorn.
and, as always it's free.
