blue magazine

yesterday i received a weathered envelope from japan that enclosed a few copies of the november issue of japan's surfside style magazine, blue.  blue is a beautifully designed magazine that speaks to the creative, independent surf culture around the world.

last fall,  the we were visited by takashi and junko here at the shop.  they took some photos, asked some questions and they were on their way.

a few weeks later we heard that they were doing a feature on the northeast.

but best yet, i opened the magazine and saw a whole feature on all our buds as well!

grain surfboards, the pine haven collective, and ty williams were all featured as well.

man do we feel lucky to be surrounded by some awesomely talented staycationers- mainers that is.

thank you to blue magazine and cheers to our buds for doing awesome things.
