grainThe burly boys down the road at Grain Surfboards are at it again. This past weekend marked the launch of their Rollin Nolan East Coast Ramble – heading from their home office (barn) in Maine to the Outer Banks – stopping along the way to spread the stoke and leave some sawdust to find their way back home…


We’ll be offering 10% off all kits for anyone that sends us a pic of themselves with Nolan, and – even better – also entering them to win a free HomeGrown Surfboard Kit, winner to be announced at Nolan’s welcome home party.
