Surfboards

Why It's Good:

While Maine might not be the first place that comes to mind when you think about surfing, the master board-crafters responsible for Grain Surfboards prove that the sport is alive and well in the colder corners of the US. Every one of the hand-crafted boards is a unique work of art, and for those budget-surfers out there, Grain also offers do-it-yourself surfboard-building kits, which come with all the materials necessary to build your own high-quality, wooden board.

Why It's Green:

Grain surfboards are built with local wood cut by sustainable forestry professionals, and the leftover wood scraps are used as fuel, compost, and wood chips.
