I'm mildly surprised that Maine has a surfing culture, but positively shocked that people actually make surfboards there. Local, sustainable craftsmanship. Beautiful:

People ask us why the business is in Maine and not in California or Hawaii or something, and the short easy answer is that it's in Maine because we're in Maine and this is a business that's partially about trying to make a place for people where they want to be. And that should start first with you answering the question "where do you want to be?" and...we wanna be in New England.
