100 Wave Challenge This Saturday!



If you haven't already heard of the 100 Wave challenge then take a look at the site. There are only a couple of days before the event and you can still join in on the fun. 

The event is a 12-hour surfing marathon to raise money for the Boys to Men Foundation - a non-profit organization that mentors underprivileged teenage boys here in San Diego and at centers all over the world.  Surfers who do the event try to catch as many waves as possible having gathered pledge commitments from family, friends and co-workers who sponsor them at a $1 per wave. 

The organization is amazing and is doing great work for teen boys that don't have dad's or other positive male role models. 


The basic idea is to catch 100 waves in 12 hours. Kipp will be doing the event for the *enjoy team and we are an event sponsor and will be donating an *enjoy Handplane to the first one to get 100 waves. If you want to join in on the fun go to there  site and sign up today. Hope to see everyone there!


Cardiff Classic Portraits





Stop by the booth tomorrow and get your picture taken with "the beard". After hanging next to Sanuk all day with those crazy mustaches we had to join in on the fun. In the *enjoy way we made a cool beard out of cardboard based on our friend and handplane ambassador Pierce Kavanagh. Now you too can rock the full beard and stach.  To see more and get your portrait join our *enjoy handplanes group on facebook and check out the album. See you tomorrow!!!

Cardiff Classic is This Weekend.


Kipp and I will be showing of handplanes and will have some demos to try out as well.  Stop by the booth and say hi!

Cardiff Classic Trophy by Tak


Our friend Tak did a collaboration with us for one of two trophies for this weekends Cardiff Classic.  This one is so cool. Great work Tak! 

Grain Re-Evolution was a blast

The Grain Re-Evolution adventure a.k.a. "Grainstock" was an unbelievable experience.  We shared the experience with La Jolla legend and east coast transplant Roger Beal, his lovely wife Lisa and son Tony. They took us (Pierce and Petra Kavanagh, Max Schmige and myself) up to Maine form Boston in their motor home. Here are a few pics from the trip.

Thank God for Roger's driving skills.  If you have ever traveled through Boston you may have noticed that they have some pretty crazy drivers. Roger is an old pro but it was sketchy none the less.

Pierce and Petra. The sun was bright and shinny after weeks of storms.

Roger's son Tony is an old soul at just 16. Not only is one talented artist and actor he speak a few languages and even gives card readings.

Max is the misfit pics director of photography for Manufacturing Stoke. Of German and Finish decent he is a man of few words and a genius behind the camera.

The motor home was great because while on the road we got last minute details done.

Once into Maine we had a challenge finding a close parking spot. Luckily we had a couple of bikes to get us down the the demo event.

It was good to see Rey from Entropy Resin here a the event. Re has helped us out a ton with *enjoy.

Long sands beach is a really cool spot. Once I got there I ditched the camera and went bodysurfing and surfing. This is a photo of a photo hung at Grain but it gives you an idea.


The Grain shop is everything I thought it would be. After 6 years of dreaming I was finally there and it felt so good.

Brad from Grain hosted a round table discussion on sustainability. It was so much fun to be a part of that.

One of my favorite things is to meet everyone at these events. Having a booth at this was the perfect way for me to interact and answer questions about our handplanes.

Max brought his vintage film camera with a slew of specialty films. He would set up and spend 20 mins for one shot.



Pierce being Pierce.



The Corduroy Gallery put on an art show that was very cool. Tyler Briggs the owner of Corduroy Gallery was actually the coordinator for the entire event. She deserves a standing ovation for doing the job she did.

















One of my favorite parts of the event was seeing Pierce and Petra's film Manufacturing Stoke on the side of the the Grain Barn. What a cool experience.



The Speed of Sand was the house band. They where great. 



The bonfire was HUGE. it had to be at least 25 feet high.



At Grain even the clouds make waves. It's hard to see here but I watched these clouds spin off into little barrels all morning.





I think one of our favorite parts was waking up on the farm. It was great to relax in such a beautiful place and the dew was so beautiful on the grass.





If you went then you know how much fun it was. If you didn't there is always next year. Looks like they are already planning the next one.
