Scotty Stopnik introduces us to the "Hand Job." 

An interview with Mikey DeTemple. 

Two days in Hawaii with the Sliders. 

Scotty Stopnik checks in

Myself, Mikey Detemple, Jake Burghart and Kassia Meador took off from New York city to Your Beach, Maine to hang out with the people over at Grain Surfboards and film for Mikey's new film and shred the seven seas of Maine.

 

If you've never checked Grain Surfboards out, go do it now.  Built from all natural wood similar to the way a boat is built. I ended up doing a 4'8" paipo copy kneeboard that works way better as a surfboard. Mikey is bulding a 5'0" Simmons-influenced twin fin, Kassia took the all classic 5'4" twin fin and as for Jake he shreds harder than all of us and built some hand plant bodysurfing boards.We scored a few unreal days here and have a week left here. The water is cold, the people are friendly and vibes are good.

I'll keep you people posted on the days events.—Scotty
