Surf Re-Evolution 2025

+ The Wood Island Project

Sponsorship 

Surf Re-Evolution is an annual gathering of surf enthusiasts, sustainability advocates, and creative minds, taking place on September 19th and 20th in York, ME. Hosted by Grain Surfboards, this event explores the deep connection between humans, surfcraft, the ocean, and surf culture. It brings together innovative brands, artists, and environmentalists for a weekend of inspiration, collaboration, and storytelling.

The Wood Island Project:

A unique Opportunity for Deeper Brand Engagement

New for this year, we are launching The Wood Island Project, a unique documentary-driven experience that unfolds well before Surf Re-Evolution. Taking place in late June, this four-day, hands-on surfboard-building workshop will be held at the historic Wood Island Life Saving Station, off the New England coast.

Here’s what makes this special: six selected brand ambassadors—preferably surfers—will craft their own Grain Surfboards using a new-to-us, epoxy-free construction method. This process will be captured in a documentary film that highlights not just their personal stories, but also their brands’ connection to surfing, sustainability, and craftsmanship.

This is more than just a workshop. It’s an exclusive, content-rich experience that puts your brand at the center of a compelling story—one that will be showcased at Surf Re-Evolution, on a mini East Coast screening tour, and across media sponsor platforms.You can find sample content from our friends at Lonespruce Creative below. Mark and his team will be documenting the Wood Island project, bringing together their expertise in narrative storytelling and sharp eye for brand positioning.

Only six spots are available, and two are reserved for Glider Level sponsors.
