how we work

three rules,
no exceptions

rev 04 / 2026 — published in full, revised when something breaks

01

test it where it hurts

Nothing ships until it has been through a winter it was not designed for. If it fails, it goes back to the bench — not into the catalogue.

02

small runs, no restocks

Every drop is numbered and finite. We would rather sell out in a week than warehouse a year of inventory nobody asked for.

03

specs over stories

You get dimensions, materials and tolerances on every product page. The marketing department can find something else to do.

eleven degrees and falling

Six days on the north Atlantic testing the 5/4. Notes on flush, seam fatigue and what actually keeps you in the water past hour three.

why the stringer is carbon now

We snapped four boards to find the failure point. Here is the data, the rebuild, and the reason drop 04 costs more than drop 03.

drop 04 — the heavy stuff

Six products, one season, no restock. A walk through what we made, who made it, and where each piece was put through it.

go get wet

Drop 04 is finite and numbered. When the counter hits zero, that is the end of it — no restock, no back order.
