Crossing boundaries and seeking adventure for the ultimate wave riding experience is the paramount of life and design at stretch boards. We’re no strangers to alternative constructions, wave types and riding styles. Our family, friends and team riders delve into the kite, tow, big wave, surf, wakesurf, longboard and psycho surf venues. Throw into the mix progressive watermen like Peter Trow, Garrett Mcnamara and a host of ocean aficionados, it should come as no surprise that Stretch would ultimately get his mind wrapped around more than just your average SUP.
