    Oh man, now we're cookin'. You know what? If you pledge $100 or more, I'll send you a special limited edition Ryan Lovelace Surf | Craft t-shirt.

    Hey, for that kind of generosity I'll burn your name into the walls of my shop, then mail you a hand-made book just like the ones that I gave to my parents this year for christmas! The covers are Baltic birch lined and accented with canvas, and the inside is chock-full of beautiful photos of my boards being built, surfed and shared around the world.

    This'll get your name forever embedded in my walls, a limited edition t-shirt, and THEN a beautiful hand-foiled wood fin [by yours truly] glassed with the plant-based resin that I'll be using in my new line of boards. They'll be nicely framed so that you can look at it while you're at home and think about surfing even more than you already do.

    For this kind of overflowing show of positive action you'll get the beautiful enviro-fin, and even invite you out to my shop on the coast of northern Santa Barbara for a day of shaping and working with the new materials. We can drink coffee (or tea?), play with my dog/life coach Herbie, explore the greenhouses, and get our hands dirty on unique surfboards if you're up to the challenge! And you bet your name is gonna get burned into my shop walls, too.

    Estimated delivery: Jul 2012

    You wanted a reward that includes a custom surfboard AND your strong, beautiful name branded on my shop walls? Well here it is! For your extremely generous donation of $2000 or more you'll get a custom designed and built environmentally conscious surfboard and you're more than invited to come watch me build it by hand, in front of your very own pair of eyes. Get dusty, smell the plant-based resins in the air, and realize a more responsible way to carry on this honorable craft! All I ask is that I can hug you when you arrive, you beautiful human being.
