The Drifter 26 in dark brown, with beige and black points, set up for play
Made to order
Description

The Drifter rolls into its own case and closes with a strap, so it goes where you go. Open, it plays like any board: the points are laid out to the same measure.

Points are laid or stitched by hand on vegetable-tanned leather, dyed in the studio rather than bought pre-colored. The dye takes differently across a hide, which is why no two boards are exactly alike and why there is no on-screen preview of yours.

Care
01
Keep it out of the sun

Veg-tan darkens where light hits it. A board left half in a window will tan unevenly and stay that way.

02
Wipe, do not wash

A dry cloth for dust, a barely damp one for a spill. Never soap, never a soak — water lifts hand-dye.

03
Condition once a year

A neutral leather balm, worked in thin and buffed off.

The Drifter

Rolls into its own case, with a strap. Made to be carried to a bar, a porch or a plane, and to still be the best board in the room when it opens.
