Mencel Surfboards x Whalebone: In Good Company

Whalebone and Mencel Surfboards came together to shape a small run of custom boards built for the waves we know best. Crafted in Monmouth with Montauk in mind, this collaboration blends shared community, craftsmanship, and a love for the water.

ROOTS

Earlier this summer, we joined forces with our friend and local photographer, James Katsipis, to create ROOTS: a photo series that celebrates the stories and faces of the hardworking individuals in our Whalebone community, both in Montauk and beyond. Take a look behind the lens and get to know some of these great folks.
