Teardrop Camper ICC Now Available

Introducing the Teardrop Camper Integrated Cargo Carrier. The ICC increases storage capacity to a cavernous 23 cubic feet (0.66m3) - comparable to a contemporary hatchback - while adding only 9" (23cm) of height to the complete package. The cargo volume is divided into five flexible storage compartments so you can organize and stow your gear as you see fit. It's an easy retrofit if you already have a Teardrop Camper, or you can build it alongside your Teardrop Camper project.
Two locking side doors flank the forward sides of the ICC, just under the doors of the Teardrop Camper, so you can access gear quickly when you're getting in or out.  At the rear of the ICC are two sliding drawers, each with four removable dividers.  Since they're right under the galley compartment of the camper, these are the obvious places to stow provisions and cooking supplies.  Less obvious, perhaps, is the function of the open back to the drawers:  Remove the dividers and the entire length of the side compartment can swallow oversized gear.  Drop in a surfboard, guitar, folding table; you name it.  

The centerline compartment runs the entire length of the ICC. It's accessible through a locking rear door nestled between the two sliding drawers.  At nearly 85" (2160mm) long, it's a perfect place to stow a pop-up tent, skis and poles, oars, fishing rods, tripods, or anything else long and skinny. 
An ultralight folding step-stool nests atop the drawer dividers in either of the side drawers.  Deploy the step if you need a touch more height to access the galley, or use it as an ottoman while you're hanging around the campfire.

The ICC features the same rugged marine plywood, epoxy, and fiberglass construction as the CLC Teardrop, and it's waterproof at 70mph (110kph) in a rainstorm on the highway.

The ICC is much more than "just a box".  It fits harmoniously with the proportions of the Teardrop Camper: you'll only know it's a separate unit because you built it!  And in the same way the Teardrop appears so much more voluminous on the inside than out, you'll be amazed by the quantity of gear you can organize and stow - in lockable compartments - for your next adventure.

See our Teardrop Camper page for further details on the ICC and to place your order. Alternatively, please contact us if you have any other questions or would like a personalised shipping quote.

Grain Wooden Surfboard Kits

Don't forget, the Grain wooden surfboard kit range is now available! So jump over to our website and place an order for your wooden surfboard kit, frames, or plans today.

Never fear, if you’re good with your hands, can work carefully with an attention to detail and follow written instructions, you should be able to tackle this project with great success. While some woodworking experience can be helpful, most people take 60-80 hours of hands-on time to complete a board. With glue and epoxy drying times, the fastest you can complete a board from a kit is two to three weeks. However most people build boards over several months or more, picking away at it little by little as time allows. While the finished product can feel far away, if you focus on each achievable small step, they'll quickly add up to a beautiful surfboard that you'll always feel proud of. Grain have helped thousands of people do it. And know that you’ll love the feeling of dropping into your first wave on a Homegrown Surfboard Kit you built yourself. It’s indescribable.

Grain developed the kits before wood surfboard kits existed anywhere else, and from the beginning, they've wanted them to be complete, comprehensible and above all, do-able.  We support our kit builders by phone, email, and in person. We want every surfer to get the same experience we've had, and to paddle out, incredulous, on a gorgeous board they built themselves.

See our Grain Surfboard range for further details and to place your order.

Constructing a Grain Wooden Surfboard

10% Off First 5 Northeaster Dory Kits

The Northeaster Dory uses Chesapeake Light Craft's patented LapStitch process, in which pre-cut planking is assembled quickly with wire "stitches" and nothing more than a pair of ordinary sawhorses. Epoxied together, the hull is light, only about 45kg, and very strong.  And with 360kg of displacement, this dory offers real versatility.  It's small enough to be rowed by one person, but big enough for tandem rowing with two adults.  Like all dories, the Northeaster tracks well, has a long glide, and stays dry in waves.  Even four adults have comfortable seating. When building from a kit, the Northeaster Dory will take most builders an average of 9 days to structural completion. See our Northeaster Dory page for further details.
 

The first five orders of Northeaster Dory base or wood only kits will receive 10% off. This offer is valid until five kits have been sold or until the end of February, whichever comes first. So place an order for your Northeaster Dory kit today to take advantage of this offer while it lasts!

*Offer valid till five (5) kits are sold, ends 29/02/20 (whichever comes first). Applicable only to the Northeaster Dory base or wood parts only kits. Shipping for all kits is tailored to suit individual orders and will be quoted separately.
