Riding Eternal Waves with the R.I.P. Board

Riding Eternal Waves with the R.I.P. Board

Buster the Spoodle

Buster was our mate.  A happy and lively guy with endless energy and always way too happy to see us.  He loved the beach and was always in the ocean before we got down the steep steps to the sand.  I swear you could see the smile on his face whenever he went for a run with the wind in his chops.  Buster was our spoodle and we were all devastated when he was taken from us way too soon.  Anyone who has loved and lost a fur baby would understand the grief we experienced.

We held on to his ashes for a year and then Greg came up with the idea of placing them in a surfboard he was making so Buster could go surfing and that is exactly what happened.  We now have the "Buster Board" and it makes us smile to think of him riding the waves.  

Greg Facer

Greg decided that he would love the same thing to happen with his own ashes - he could think of nothing better than being able to ride eternal waves inside a board when his time comes.  And so RIP Boards was conceived.  Handcrafted, stunning custom designed boards that can house up to 1kg of ashes inside a custom build chamber.  Hand shaped out of sustainable Paulownia timber our boards can be delivered world wide for you to place your Loved One's ashes inside the chamber and take them for that elusive 'just one more wave' that every surfer yearns for.
