Three days out! This Saturday, Oct 10, we get to gather at the studio to see original and dynamic artwork by Patrick Conklin— including a live Q&A to kick off the night.

His roots are here in Flagler Beach and his craeft—and surfing—have taken him from New York to Ireland and more. He will be showcasing new work from his artist in residency at the studio over the last month as well as pulling out work from his global travels and books of drawings. ( already has her eye on one big piece we won’t mention.)

Doors at 7. Free and open to all. Come find something for your walls, and forward to someone who appreciates art.

A night out to enjoy original work by a local artist and maybe leave with a piece for yourself.

We opened the studio to Patrick Conklin for a month-long artist in residency. He is an artist from Flagler Beach with work featured in New York and abroad landing in homes, businesses, galleries, and books.

Next Saturday, October 10, we celebrate the new work he's made here—paintings in a range of sizes and price points to suit any space, alongside original drawings and a sculpture.

Every piece is one of a kind and available to take home that night.

Live music, drinks, and the ocean right outside as the sun goes down.

Free and open to the public. Bring someone who loves art or celebrating local talent.

Surfing is healing. Community is healing. Legacy is healing.

These are the moments you don’t run ads for but can have the greatest ROI.

One of our newest students walked through our doors this week wanting to learn to surf, in part to feel closer to his dad—the late Nathan Palmer who hailed from South Africa and rooted here in Flagler Beach.

Like many surfers, he was widely known by his nickname, Nate the Mate. The very name Chase and his mom Jessica pointed out on a memorial sticker right outside in our courtyard.

The moment felt weighty. Craeft is about passing down tradition to the next generation … born out of The Tommy, which is about celebrating loved ones who have gone before us and learning how to grieve and heal together.

We are honored to have Jessica and Chase part of our surf community and to play such a meaningful role in his journey to adopt his father’s passion for surfing and the ocean.

It’s healing for all of us.

This is what we've been waiting for. Why we started the Fellows Program. So that in moments like this, when a swell of this magnitude rises, we can see him go.

The chance came fast. A long-period swell is filling in over one of the heaviest, fastest reefs on the planet, and Robbie's never surfed it. It's terrifying. It's a lot to take on.

But when all the conditions line up, Cloudbreak produces culture-shaping moments. Is it even humanly possible to paddle into these waves?

With our collective support through the Fellows grant, we get to help position one of our best hometown athletes to find out.

We’re rooting for you, Robbie! And no matter the outcome, you inspire us.

This is part one: the call. Next, everything it takes to get there.

We see their potential before they do.

We push them into waves they don’t think they can make because we know the water and what they’re capable of.

We know it only takes one wave to transform how they see themselves and what’s possible in life.

We never know which wave is going to be the one that transforms them—but we know it when we see it. And it all starts with the right push.

Fall program starts in one week, and it’s already half full! Secure your spot today.

Last night felt historic. Something about the moody weather, the packed lot, and the first open event at the studio had us all buzzing. Throw up some of FB’s best surf talent on a big screen, and Ryan’s words couldn’t feel more true: “There’s not another surf community as tight knit and cool as Flagler Beach.”

If you were there, thank you! It’s always a special time when we come together, and it was especially cool to see all the generations under one roof, including many of our summer surf students.

If you weren’t, we’re sorry you missed out! Hopefully you caught the magical rainbow wherever you were.

This is just the beginning. More events to come.

Special recognition and thanks:
for serving behind the bar
for the jams, and last minute pivoting to the porch!
and fam for the film tech
for the opening film feat the 2025 swell from Hurricane Erin
for premiering “HUCK 2” with us
for all the hours making the edit and joining us
and for working together to prep and share the area for the event
And the friends and family that helped set up, run, and clean up the event.

We agree with Ryan—we have the best surf community here in Flagler Beach. Where else can a community say that they help fund a local athlete’s career? And then get to premiere his film just across from the break where he grew up learning to surf with us.

Come out TONIGHT to see Ryan Huckabee's latest project and celebrate together the incredible talent that our town produces.

We're shutting down the parking lot. Setting up live music. Blowing up the big screen. Let's pack it out!

Doors open at 7:00 pm
