Surfboard Rugs

http://www.rugboards.com/
I'm taking a short break from the kids (actually, I totally promise I will post one of them tomorrow, I'm definitely behind) and doing a post on Jensen Rugboards.  Jensen Rugboards is Steve's surfboard rug business.  He has been in business since 1997 and this is his story.


Steve has been laying carpet for many years.  He started learning the trade when he was a little boy with his dad.  He was successful at it for many years, but it wreaks havoc on the body.  Steve started surfing in the 90s.  He would get up early before work and hit the beach.  One day after surfing, sitting in his shop he realized that a surfboard is the same size as a carpet runner.  He made one up that very day and the first surfboard rug was born and he named it a rugboard.

Over the course of Jensen Rugboards, his surfboard rugs have been very popular with surfers in their decor.  Locals love Steve's surfboard rugs because they are beachy, unique and fun.  Tourists love the surfboard rugs because it is a quality piece in their decorating that can remind them of that "great trip" for years to come.

Jensen Rugboards has many kinds of surfboard rugs.  The original rugs are custom, handmade by Steve himself, and last for years and years.  People use these rugs everywhere in their house.


 He also has a manufactured rug that is machine washable.  The machine washable rugs come in a 4' long traditional surfboard shape and a contour shape that fits around the toilet.  These rugs are obviously good for the beach themed bathroom. 


  
Another kind of rug Jensen Rugboards has is made of a natural woven material called sisal.   This surfboard rug is for the surfer who's wife wants something that will "blend" in a little more. This particular rug has a Hobie logo on it. 
Jensen Rugboards can custom make any size or color of surfboard rug you want!
