This was Piya’s first time paddle boarding and she killed it. Seriously, if you get the chance to go paddle boarding, DO IT! Feral is located right on the beach and offers rentals for paddle boards and other beach activities, including kiteboarding and kayaking (see the full list here) and their latest venture is offering flyboarding. I don’t want to spoil the surprise for you, so you’ll have to check out their website to see what this is (it looks AWESOME!!!
And can we give those sunnies some love?! Proof Eyewear makes some pretty sweet styles and we had a hard time picking (Piya is showing off the McCall Wood shades in Mahogany and I’m wearing the Ontario Eco pair in Crystal Kush– both have polarized lenses). Not only does this company offer up some pretty great eyewear that’s made from eco- friendly/ sustainable materials, they give back to worthy causes both local to their home of Idaho and globally (you can check out more info about them and all the collaborators at the end of this post). If you want to pick up a pair locally, take a drive to White Rock and check out the selection Piya has in stock at her shop.

Proof Eyewear
3 brothers started Proof in 2010 after one of them tried to make a bamboo ski pole in his garage. When that didn’t work, the idea morphed into creating other products from wood (their Grandfather, Bud, opened a sawmill in 1954) and the business has grown from there. The goal remains to offer handcrafted products made from sustainable materials such as FSC- certified wood, and repurposed skateboards. Proof’s eco- friendly products can now be found in more than 20 countries with a portion of profits going to their Do Good Program which helps those in need everywhere from their local home of Idaho to efforts around the world.
