Made for Enjoyment is a journal pillared on depth and authenticity within the community of surfing. Storytelling through surfboards and interaction. Focused on the process, opposing unnecessary obsession of the end goal.

Founded and run by Ashton Pickle (myself). I am a surfboard shaper under my brand AH Vessels. I've realized a journal is the only way to get extended thoughts down for others if they care to read. I’ve always loved writing, but I often lose my handwritings over time. This has become a project just as much for myself as I’ll have the opportunity to see the progression of my thoughts over time. Combined with a space to include others’ ideas so I can continue to learn and avoid getting wrapped in isolated opinion.

Create and enjoy.
