Several of our paddleboard designs by Jeremy Kennedy are on display in this years lineup of inflatable and hardboards for Yoloboard. This year features some throwback designs that were made with pen and ink, watercolor and vector based graphics. It’s always fun to see your work on such a big canvas.

Some of my paddleboard designs and packaging designs for Yoloboard/YoloCoffee were featured in Beach Happy Magazine’s Spring 2021 issue in an article on our friend Jake Meyer of IWDFF. Jake’s been Yoloboard’s Creative Director for 13 years and he designs a lot of work for restaurants and businesses all along 30A/gulf coast area. I’ve known Jake probably around 20 years, but first worked together back in 2013 when he brought me in for hand drawn logos and the first of many board designs. In the years since, we’ve designed many best-selling boards for Yoloboard brand. So cool to see Jake’s other hard work featured along side some of my own. -Jeremy Kennedy

New Packaging for Yolo Coffee

In 2020, we were excited to tag team with IWDFF on Yolo Coffee’s new coffee bags. We used vintage travel posters and gulf coast sunrises as the main inspiration. Then, we focused on a classic Toyota Landcruiser decked out in Yoloboards surrounded by palm trees specific to the 30a area of the northern Florida Gulf coast.

Instead of different bags for each of the different roasts we decided on a label system to delineate the alternate roasts so that they each bag would feature the same artwork. Jake came up with the label while we focused on making the sweet land cruiser and adding other fun 30a details and a painterly touch. The three roasts they’re making right now are the SUP blend, the Sonder Blend and a Tanzanian Roast.

On the back of the bags I thought it would be fun to feature the owner of Yoloboard who has a huge passion for coffee. He’s seen below padding with his favorite pup Flea.

In addition to the illustration we were able to create a fun lockup of Yolo’s tagline “You only live once” in our signature hand drawn style with their yolo coffee man. We added it on the sides of the bags and they also used it on their website yolocoffee.com.

Limited Edition Tribute Packaging for OneNation Coffee

As first responders and Veterans the crew at OneNation Coffee wanted 9-12 blended roast as a tribute to first responders and patriotic Americans who all came together after 9-11-01. The special blend boasts a smooth full body taste of a medium-dark blend, but mixed from multiple roasts to make one united tribute blend.

It’s always cool to see your art out in the world. This week our friend Amanda Bruno of Longislandvibes was featured on the SupConnect website’s weekly roundup as the Photo of the Week and she happened to have our Serenity paddle design along for the ride.

It’s always fun to see one of our designs on the water. While we can't speak german, it still looks like the SUPTRIP crew had a good time on the Yolo Serenity!

NEW 2020 BOARDS AVAILABLE NOW

We’ve done a ton of board designs for Yoloboard over the years. This year we helped created a traveling photo op board called wings and freshened up a few old designs like the Honu Turtle and gave the crazy polynesian tattoo-inspired design a new color. Serenity comes back again with a large Yoga pad and a new blue bottom.

This year we also had a chance to collaborate with IWDFF on a new edgier mermaid design. We gave her a bit of Aquamanesque edge and more oodles of doodles that finally found their way to the rails.. check it out below.
