About Jigsaw Surf Co.:

The founders, driven by a shared passion for surfing and a desire for a mentally stimulating yet therapeutic activity, stumbled upon the idea during a rainy day coffee session. Originating from Asberry, NY, with a love for surfing and a family background in puzzle manufacturing, they envisioned a unique decline design, shaping their puzzles like surfboards. Jigsaw Surf Co. was born, offering enthusiasts a chance to infuse "stoke" into their puzzling experience.
