The Dirtbag Diaries

When Doug Barclift decided to start a business, he headed to an untraditional spot to buy his real estate-- a junkyard. There he found the school bus, wedged between a trailer and a stack of cars, that he would transform into his own paddleboard company. And when a pandemic, civil unrest, and forest fires all threatened to thwart him, Doug kept paddling out to stay positive in a difficult year.  And friends and previous contributors share their goals to keep you dreaming and scheming, even when it feels like we’re just trying to get through another year.
