MAINE

For fans of elevated summer camp vibes and cozy-cabined Americana.

Favorite thing about Maine I love how peaceful Maine is and that there are so many different landscapes easily accessible throughout the state. Hidden Pond is especially amazing because it feels so secluded and quiet, but you’re able to get to Kennebunkport so quickly or visit the beach. The natural beauty of the state is unrivaled and offers endless options when you’re up there. What does a typical day here look like I like to wake up and have a cup of coffee on the porch while taking in the sounds of the woods. Then I’ll drive into Kennebunkport forbreakfast at H.B. Provisions and walk around town. Depending on the time of the year, I’ll usually go to the beach or maybe drive up to Portland for the day. Sometimes, I’ll hit some of the local design studios, like Corey Daniels gallery in Wells, to get inspiration for my next project. Local experiences/

adventures worthy of note Most people don’t know about this, but L.L.Bean actually offers outdoor adventure programs outside of Freeport. You can do archery, clay pigeon shooting, kayaking, and more. It’s a great way to explore the state and spend some time outdoors. What to pack Maine in the summer is one of those places where swimwear and sweaters go hand-in-hand. I think it’s important to have layers just in case the weather changes throughout the day. I would pack a pair of Todd Snyder Montauk Swim Trunks and throw in one of our classic Pocket Sweatshirts or Italian Cashmere Crewnecks in case you need it. I also always bring a casual blazer for nicer dinners if you make a reservation at Earth. Best places for a drink I love going toBatson Riverin Kennebunk for a drink, especially my favorite cocktail, the Dark & Stormy. Their liquor is local and they can mix an amazing cocktail. Favorite place to dine If you’re not dining atEarth, the amazing restaurant at Hidden Pond, I likeThe Tides Beach Club. It’s right on the water of Goose Rocks Beach and they have some of the freshest

seafood in town. Place/activity that really embraces local flare Snug Harbor Farm is a fun place to visit and walking through their greenhouses is a really pleasant way to pass some time. We worked with them to get some greenery into the From Away Lodge, and it was always such a treat to visit. Favorite local shop Sea Love candlesis a great shop in town that has simple home accessories and unique scents that will make you feel like you never left.

Best souvenirs to bring back If you haven’t already bought items from Sea Love, a special plant from Snug Harbor, or some local art, I would recommend selecting a bottle or two from Batson River Distillery. When you’re home, you can mix yourself a cocktail and, just like that, feel like you’re back in Maine.

Lift Foils, the company behind the original electric hydrofoil, has released the new LIFT3 F, a line that introduces a proprietary fiberglass blend in two new sizes and features two battery choices, with the full range hitting 100 minutes of ride time. The result is the most stable and user-friendly eFoil made to date. “There’s a certain serenity in getting up and flying over the water,” explains Nick Leason, Lift Foils’ founder, who is also an engineer and a devoted surfer. “The access to power creates a smooth, linear — almost intuitive — response from the body.” Locals can try the LIFT3 F at Lift Foils’ partner retailers across the tri-county area. Those without surfing experience need not worry; instructors take riders through the step-by-step of mounting and riding the boards on calm waters. “A lot of people might think ‘it’s too hard for me to do,’ but I can assure them that I can get them out in 15-20 minutes,” adds Leason. “The idea of getting over the water is more like yoga than surfing. It’s about breathing and relaxing.” BY LIANA LOZADA
