Spinning

Doesn’t matter where you live, what you do, we reckon this’ll get the wheels spinning. Beautiful work Project Yosemite, music: M83, track: outro – we loved it, the workshop is spinning, the fleeces are fresh in, flying out and getting people outside – stoked!

copping out?

Often shot from the water, tow teams on the shoulder and the boys waiting in between sets, Shipsterns has opened the eyes of many. A solid North Coast winter swell can spike the emotions of most, you get anxious, you stare at it, you see a few guy take some sets on the head and [...]

he’s kind of good

We met Tom Wegener a couple years back, we shook hands, he talked us through the boards, his shaping process, the craftsmanship. When we parted ways and said good bye, it kind of felt like we were going through some native american trade ritual, where we both came bearing gifts. Us with one of our [...]

…the big trees were kings

When we started Finisterre, we did it to make cold water surf spots more accessible and to do that with product that was beautifully crafted and had the environment at its heart. As we’ve grown, so has our reach and although the growth is exciting, it can be a difficult thing to wield. However exciting [...]

We’re idiots

Why’s the Pruga so warm? Compared to our SDS system, used in our Etobicoke and Sastruga – our Pruga utilises a technology never used before, a new and exclusive insulation innovation driving weight and warmth to the forefront. Why’s the Pruga so warm? The Pruga’s secret, lies in its construction, it incorporates our double decker [...]

what are you proud of?

What’s the winter jacket your most proud of Debbie? The Sastruga represents for me a journey from throw-away fashion to a simple and chic solution against the cold. I am proud to be seen walking along the coastal path on a blustery, frosty day snuggled up in my winter white Sastruga. When friends come down [...]

When will your last wave be?

How good has this autumn been for waves? Best in a while I’d have said. Back to back cross-offshores and long distance groundswells – Atlantic facing coasts have been doing their thing – hope you’ve had a fill somewhere along the way. So a few Saturdays ago I stopped off to see Ben, our old [...]

travel done beautifully

Everything started for Millican back in the early 90′s, on the boarder of Ecuador and Peru. Two people took some time off to rediscover what they loved – the great outdoors, the environment, exploring, vintage travel items and just slowing life down a bit – finding some pace. So in the summer 2008, with help [...]

getting lost

We don’t like to use his name and he doesn’t like when we do, kind of annoying – but who really cares, because the guy is bloody rad. He’s a pioneer of ours, he goes on some epic trips all over the world, sails, eats fruit and charges when it gets big. He sent us [...]

Get busy living

We see stuff all the time, whether it be a picture, a film, a person or a thing. Sometimes we see them and we forget about them, sometimes we see them and act on them and other times we see them and they make us feel something. We got in touch with Andrew, we loved [...]
