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!

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 [...]

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 [...]

You’re on dude…

“Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.” George Washington was a pretty smart dude and if what he says is true, then Mr Bowthorpe has every bit of our confidence. He cycled around the world, paddled the Thames in a boat [...]

Falling in love…

She may have dive records and started ocean conservation trusts, but these aren’t the reasons why people dig her and they’re not the reasons that allow her to do what she does. It’s something much more unquantifiable than that, Hanli Prinsloo is all heart, everyday, 24hrs a day. Below is a little piece on her [...]

The winter prep

Winter swells are going to start pumping soon. Big wave surfers all over the world are packing their stuff, putting their houses up for rent, so they and family can move to the North Shore of Hawaii for the winter. Once they arrive, it’s lean diets, big training sessions and sizing up their tow set-ups. [...]
