Fox
Fox

For more than 30 years, Fox has been an action sports leader in technical and trend-forging products and clothing. Fox is rooted in riding and obsessed with relentless innovation, taking cues from the championship-winning team of athletes: Ryan Dungey (MX), Blake "Bilko" Williams (FMX), Damien Hobgood (Surf), Ian Walsh (Surf), Scotty Cranmer (BMX), Chase Hawk (BMX), Rusty Malinoski (Wake), and Reed Hansen (Wakeskate), to name a few. It began with a passion for making the best motocross gear in the world, which continues today through each collection. That same passion and innovation has been applied to the sickest fits and fabrics in jeans, shirts, boardshorts, and goes across the entire line. Created with feedback from our elite team of athletes, Fox apparel and accessories are on trend, technical, and top quality.

Stussy
 

In 1980, Shawn Stussy was a local cult surfboard shaper who took his scrawled signature logo from his foam masterpieces and applied it to tee shirts that he sold along with his boards around Laguna Beach, California. As the clothing line expanded, it's raw and modern aesthetic soon developed into the next generation of new wave beach culture. With Stussy's success came the opportunity to travel and spread the Stussy vibe. We hooked up with trendsetters in New York, London, Tokyo and other areas of the world. Stussy clothing was inspired by this international group of musicians, skaters, DJs and artists with similar tastes, which helped to shape the brand into an international streetwear label. Today, Stussy exists as a brand with worldwide respect and independence. With over sixty stores across the globe and a very strong tribe still in effect, Stussy is a leader in the culture which we helped start over 30 years ago.

Us Versus Them
Us Versus Them

Us Versus Them was born in 2007 as an outlet for the creative ideas that were springing up out of the seminal Southern California boutique and art gallery, Versus. Combining the various artistic styles and cultural influences that flowed into the shop, designer Graham Nystrom created a visual language for UVT that had not yet been seen in other companies. Strong branding mixed with deep sociopolitical messages and a healthy dose of sarcasm set the brand apart. While speaking out against the exploitation of subcultures by the marketing industry, hypocrisy, ignorance, abuses of power and disenfranchisement, UVT promotes self empowerment, independent thought and respect to everyone. Coming from three distinct but interconnected backgrounds, co-owners James Banuelos, Mike Glory and Graham Nystrom spent their formative years existing in and contributing to these various realms. From the skate, cycling and surf scenes to the political, graffiti, street, music and art worlds to the resurgent motor culture, the name resonates with a carried respect and authenticity.

Hurley
 

"Hurley is a company based on inclusion", says chairman and founder Bob Hurley. This philosophy applied to Bob Hurley's early years as a Huntington Beach shaper, working with friends alongside the world's best athletes to make a better surfboard. It applied to the company's launch in 1999, when Hurley decided to start a brand that was a true microphone for youth. Inclusion remains a guiding principle of the company today, where innovative products like Phantom Boardshorts and game-changing events like the US Open of Surfing continue to redefine what is possible in our world. Hurley headquarters are in Costa Mesa, CA with international offices in Sydney, Tokyo, Barcelona and Bali.
