We're proud to release our latest collaboration with LA-based artist, Nathan Kostechko! A respected artist both in his LA-based tattoo parlor, Nathan's Lounge, and art gallery walls around the globe, Nathan Kostechko's work translates seamlessly from tattoo machines to charcoal, acrylic and crayon. A product of his upbringing, having grown up in the surf mecca of San Clemente, Ca, Kostechko's refined style blends his Pacific Ocean influences with a steady hand that's allowed him to infiltrate parlors and galleries the world over. To celebrate the release, we're stoked to be giving away an original piece that Nathan created while we visited him in studio!

Just Add Agua | The Spring '25 Collection Our Spring '25 trip found us in Central America, frothing on the warm, howling offshore barrels and beach breaks that Nicaragua seems to manufacture like a damn factory. The crew was rad, too:?Derrick Disney,?Eric Geiselman?&?Noa Mizuno, riding all sorts of shapes and fin setups. EG ended up taking a fin to the side of the head, but after a quick stitch up found himself back in the lineup with the boys... We hope you enjoy our new collection as much as we do. Check out the short film and all the goods: https://lnkd.in/g_cnJRhg

Once a year we gather up all our Creators and bring ‘em to an undisclosed location somewhere off the grid for a week of collaboration, innovation, art, music, and of course, plenty of surfing. This year was no different, save for getting our hands on a few of Miki Dora’s personal boards. The two logs served as the catalyst for shaping inspiration, after all, we were camped in the hills surrounding his home break: First Point. What transpired over the week was raw, creative freedom amongst a group of friends that are very rarely all in the same zip code, let alone the same shaping bay and makeshift laminating tent. We present to you The Creators Gathering: Malibu. We hope you enjoy it. https://lnkd.in/gQjT6X-p ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Our Creators Gathering took place in early 2024 around the Malibu zone. While the community and friends that showed us so much hospitality are still reeling and healing from the recent devastating fires, we want to recognize the severity of the disaster that has stricken such a special place. In light of this, we are committed to donating a portion of proceeds from all sales on our site to?LAFD?Foundation during our film’s debut: 1/16 – 1/19.?You can also donate on your own here:?https://supportlafd.org/ Filmed & Edited:?Brian Elliott Original Music:?Leo Theory Water Footage:??Jack Coleman Executive Producers: Paul Naude & Vince De La Pena Art Direction: Aaron Regan Project Manager: Max C. & Corey Brindley Supported By:??YETI??& US Blanks (surfboards) Special Thanks: Jeremy Black, Luiza Florence Black, Skyhorse,?Evan Marks & The Ecology Center

The Stoke Exchange. It's our wetsuit recycling & trade-in program that we've been running for the better part of a decade. In conjunction with The Surfrider Foundation & Lava Rubber, we'll take any old wetsuit you've got laying around and upcycle them into new recycled goods like yoga mats, changing mats and sandals. In exchange, we'll give you a credit up to $30 off a new suit, good to use when you need it We know the importance of keeping wetsuits out of landfills and want to make it as easy as possible on ya. Stop into your local Vissla or Stoke House shop to drop off in person, or send those old suits to us in the mail and we'll get you sorted. For all the details, check the link here. Let's all do our part to contribute to a healthier planet, and a less crowded landfill. https://lnkd.in/gxaj6UuQ
