Hands down Surf N Wears Beach House in Santa Barbara, CA is one of the best and most beautiful retail stores on the planet. When I was a teenager I used to deliver surf wax to Roger’s original location so today was like a full circle moment. To be invited into Rogers office was so special and I was even able to purchase a few gems from his personal collection. Thanks to my friend Kim Robinson who I’ve know for 40 years for setting it up and for letting go of a few classics himself. Kim used to work for Powell Peralta and it was really cool to reconnect with both Roger & Kim. I consider these Gents among the coolest elder statesman of the surf and skate culture all of us live and breathe.
