Daaaayyyyuuuummm, Son

You can’t see around corners. 

In times past, it would’ve been inconceivable that surfing’s adoption would become so widespread. So Olympics and Superbowl-playoffs. So balance board and ‘like and subscribe’. So hobbyist and wavepool bros.

Where’s my washed up draft dodgers in smoke-filled combis @?

There’s no single caricature that could accurately convey what a ‘surfer looks like’ in late 2022 without touching the electric fence of cultural cringe. Full fool’s errand. Those who get surfing don’t need to be told what it is. It’s unspoken. And on any given day, it could be a dishwasher, tradie, artist or dole-bluging degenerate blowing your mind with rail surfing resembling scissors through gift wrap. 

We can all relate to having made a split-second judgment about someone’s ability (or lack thereof) on a surfboard, only to be sorely mistaken seconds later. 

The Stab x Quik range is a 10-piece line of apparel characterized by premium comfort and minimalism for those who get it. It’s an expansion on the ‘Mongrel Mike’ and ‘Objects of Desire’ collaborations of years past that includes boardshorts, tees, hoodies, crews, tracksuits and more. 

There’s a tangible bit of street-influence going on, but mostly it’s just well-made, non-noisy apparel that you’d wear everyday. 

Sus the range here.
