What a ride.

Picture of a man

In Honor of my grandfather, Col. Kenneth "Mac" MacKillop, on Veteran's Day.
He served in WWI and WWII, but was not a career soldier. He served only when duty called. After the Korean war he went back to civilian life as an accountant until he retired. He lived to be 80 years old.
He was overseas almost ten years of my fathers childhood.
He sacrificed a lot for his country.
He would never talk about it.

Oh Please!

OP used to be THE surfwear company in the '70's and '80's, sponsoring riders like Tom Curren and Kelly Slater.
Now they sell at Walmart exclusively, and "sponsor" "celebrities" who have no surfing affiliation at all.
Happenstance, or blueprint that too many brands are following these days?
"Surfwear" means nothing anymore...

Well done!

Very nice burn on Hollister, the bullshit "surf" company using one of our sacred spots as a marketing tool.
