About Me

the DSSC is waaayyyyy stoked on our new hook-up from Malikai Clothing Co. all their clothing is anti-sweatshop and earth-friendly. it's all made in the U.S. with 100% natural fibers (organic when possible) and uses a printing process that doesn't put out all the nastiness of traditional silkscreen printing. so the DSSC would like to give a big high-five to Malikai. the grooviness of their clothes speaks for itself, but they go the extra mile to show us all that there's a better way to make awesome clothes. and that's just....awesome.

My Interests

Malikai Clothing Co. -- check it.

surfing, longboarding, surfboard design and construction

we all have the power to change the world. some say that one person can't make a difference, that the world's too big, or just too messed up....

but the only thing those people really need is a better point of view. so drag 'em around to the other side, and show 'em how things can change once you just gain a little perspective....

I'd like to meet:

people who surf (well)

Music:
