RAKE CLOTHING [25.10.2009] Category: Surf clothing

KNOTT YOUR EVERYDAY SURF BRAND

Put together by the artistic Adrian Knott, RAKE clothing is all about being 'fresh' not following the herd. What stood out straight away about RAKE was the label has a very unique look and feel in mens surf clothing, and it's Australian.

Knott mixes a style of folk and sailor tattoo art bringing a fresh face to the apparel market. Another thing Knott does is keep colours plain and simple, letting the designs stand out from the crowd.



Recently Knott has started up a new 'art series' collaboration with the first drop working with Ryan Tatar, an amazing lifestyle surf photographer.

"Ryan is a surfer and self taught photographer who attempts to capture his take on the essence of surf culture with various abstractions and cross processed photographs taken along the coastline.  From rusty cars and taco stands, to single fins and sunsets, Ryan is a renowned visual artist, and his work has been displayed at various venues and shows from California to Brazil and Japan.  He runs a popular surf culture blog entitled Shakas and Singlefins focusing on more artistic endeavors around the ocean." - Rake clothing

Another appealing feature of RAKE clothing is you wont find this gear in every store, actually they're very select with whom they align with. You can check out their retailers list after the jump below.


As well as apparel these guys have put their brand onto a sweet foam sled that you can read all about here. Knott knows style, and we're sure RAKE will continue to drop ill threads well into the future.

The Rake website is a pretty cool little creation with some funky stories, photo's and artwork dropping time to time.

• RIP CURL TRESTLES OCEANSEARCH [09.Nov.2009] Category: Surf watches

  

  The Rip Curl 'Trestles Oceansearch' is definitely one of the best tide watches I've reviewed to date based on look, design and ease of use. While you might not use the ATS and Spot X functions daily, they are a great tool when travelling. You can now have very accurate tide data for ANY beach around the globe.
