letter from the owner
since i first visited the island of oahu i knew it was a magical place. The land was the most beautiful I had ever seen. The coast was lined with healthy vegitation and sand of the beaches was soft beneath your feet. The ocean pulled inward and began to rise to unforgettable heights. The waves were much larger then I had ever experienced. They truly demanded respect. Just as this one particular wave folded over itself a long haired board rider cruised out. He seemed stoked on emotion as a the wave collapsed right behind him. He rode out the wave, cutting back and forth in the mid day sun. The ride seemed over idealized, but it was the observed reality.
The perfection seemed effortless. Surfers humble qualities are ones I could relate with; being from Kansas City, an underrated midwest town, we were fundamentally taught to remain genuine and humble. This is why I thought regaurdless of geographic limitations the cultural transplant would resonate well.

Vans started as a California skateboarding shoes company but quickly adapted to multiple markets of “extremeΩ sports” such as surfing and snowboarding. Their products are distributed world wide and fail to align with the historical values of the surfing culture. The organic appeal be-tween surfing and skateboarding is what vans can be attributed to most of the brands success.
Saturday Surf is a New York based surfing brand, which pro-vides hard goods like surfboards and wet suits to east coast based surfers. But it is a brand based in opulence.All of their clothing is marked up to a price much higher than its original production value.Their brand characteristics are rooted in east coast values of classicism and respectability. The distribution of their products is limited to small upscaleboutiques nation wide.

John Thatcher
Harvesting surfing culture in the midwest, may seem like a daunting task, but try telling that to John Thatcher, the 26 year old Kansas City native, who was the first to get seduced by the waves of Wiamea. When he returned from his first trip he easily convinced his two bud-dies to return with him, promising they wouldn’t need jobs and could live off the land while surfing everyday.
The three were quickly adopted by the locals because of their re-spectful approach to learning the way of the surf. Day after day in the Hawaiian sun, they rode with the water.
After a year and a half of waking up to the crash of waves, the three transplanted surfers, realised their new found lives need to be shared. They needed to share their new appriciations of life.
in 2010, Tom Hallton, William Gordon, and John Thacter combined to create Land Locked Surf Supply Co. The three grew up skateboarding around Kansas City and have been best friends for over ten years.
By manufacturing and distributing genuine surf goods,we can celebrate the surf.
