Craig Steely Architecture "Firm of the Year" by Residential Architect Magazine

I am blessed to be rolling roundwalls with a handful of people that are awesome both on and off the board. Some make art while others trade wine by day as brokers. One of the guys I'm lucky to ride with once in a while just got announced as the, "Firm of the Year' by Residential Architect Magazine. You can find Craig Steely with his son, Zane at various parks around the bay where there are good vibes and concrete waves. Congratulations, Craig! See you, OCE!

Falcon Bowse T-Shirt Transformation Program KICKSTARTER

Falcon Bowse is not only a brand but since conception, they've strived to work hand-in-hand with other skateboarders and independently owned brands/stores. Falcon Bowse offers small quantity custom orders with no minimums, a service most manufactures refuse. Offering a reasonable alternative to small business owners and start-ups who just can't afford a 1000 piece minimum order that some factories, even in the U.S. require. This could be directly contributing to our dependence on less expensive overseas manufacturing. It seems funny to talk about these things in regards to just making a few hats or shirts but they believe that these are just one of many fundamental steps in the right direction. They're goal for Falcon Bowse is to be synominous with superior quality, made in the U.S.A. and with fair and green practices. Whether it's one of they're pieces or one of they're collaborating brands, you can trust that it was hand-made in a sustainable manner, one at time with passion and the utmost regard for style, quality and affordability.
