Fresh Kicks


Bucketfeet make shoes that are super original and unbelievably comfortable at a very affordable price. They hand-selected artists to create exciting designs that are extremely versatile. Our product quality is top notch and they are truly at the forefront of design. 
Through artistic collaboration, Bucketfeet gives artists a platform to connect with people and showcase their work in a new way. This is why the brand was started, and this is the central focus. They give back to artists by purchasing their work, and paying them royalties for every pair of shoes sold. It doesn't stop there. They also support kids through programs in art, music, and sports. The Founders, Aaron and Raaja, met volunteering with kids, and they are committed to staying true to the story of the brand. With every purchase, they donate a  percentage of sales to our non-profit partners. Drop in and scoop yours! And in case you're wondering, they don't just look good, they are perfect for skating...

Surf Junkie

 

Our friend Kevin Butler has an art show coming up on August 25th in Culver City, CA. His art prints are whimsical drawings of rad cars with rad surfboards on them, pretty cool huh??? Playful and fun are the two words I most use to describe his work. I love the way his drawings reflect the personality of their owners. 


We were fortunate to snag a limited number of his prints so reach out if you would like one. Only 5 available! 



Kevin is also the first-ever winner of our Sick Pic contest. We had loads of great entries but we had to give it to a guy who charges head + hollow beach break on a doyle and makes it!!! So, if you're near Culver City on August 25th be sure to go to Kevin's art show, and if you can't make the show come here to grab one of his prints and be sure to check out his blog rad cars with rad surfboards on them

Archival Clothing


New in the shop Archival Clothing Sweat Shirt and Rucksack: As Summer slips by my mind turns to Fall. With those cool September Sessions in mind we are proud to introduce Archival Clothing to the RW+SS family. The Archival Clothing Sweatshirt is made of a stout 8-9 oz cotton loop-back French Terry, with a rib V insert at the neck. It's a great layering piece for fall, winter, and spring, and cozy thrown over a T-shirt on a cool summer evening.


Includes chain-stitching on the neck tape and waist ribbing. Double-cover stitching along the sleeves and body creates an extremely comfortable and durable seam which lies flat to the garment. Fit is on the slim side of regular. Made in Oregon by a great partner who has been making sturdy cotton garments since 1921.

Surfboard Design And Construction by James Kinstle

Mr. James Kinstle crafted one of the most comprehensive manuals ever written on surfboard design and construction. It's been out of print for ages which makes it worth it's weight in gold. This rare gem is truly a must have for the complete surf library. It's filled with excellent diagrams of planing shapes and types of waves. If you plan to build a board or just want to know more about board hydrodynamics this is indispensable reading. It's purely brilliant. We only have one copy so if you need it call or email us. 


Price: $99

The Mechanic's Daughter x Rogue Wave











For the past 9 months I have had an amazing intern by the name of Ms. Monique "Mo" Araujo, aka The Mechanic's Daughter. Mo has helped with the inception and execution of numerous projects and events here at the shop and has been a huge asset to Rogue Wave to say the least. Next month she will graduate from The Art Institute of Charleston with her BA in Fashion and Retail Management and we are so happy for her to begin a new chapter in her creative journey. In honor of Mo, we wanted to show off some amazing pieces that she has produced for us. If you are familiar with Rogue Wave you know that we have a penchant for American work wear. As we began to collect VTG pieces and re-invision them with the Rogue Wave touch, Mo was the natural choice to make our vision a reality. Here are some sneak peeks of what we have in the shop. Each piece if one of a kind so please let us know if you would like one. Congratulations Mo, we love you!!!
