We Ride
It all begin with love. A love of the ocean that called us by our name…From different pockets of the world we find each other on the concrete sands of New York City. Nigel set it off with opening Station Surf Shop, a hub that ushered in a new generation of an aquatic tribe.

I would set sail on the subway to embark on a journey to uncover a lost treasure. Station surf shop was the map where gems would appear and the sand met pavement . Magic was felt as something was brewing in the air and unfamiliar faces became friendly faces. Roots begin to intertwine with these gems and what was lost was being found.
