Ahhhhh…the iconic images of surfing in Southern California: waves, sand, woody wagons, bikinis, surfboards, wetsuits, bonfires, parties on the beach, and palm trees. It all sounds like classic SoCal Surf. But these images actually represent 2 distinct views of surfing. The first is the more “reality based” side of surfing – skill, practice, sports, and competitions. The other side is more “fantasy based” - think Frankie and Annette movies and the Beach Boys. Whichever way you look at SoCal Surf Culture, it’s certain to include fun and sun!
This classic striped beanie design was inspired by the surf culture of the 50s and 60s. Following a ribbing in the color of sand, a rectangular pattern like the panels of a woody wagon comes next. Various widths of stripes inspired by the desaturated colors of vintage surfboards complete the look.
