Shortstraw is an art based surf wear brand that has been built on the joy of foam dancing in all its manifestations. From the colourful foam mowers to the soulful skeg flexers to the rich culture that surrounds the humble surf craft beneath our feet. Shortstraw looks back with great fondness to pre war Hawaii and its original innovators, California in the 50's and 60's with its smooth stylemasters, the wild trailblazers of Australia in the late 60's and 70's to the present free thinking watermen that embody a new time of openness, reverence and genuine stoke for difference and variety. Shortstraw offers a refreshing but less traveled approach to the surf wear market with its finely tuned shorter trunks, custom painted yardage patterns and quirky surf speak, all conceived by a crew that favours the glide above all else. Shortstraw honors the following luminaries for their knowledge, innovation, belief and inspiration: David Nuuhiwa, Tom Blake, Miki Dora , The Duke, Skip Frye , Gerry Lopez , Buttons, Larry B, Tom Curren, MR , Rabbit B , Rob Machado, Joel Tudor, Shane Herring, Derek Hynd, Wayne Lynch, Donny Frankenwreiter, Tyler Hatzikian Thomas Campbell, Albie Falzon, Andrew Kidman and many more.
