Introduction

Dan Single and George Gorrow gather the Ksubi team in their Sydney studio late one Sunday evening for a creative session. The ideas were endless, with many possible scenarios not reaching fulfilment as the light of Monday morning begins to creep in along with the need to start business as usual.

We were living in Narrabeen, a small town on the northern beaches of Sydney — a kind of town that isn’t really a destination other than for some good waves. For me, it was more of a place on the way to somewhere else, nothing really to do other than what you created. We had a bunch of buddies all living within three blocks of each other, all either painters, writers, photographers, filmmakers, graphic designers, dope smokers, drunks or, of course, surfers. Together we entertained ourselves, kind of pushing and inspiring each other. It was our little bubble of action.
