Who We Are
We are two friends who have always lived an active lifestyle. One, a lover of the sea and a skilled diver who has logged in a hundred dives all over the archipelago; the other, a well rounded athlete – mountain biker, triathlete, runner, field hockey, volleyball and football player.
Way back in 2007 we both noticed that there weren’t many options for quality and good looking BUT affordable rashguards. Living in the Philippines, known for a lot of its pristine beaches, we thought it was a great idea to fill in this gap.
We knew that we could not rely solely on athletic experience to manufacture a product. It was a big advantage that one of us worked within a family that has been in the fabric trade business since the 60’s. Fusing athleticism and fabric expertise, we then set our sights on production by 2008.
What We Made and Where We Are Now
The quality of the rashguards we made did not only make the beach goers or water sports enthusiasts happy. We also had the opportunity to supply hard core divers, national team wind surfers, grapplers, paralympians and at some point even the Philippine navy.
But as tides change and wines age or maybe simply because we have aged, new interests ushered us to new endeavors. A year and a half after establishing the brand, we fell in love with cycling – both on and off road. With the same formula - our passion, cycling experience and fabric expertise propelled us to produce our very first cycling jerseys by 2009 and went purely online by year 2020.
These days, in staying true to being able to help in our community in ways that are beneficial to our Futsal and Football grassroots, we provided 10 Futsal balls for the Rizal United Football Club for their training.
