A Few Notes From A Trip That Shaped This Summer’s Collection

If I'm being honest, the Philippines wasn't on the list. But that's kind of how it works with Roark. Hey there, If I'm being honest, the Philippines wasn't on the list. But that's kind of how it works with Roark — the best trips find you sideways, through a rumor overheard, or in this case, an artist and a few guides that had a story to tell. We went to surf, climb, run, and test the product we'd been building under fluorescent lights and best-case scenarios. The Philippines had other plans. Humidity that turned chalk to paste. Jungle single track you couldn't see ten feet into. Swells that bobbed and weaved for days before they connected. Everything we brought either earned its place or got left behind. This Summer Collection is what came out the other side. The Passage Boardshorts are back in a few colors, but I’m surfing in the monstera inspired print — a nod to the flora that was everywhere, on everything. "The Beats Of Discovery" inspired a rad graphic language throughout, especially on the Bless Up , Bommer and Mathis silhouettes. Women’s is ready for the road with a sick new embroidered Costa Shirt and "Don't Destroy What You Enjoy" T-Shirt. There’s much more to come, look out for a Filipino artist collab that channels the color and soul of the islands in a way we never could from the outside. Cheers, Ryan, Founder

Hey there,

If I'm being honest, the Philippines wasn't on the list. But that's kind of how it works with Roark — the best trips find you sideways, through a rumor overheard, or in this case, an artist and a few guides that had a story to tell.
