SHINOLA X NATAS KAUPAS CELEBRATE THE LAUNCH OF LIMITED EDITION SURFBOARDS.
(VENICE, CA – AUGUST 21st, 2018) In the secluded lot behind the brand’s Venice store, Shinola joined legendary skateboarder Natas Kaupas to celebrate the release of the limited-edition surfboards and towels designed exclusively for Shinola. Inspired by Venice’s Old West Washington Boulevard, the surfboard and towel collaboration marks Shinola’s third time partnering with Natas on a project of this magnitude.

Both friends of Shinola and Natas enjoyed the event, including Dogtown natives Jim Muir, Peggy Oki, and Skip Engblom, and Nathan Pratt. Refreshments were served by local establishments Gray Whale Gin and Venice born House Beer, with Hot Dog on a Stick providing snacks and other bites.
The crowd mingled with indie surf rock vinyl playing in the background. The night wrapped up with a fireside chat (literally, fireside!) between Natas and Jim Muir, Peggy Oki, and Skip Engblom reminiscing on the good ole days. Proceeds from the evening benefited Safe Place for Youth, a Venice charity that nurtures and empowers homeless youth.
