Oahu Skate Blue
Description
Oahu. Where the Pacific meets the mountain. 125 miles of coastline. Zero straight lines.
Blue wood all the way through, layered and pressed for strength, then shaped by hand. You can see the layers in the edge of every arm.
Cut slightly narrower than the usual square frame, for the person who always found that shape a touch too wide. Same confidence. Better fit.
Polarised lenses. UV400 protection. Cat.3 filter for equatorial sun.
Born in Africa.

Care
Home is the case
Keep them in their case when they’re not on your face.
Not the back pocket
The fastest way to sit on them.
Rinse after the sea
Salt, sand and sunscreen dull the finish. Fresh water, then dry.
Not with your shirt
A shirt hem scratches. Use a microfibre cloth.
Two hands on, two off
The hinges last longer.
Don’t bend to fit
Wood cracks before it gives.
Hang ’em on the indicator
When the sun sets. A rally driver’s trick: easy to find, never scratched, never sat on.
Out of reach
Dogs and toddlers both think they’re toys.
Always wear them on a first date. You’ll do awesome.
