Dedicated to imaginative art & innovative design, we are a clothing brand from Santa Cruz, Ca
The origin of TAC dates back over two decades ago when a group of groms became buddies down at Seabright Beach (aka Third Ave Beach in Santa Cruz, Ca). Growing up on third ave and in the area got us into skating, skimboarding, surfing, and just about anything else that incorporates a board. Inspired by our heroes, and driven by a desire to continually push the limits, we prided ourselves on our aggressive style (surf, skate, skim, snow, wake, dirt, whatever...) and general ridiculousness.
Recognizing the unique nature of our break and the friendships that it made possible, Ben K. put pen to paper and tried to capture the spirit of those early days, and propel that spirit forward. Today we are stoked to have so many talented artists and riders contributing to this unique project! We can't wait to see what the future has in store.
