Tom Blake Blueprint

We proudly pay homage to pioneering waterman Tom Blake’s legacy with an exclusive collection of graphic tees inspired by his remarkable accomplishments and enduring impact on the sport and culture of surfing. This tee features Tom Blake's original design for the Hollow Surfboard from 1926. This innovative blueprint transformed board building from heavy solid wood to lighter weight "performance" that could be created by any experienced craftsman. These plans appeared in the magazine Popular Mechanics so that anybody could make the board out of wood themselves, furthering the awareness of the popularity of surfing at the time. Crafted with soft and breathable Regenerative Organic Certified® cotton. This crew neck tee features our Outerknown label at the side seam.
