Originally owned by a “core” surfer, Bob Hurley, but was later sold to Nike. They still got a pass with some surfers because they made decent wetsuits and sponsored top surfers. Nike sold off the brand very recently and started cutting staff and sponsorships. The rumor is they’ll now start schilling their stuff in low budget retailers. Surfers have quickly jumped ship now that any semblance of being a “real” surf brand is gone.
>...And, of course, we all know about Hurley by now
No I don’t. I even had to search myself and still don’t know. Just tell the reader, we don’t all follow surfer/skate news.
What happened to Hurley? They closing shop?
