Bob Gnarly Surf Retro Circle T-Shirt

The Bob Gnarly Surf Retro Circle T-Shirt takes inspiration from the bold, colourful graphics of classic surf culture, psychedelic artwork and the laid-back spirit of 60s and 70s beach life.

At the centre is the Bob Gnarly Surf circular graphic, with chunky retro lettering and a Rasta-inspired combination of red, yellow and green. We've deliberately given the print a faded, distressed finish, so it looks like a favourite surf tee you've had for years rather than something fresh off the printing press.

It's got that proper old-school surf-shop vibe – relaxed, colourful and a little bit gnarly.

Wear it after a surf, down the beach, at the skatepark or just kicking around town. Basically, anywhere you don't take yourself too seriously.
