Ma's of Lordtown
Ma's of lordtown
Seaside towns with rolling waves are usually dominated by your average surfer dude, confidently roaming the beaches and parking lots in sweaty packs of other lords. But not in this town. A beach town where for every man there are eight women, this paradise is dominated by women. Mermaids, gurfs, shred sistas, gromlinesses and Wahinis call the shots in these waves. And in this feminine nirvana you can find a special sort of shredder. A very rare and unique kind of woman of the sea. The Ma. She's endlessly sweet and take care of her own, but remember to look left in the waves because you might be poked by ten smiling toes on the nose coming at you quick outa nowhere. She's a wise woman stuck in a forever five year old girls body who just got her first skateboard. She's a burning smile and a warming hug. Atmosea has been dressing the Ma's since the start and now they finally have the perfect uniform to embody their loving sillyness. A towelly short to wipe the sweat of your face and tears off your mate post wipe-out. A red rocket to wear to be equally radical and equally soft.
