Stolen Girlfriend's Club designer/co-founder Marc Moore learnt to surf in 1984 when his mother moved to Raglan for a bit of a lifestyle change. "I was a kid that was wearing Stubbies so the surf thing was pretty exciting for me! It didn’t take me long to fall in love with the ocean. I won quite a few of the Raglan boardriders events and most years would finish in the top 10 New Zealand rankings. My best national results were 3rd and 4th place. "When I was on the T & C New Zealand surf team the boss really liked my aesthetic and asked for my input in their collections. These board shorts were the first garment I ever designed. Surfing has kept me so humble throughout the invention and rise of our brand. It always keeps me level-headed and a great escape when things are getting a bit heavy. I owe a lot to surfing – the places I’ve travelled and people I’ve met and all the amazing experiences around my hometown of Raglan. I was a lucky bugger growing up there."
