Kerry Docherty: 我丈夫Alex和他的双胞胎兄弟Mike从小在泽西海岸长大，一直梦想创建一个高档的生活方式冲浪品牌。Mike甚至在大学论文中就写了关于创立这个品牌。我在大学第一天认识了Alex，后来我成为了律师，专注于人权和社会正义。Alex进入了私募股权行业，Mike在Ralph Lauren工作了10年。2012年，在我们结婚三周后，我们搬去和他哥哥住，六个月后，我们都辞掉了工作来创立这个品牌。这真是一个家族企业，兄弟俩的母亲是一名室内设计师，她装饰了我们所有的商店。Mike是创意总监，Alex是首席执行官，我是首席影响力官。我们每个人只有四分之一的大脑，但我们一起是法拉第船长，能够同时处理很多事情，这是企业成功的关键。
