Rake Clothing is an Australian led surf label under the artistic direction of Adrian Knott that brings a style not unlike that of The Critical Slide Society (which is why we like it) mixing a style of folk art with old sailor tattoo artwork. Nice work Rake.. check the web store for what we got.

Check out these mini simmons boards the rake guys have been working on as well. they look super sweet. I’m sold i like them a lot and want one.
