Well we can always settle for the latest in gringo fashion. Hundred fifty dollar cross trainers, no socks, and lobster red skin all the way up the
calf.

After pondering my statement for a day, it finally came to me that the shirts were "Hang Ten" with the two little feet.
Remember those?? Or, are they still around?

Ocean Pacific was started by John Smith in the 1960s as a surfboard brand. Smith designed the original trademark and label for his surfboards which he
sold out of his shop North County Ding Repair. Later, Fred Ryan purchased North County Ding Repair from John Smith along with the Ocean Pacific
surfboard label. The Ocean Pacific label was later sold to Don Hansen of Hansen Surf Shop. In 1972, Jim Jenks of San Diego wanted to create clothing
that met the demands of surfers in and out of the surf. He received the name from his then employer Don Hansen and the Ocean Pacific apparel line was
created. Jenks' idea for clothing under the Ocean Pacific label quickly became popular with the surf culture with its instantly recognizable 'OP'
logo.
The Ocean Pacific brand experienced financial trouble through the 1990s. Richard Baker's investment group Doyle & Boissiere bought Ocean Pacific
in 1998. Baker stayed on as Warnaco acquired Ocean Pacific in 2003 and sold it to current owner Iconix Brand Group in 2006. In the summer of 2008, an
ad campaign to celebrate their 35 year anniversary was launched featuring celebrities.
