It’s the same old song — you can’t always get what you want. Body, bank account, beach house…

Remember Op and the surfer craze of the eighties? Those ubiquitous corduroy shorts, bikinis, and jerseys. You felt sooo rad. But time passed. You tossed the Op.

Fast-forward fifteen years. You want it again. Only you can’t find it anywhere.

Until now. After a harsh wipeout, the Ocean Pacific label is back. Which means you can now get the perfect gear to wear with those new Ponys.

Needless to say, fashion’s return to surfer chic could have been worse. We’re still recovering from that hideous fluorescent Body Glove bathing suit.
