Origins of the SurfKilt style names: Each SurfKilt has its own style, look and identity. To differentiate between the various styles, each SurfKilt has been named after a God that has had some influence over the four original elements (earth, air, fire and water).

This is the month that all of the Shinto gods, 8 million of them, withdraw from the rest of the country to the shrine of Izumo Taisha to decide the fate of men for the coming year. Since all the gods are in restful deliberation, we would like to send all a SurfKilt so they can enjoy total tropical comfort. |
