From the squeaky clean days of Frankie Avalon & Annette Funicello to the rebellious beach bums in the 80s, surf culture has long been a subject of fascination. Fashion designers Derek Lam & Michael Kors both cited it as inspirations for their resort 2012 collections, and the popularity of surfing as sport has lately been riding a new wave of popularity.

Partners & Spade is currently showing 'The Hottest 100 Yards' in collaboration with Quiksilver, an exhibit dedicated to Echo Beach & its influence on today's surfing industry. This month also witnessed the release of "Sight + Sound", a film by surfer & filmmaker, Mikey DeTemple which showcases some local surfers in action.
