Western Hydrondynamic Research

We met Pat back in 2020 through our good friend (and now studiomate), Jay Nelson. At the time, we connected over a shared love of the ocean and the experience of running small, up-and-coming brands along the California coast. Over the years, we’ve gotten to collaborate and watch each other grow. 

We love Pat’s approach to design because he values the same things we do: functionality, durability, environmental consciousness, and plain old fun. He’s a regular collaborator — and a regular in the van on surf trips, too.  Together we’ve made bags, wallets, hats; we’ve surfed waves big and small, and found brothers for life.
