Field testing for Mission Workshop looks like a blast. Bikes, beer, boards and a late eighties Volkswagen seem like dependable ingredients for an excellent trip along the stunning Californian coast.

The trip was originally conceived as a way to test a few choice pieces of gear designed in collaboration between Taylor Stitch and Mission Workshop. A quick escape to our local backyard jaunts to do the things we’d be doing regardless: riding bikes, surfing, and camping. In the end, simply put, the trip was rad.
