BIRKENSTOCK | #BOLD with James Otter

James Otter spends his days hand crafting bespoke wooden surfboards in his workshop on the Cornish coast. On Monday mornings, he heads out into the waves. The process creates a connection “unlike anything else,” he says, and as the board is surfed over many years, this connection deepens. Encapsulating the same built-to-last spirit as the #BOLD heritage collection, BIRKENSTOCK and James collaborated on a one-of-a-kind surfboard: a completely hand-made, all-wooden ‘eagle’, which is based on a legendary Californian design. Like BIRKENSTOCK, the ‘eagle’ defined an alternative aesthetic to the mass-produced, cookie-cutter culture that surrounded it. #BIRKENSTOCK #BOLD https://www.instagram.com/BIRKENSTOCK/ https://www.instragram.com/JamesOtterSurf https://www.instagram.com/OtterSurfboards
