Town & Country Surf Designs (also known as T&C) is a world famous manufacturer of surfboards. T&C started in 1971 with a single store founded by Craig Sugihara in Pearl City, Hawaii. T&C would later expand into a world recognized brand featuring a full line of surf wear and accessories with retail stores across the globe, in countries such as Australia, Japan, and Brazil. The golden age for T&C was the 1980s. During this time, team riders Christian Fletcher and Matt Archbold aka the “Air Brigade" were taking surfing to new heights with their innovative aerial approach to surfing. This new form of radical surfing attracted many customers and shapers to the Town & Country label. Around the same time, Sunny Garcia was signed to the Town & Country team, and would go on to become the World Surfing Champion in the year 2000.
