TAREE - Dakoda & Harley Walters

At the start of 2025, the Walters brothers — Harley, 18, and Dakoda, 23 — were picked up by Ocean & Earth on a head-to-toe deal, slapping the South Coast hardware brand’s stickers on the noses of two prodigiously talented siblings.

It’s the first time O&E has occupied that real estate in well over a decade — or roughly since their current CEO, Phil Macdonald, was giving Kelly Slater grief on the ASP. (Fun fact: in 2003, Phil had a perfect 3-0 record against the GOAT, temporarily denying Slater a much-anticipated 7th world crown. A low-key flex, IMO, second only to O&E inventing the hooded rashguard in 1991, back when the Florence brothers were still swimming in the metaphysical soup of their father’s imagination. A story for another week.)
