*Da S3 Family Ethics*
Through growth & development, the collective virtues of Sol Shred Skim (S3) have magically braided together with passion to form an eco-conscious underground organization. We are much more than an ordinary virtual gallery & billboard promoting surfing, sk8ing & skimboarding as a lifestyle. We might even be intimidating to some sources who are easily overwhelmed by an abundance of positive motivation. The ways in which we reach out to Mother Earth & her inhabitants is filled with compassion & creativity. We support an array of nonprofit/ grassroots organizations that strive to preserve indigenous ecosystems & fight to save endangered species. All living creatures present on this planet should be able to thrive in their own natural fulfillment. This is how our family survives. Da S3 Family is a talented TEAM of extreme athletes with impressive skills not only used in the water & on the street but also within the community. We are connected by our bonsai family tree & engraved permanently as poets, artists, writers, musicians, environmentalists, entrepreneurs, designers, photographers & performers. S3 represents the embodiment of eclectic art & poetry. We spread optimistic affirmations in front of an audience through spoken word & in written format where it needs to be seen. To add vibrancy to our image & help build a following for each artist, we showcase different genres of artwork created by our individual family members who pursue drawing as a career. The idea of designing comfortable, functional & fashionable apparel for X-treme Chics who ride boards is what launched our venture in 2006. When we began introducing our movement to society & friends, there were numerous questions about sponsoring guys. Before 2007 began, S3 had to say "yes" to the demand for Gender Equality. What we decided to do was flip the mainstream's typical script of male role models & expose females on the front line of the scene. Both genders need each other in order to continue legacies. Accept it. In this revolutionary age, timid women have become uncommon. Graceful aggressiveness is a better description for our kind of girls. Only those who push themselves will triumph over taboo stereotypes & earn respect. Of course, etiquette & gratitude need to be acknowledged in every element through all conditions. Our mantra: this is your temple... is a universal statement of our mind, body, spirit, heart & environment. S3 embraces all these components as a whole & has complete faith in the righteous choices life brings forth. We believe every soul has a sacred sanctuary which should be worshiped, protected & loved. The youth must understand this concept because they are our fearless future. Depending on how children are raised will determine their perspective on life throughout adolescence. Ideally, they contain the indestructible willpower to conquer obstacles without doubt. Trapped inside an average household, the imagination & innocence of a kid is resorting to the artificial reality of television & video games. S3 leads these lost souls away from the shadows of brainwashing chaos to blind them with ultraviolet rays of enlightenment.
