To help ride out the economic firestorm, STORM SURF COMPANYTM just announced the newest member of its surf team, Ryan Harmon. A longtime Huntington Beach resident who just returned from a “surfcation” in Costa Rica, Ryan has plenty of passion and knowledge of the OC and Hawaii surf scene and its many breaks. Ryan is a fierce competitor on a local, fun community level and usually finishes the day placing in the highly contested finals. “I like the STORM name, logo and its local HB roots – also what the STORM brand stands for. Its fresh and new…STORM has a strong surf vibe to it. I see lots of potential with all their creative ideas.” Ryan said.
Andrew Stoermer, owner and founder, says, “STORM SURF COMPANY was put together at the beginning of the economic meltdown – so the financing dried up. An angel investor back peddled and a large brand partnership had to withdraw which left us in an awkward position. We had ambitious plans, but not good timing. As a start-up, we could not pull the trigger and invest the dollars needed. The big brands have smart, talented people…it is hard enough for them right now, let alone a start-up. We continue to expose and define the STORM SURF COMPANY brand, we continue to think outside the box and look for creative branding opportunities, add key partners like Ryan, and strategically look for ways to generate revenue”.
