2023 OFFSITE

Whitestone Surf Club

the vibe

Team Whitestone Surfs the Wave in San Diego! 

When you think of Southern California, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Ocean air, soothing waves, and the Beach Boys playing “Surfin’ U.S.A.”!

 

That’s why Team Whitestone headed to San Diego for our annual company offsite. After an incredible experience at our offsite in Austin, Texas, we knew it would be hard to top the location, vibe, and custom merch. But here we are, riding the wave!

the mood

Inspired by the chic beach vibes synonymous with Southern California, our Brand Team opted for simple and functional items with our Whitestone Surf Club spin on beach essentials.

 

The Elements:
  • Retro surf style

  • Soft dusted pastels and sherbet hues

  • Nostalgic 90s surf prints

  • Funky typography with playful lettering

  • Hand-drawn patterns

THE MERCH

In alignment with the Whitestone Surf Club theme, we gifted each team member with custom-designed merch inspired by 90s surf culture and our highlighted annual trends: good for the planet and 90’s nostalgia. These versatile items were practical and useful during our offsite activities and events.
