The Expedition Union is a place to discover Roark’s latest collections of adventure-ready goods and products from like-minded brands, including a curated assortment of surfboards, camping accessories, men’s grooming products, and travel literature.
Crafted around the idea of building a gathering place to inspire travel and outfit your next adventure. The club will host monthly events featuring ambassadors and guests to promote adventurism, the outdoors, creativity and the local community. Cold local beer is always on tap to enjoy while talking story or at upcoming events.
Each store has had the distinct addition of art from a local artist. At Berkeley you’ll find Kevin Butler who penned a mural from his series “Peace & Shakas.” and at LA you’ll see what three days on a scissor lift will get you with art by DJ Javier. And finally in San Diego John Antoski pulls visual stories from the salty beach air while leaning towards the natural narratives of daily life. Creating a series of characters to illustrate the volume of travels circling the globe, he depicts Roark’s land to sea pilgrimage over the years.
