In October of 2021, I had the supreme pleasure of joining Nate Zoller, LJ O’Leary and Harrison Roach on a road trip for Roark’s “The Great Escape” collection. We left San Francisco with no specific route in mind and let the wind, weather and waves be our guide through some of California’s most stunning countryside. A great escape it was.
