The brand OAM (On A Mission) is a brand founded in 1992 by professional surfer Chris Malloy. Indeed, for him, the brand's career seemed obvious. While he was in high school, the beginning of the brand was born or almost, because he was scribbling OAM everywhere on his notebooks!

So Chris, his brothers, and his crew of surfers bring to life a childhood idea to make it real and thus affirm their brand story to always live "On a mission" by all means! After several explorations around the globe, wandering from city to city, from surf spot to surf spot with his brothers, the brand gradually comes to life. They are committed to providing surfers who, like them, travel the globe with the best equipment perfectly suited for every adventure!

A few years later, OAM continues its rise by remaining a calm leader in surf accessory innovation. The products are designed by surfers for surfers and tested by the best in the field under tough conditions to ensure quality products that work for everyone and in all situations!

The company was therefore founded solely by professional surfers such as:

The Malloy brothers, Benji Weatherly, Shane Dorian, Taylor Knox, Ross Williams, and Taylors Steele!
