We’re not cool – We’re ICE COLD! (Pic: © Jan E. Jensen, www.shittm.com)


We’re
slowly and firmly expanding to new continents – so we found it latent
to call our surf team “SHIT® SURF RATS” after essential history.
The name came up from the well known Rattus Norvegicus
(Norwegian brown/gray rat) that is the most common rat in the world,
spread to all continents, and is the most dominant rat in Europe and
North America.

Jan Erik Jensen, Inger Elin Knappskog, Richard
Bentley (the terrifying and judging Bomb Squad) and the young-gun Ask
Hide form SHIT® SURF RATS. All raised on the stormy Norwegian west
coast, shredding and ruling the lineup for decades. See the intro pics below. (Profiles online here soon).

The
idea by gathering these individual surf rats is to lift the brand to
another level, accomplish market shares and also “invade new countries”
as the Rattus Norvegicus did.

The goal is to create top
notch products and happy customers nationwide and beyond: To be noticed
globally and contribute to Norwegian west coast inspired surf  products
and designs carried by the brand, such as surf boards (already in our
product portfolio), head gear, surf trunks, shirts, jackets and
accessories.

PS!
Rattus Norvegicus is the most successful mammal on Earth.
…we definitively have something to aim for!

Proudly introdusing:

Richard "Bombsquad" Bentley. Core free surfer and tattoo artist.
