"2185 miles is a long hike, but the memories made, the friendships, the bonds you make, the hard times, and all the laughsalong the way, would have never been possible without the constant love and support from my friends and family. The trail is the mostbeautiful experience in the world, that cannot be explained by words or photos. A journey of a lifetime would be putting it lightly. Thank you to every one of my friends and family that encouraged and threw love my way over the past 6 months and thank you to all my trail family. I couldn't have done it without you. It was the best 6 months of my life and I'll never forget it. AT NOBO 2014" - Aaron Yeager aka Little Spoon

Lately, we have been gaining a stronger following amongst the youth on Instagram. In an effort to engage with them and grow our brand, we have been mailing personalized envelopes to those who have requested stickers. If you have received mail from us, make sure to share where you slapped your stickers.

Nick was one of the first guys to load up on Bruda stickers and slap them on all of his boards. He helped start the trend of friends grabbing a handful of stickers before heading out West and photographing Bruda on the mountain.
The Founder of Bruda attended college at JMU, studying Graphic Design. This image was made in Photoshop, by overlapping several pictures that were taken with his flip phone. Harrisonburg is a unique place, quite different from the beach, but filled with a great scene of artistic minded and creative people.

The Chillin' shirts arrived. This was one of the first Bruda designs taken to print. It's a play off of the Chili's restaurant logo. Since the last shirt was sold, there have been several requests to have this reprinted. Pictured: Larry Buchanan
We decided to have a pregame party for the Slightly Stoopid concert and it happened to be Morgan Walker’s birthday, so we combined both events and had a hell of a day, followed by a hell of a night.
When the concept of Bruda was beginning to develop, this was the image promoting the brand. Being a company based around good vibes and good times, you can see we have stuck true to our roots since day one. Hence the added rasta colors. This was a simple and appropriate first image to define our brand.
