THUNDER X SUNDAY HARDWARE
“Sunday Hardware is a skater owned brand out of Sydney, Australia started by our good friend George Kousoulis. We have been fans of Sunday for a while now, and the reasons are pretty obvious… just look at their pro line up… Jake Hayes, Dane Burman, Gabriel Summers, Dean Palmer, and Chima Ferguson… they all ride for Thunder!
Chima and I had chatted about doing a Sunday x Thunder collab a few times, and we finally got around to making it happen. George handled the camera and edit, in between shifts at Lodown Skate Shop, and the crew went to work on their favorite Aussie spots. These boys put a lot into filming for this video, so enjoy!
Since Sunday Hardware is only available at skate shops in Australia, at least for the time being, we felt it only fitting that the New Thunder X Sunday Hardware LTD Collection should be an Australia only release as well. Cheers!” – Christian Alexander (Thunder Brand Manager)
