The official MARLEY x Oshima event poster was created by highly regarded rock and music poster artist, Scrojo, whose designs have been used to promote performances and events from legends like Robert Plant, BB King and Elvis Costello, to current artists like Jason Mraz, including many members of the Marley family.
#LiveMARLEYBigIsland is the second in a series of key market #LiveMARLEY events. Last month, House of Marley unveiled #LiveMARLEYNYC in collaboration with renowned bike and skate shop, Dave's Wear House.
Oshima in Japanese means "Big Island" and is where Oshima Surf and Skate gets its name. The first Oshima Surf 'n Skate store was opened in Kona in October 2010 when co-owners and life-long friends from the Big Island, Mike Abe and Tim Jones, fishermen by trade, saw the need for a cool, locally owned, surf/lifestyle shop on the Kailua-Kona side of Hawaii's Big Island. Word got out quickly and the business thrived. After experiencing the success of the Kailua-Kona shop, they opened their Hilo location in October 2012, followed immediately by the Waimea location in November of the same year. The main objective of the Oshima stores has been, and continues to be, bringing to the visitors and residents of the Big Island great product from innovative surf and lifestyle brands, contemporary and relevant style by doing so always with tons of Aloha.
