Hang Ten - Manila, Metro Manila (Robinson's Ermita) - Philippines

In 1960,in a surfing spot of Southern California, a young surfer named Duke Boyd asked seamstress Doris Boeck to stitch together a durable pair of surf trunks he designed. The first-ever "board-shorts" to be capable of withstanding the rigors of surfing were an instant success with surfers and beach-goers along the California Coast. The business prospered and the company Hang Ten was born.
