PROOF LAB IS THE BEST SHOP IN THE WORLD, IF YOU ARE EVER IN MILL VALLEY CALIFORNIA, GO THERE.
PROOF LAB IS A SURF/SKATE SHOP IN MILL VALLEY, CALIFORNIA OWNED BY A COUPLE GUYS (WILL HUTCHINSON AND NATE MCCARTHY) THAT GREW UP IN THE AREA THAT WANTED TO BUILD A BUSINESS THAT WOULD LET THEM LIVE THE LIFESTYLE THEY WANTED AND WOULD ALSO GIVE BACK TO THEIR COMMUNITY AND THE ENVIRONMENT. YOU WILL TRIP WHEN YOU SEE WHAT THESE TWO GUYS HAVE DOWN OVER THE YEARS, ITS TRULY INSPIRING. ITS A SURF SHOP WITH LOTS OF BOARDS AND GEAR AND A SKATE SHOP WITH A SKATE RAMP IN THE BACK. ITS A CORE SHOP FOR ANYONE INTO ANYTHING REALLY, THEY SELL IT ALL AND THEY ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT. AND NOW YOU CAN EVEN GET A TASTY COFFEE. THE COOLEST THING TO ME IS THAT THEY BUILT THE PROOF LAB OUT OF AN EXISTING SURF SHOP THAT WAS THERE FOR YEARS CALLED THE MARIN SURF SPORTS, THEY BOUGHT IT AND KEPT THE SPIRIT OF SURFING IN MARIN ALIVE. I THINK A LOT OF BUSINESSES IN THIS SURFING WORLD NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO THESE GUYS, THEY ARE HERE TO TEACH US ALL, THAT FOLLOWING YOUR PASSION WORKS, AND THAT IF YOU GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY, THEN THE COMMUNITY TAKES CARE OF YOU. I SEE THESE GUYS GOING STRONG FOREVER. KEEP IT UP GUYS, YOU KEEP US INSPIRED.
