are most ordinary men turned by love into heroes, adventurers,
storyteller, singers of song.”

Skinny would like to take this moment to thank Dads (yeah, all Dads)
for all they do!
From
being our rock to teaching us to rock it out!
From
teaching us the rules to teaching us the importance of breaking them.
We never say it enough, but we are forever grateful for our forever lessons from learning to tie our shoes to the art of negotiating.
And in honor of the original King of the Castle, here are some Father’s Day suggestions for the OG man in our life!
For
the Artsy On-The-Go Dad - Capture (V3) Camera Clip ($69.95)
This
simple hack is Auh-Mazing for your Canon Rebel toting Dad! The
all-new Capture is the most secure, convenient, accessible way to
carry your camera. Unlike a standard camera strap, Capture
keeps your camera rigidly stable while hiking, biking, or moving
around the studio. Unlike a clunky camera bag, Capture keeps
your camera instantly accessible with the click of a button. Includes
2 components: a metal clip that clamps to any backpack strap, belt,
or bag, and an Arca tripod-compatible plate that screws into the
bottom of your camera. Your camera locks into the clip, where
it is held securely. Press the lockable quick-release button to
remove. Holds well over 200 lbs., making it strong enough for the
heaviest of pro camera/lens combinations. Their Version 3 updates
have evolved Capture be way smaller and way lighter, with all-metal
build. So here’s to the perfect gift for the Dad that wants
to capture every moment (with Capture of course)!
For
the Let’s Go to Yosemite For the Weekend! Dad - Energizer’s
PowerKeep Wanderer ($180.00)
For
Half Dome Hiker that wants to guarantee the shot when he gets to the
top! Have the ultimate power to charge your phone or tablet,
off the grid; Energizer’s PowerKeep Wanderer features lightweight
solar panels with a 10,000 mAh power bank which allows consumers to
haul their gear and charge their devices. The durable,
flexible, removable lightweight solar panel (not clunky at all) was
created by Ascent Solar Technologies. PK10K power bank can be charged
from the sun, AC, or any USB charging port. The backpack also
features a 2L hydration bladder so you won’t be thirsty when you
get to the top. So whether it’s music, photos, or video, rest
assured you’re iPhone 10 will have plenty of juice! ;-)
For
The Always Looking For the Next Great Spotify Playlist Dad -
Decibulz’s Wireless Headphones ($64.99)
Decibulz’s
Bluetooth Wireless earphones were created so you can take your music
with you no matter what you’re doing! Whether it’s running,
working out, or relaxing at Urth Caffe, Decibullz allows you to
listen to what you love while doing what you love. After
sampling them for a few days, we couldn’t believe it we ever
listened to music with corded headphones…. Decibulz’s earphones
can be “thermofitted” to the unique shape of your ea. Similar
to moulding a mouth guard you put the earplugs in hot water for 5
minutes, take them out, wait 30 seconds, and then mold the warm and
pliable plastic to the exact shape of your ear. The result?
Extreme noise isolating earphones that fit comfortably and won’t
ever fall out, whether you’re running or doing backflips. These
Bluetooth Wireless earphones are sweat and water resistant. And
if you mess up the molding process, just put the earbuds back in hot
water and start over. So help Dad cut those cords in style with
Decibulz.
For
For the Dad Carrying Some Serious Gear - 5.11 Mission Ready™ 2.0
($249.99)
Dad’s
LOVE gear, they just do! And they need something to drag all
their gear around in… ENTER 5.11’s massive Mission Ready™ 2.0.
The Mission Ready rolling duffle provides reliable,
multifunctional storage and transport options designed to excel in a
wide range of operational and recreational settings (TOTALLY sounds
like something that would come from a company that supports the
public safety and first responder community, right? Well guess
what THEY DO!). This bag can fit video camera gear, baseball
catcher’s gear, AND a teenage child and everything they require for
an overnight. Mission Ready 2.0 has a wealth of travel-friendly
features and customizable storage options that keep whatever you
chose to house inside safe, organized, and secure. Plus it’s
moisture and weather resistant for those two months of rain we get in
LA! ;-)
For
the Mixologist Dad - Ketel One Botanicals ($24.99 per 750mL Bottle)
For
the Dad always questing for the next cocktail concoction ingredient,
enter Ketel One Botanical! Distilled with real botanicals,
infused with natural fruit and botanical essences, and crafted with
the care and passion of 11th generation family distillers Carl Nolet
Jr. and Bob Nolet. Lower alcohol-by-volume (ABV) cocktails are
becoming the staples at the world’s leading mixology bars, and with
30% ABV these spirits are an exceptionally smooth, fresh-tasting
drink with no carbs, no artificial sugars no artificial sweeteners,
and only 73 calories (40% fewer calories than a glass of white wine).
Plus, it’s made with 100% non-GMO grain. Available in three
varieties in beautifully illustrated botanical-inspired bottles
include: Peach & Orange Blossom, for those who enjoy lush, juicy
white peaches and bold notes of fragrant orange blossoms; Cucumber &
Mint, for those who appreciate crisp cucumbers and light tones of
fresh garden mint; and Grapefruit & Rose, for those who seek
zest, mouthwatering grapefruit and the refined elegance of rose
petals. So bust out the big ice cubes, splash some tonic, and
allow Dad to craft some kickass botanical cocktails.
For
the Swirling Whirling Wine Dad - Castello del Poggio Moscato ($13.00
per 750mL Bottle)
Hello,
to the Sweet Life! Americans obsession with Italian wines are
not ending anytime soon, so let Dad embrace it with style. A
product of “spensieratezza,” the Italian word expressing
lighthearted carefreeness, this below fifteen dollar bottle of wine
is mildly (and we mean mildly) sweet with hints of honey, musk, and
white peaches on the nose. With colors of deep cornfields
and golden sunset reflections, its taste is light on the palate with
low minerality recalling hints of white tuberoses and honey. This is
the perfect wine to sip after a surf sesh! Pairs perfectly with
savory BBQ, spicy dishes, salads, guilt free desserts, and Santa
Monica sunsets! Saluti!
