SKIP THE BOAT is more than just a brand. Since its inception, its mantra has remained constant: to inspire and empower people to chase their dreams. From unmatched underground shows to wearable stories through their garments,  SKIPTHEBOAT evolves constantly, and it's becoming a beacon of resistance against mediocrity.

Resembling a cult-like dedication, followers of the movement are more than mere customers; they are what carries it forward.

My conversation with the visionary Herman Jagpal was both fun and insightful. I eagerly anticipate seeing him take this dream worldwide and ultimately become a household name. 🔥
