Ryan Hall, Founder of BIG MANGA rides easy from #RI to NZ! Home of the #TANIWHA!Could you tell us the story behind Big Manga ?
Big Manga stems from the Northeastern Shores of Auckland, NZ. 'BIG MANGA' was a term my fiends and I created when we were 15. We used to visit this small surf town called Mangawhai and we nick named it 'BIG MANGA'. 'MANGA' stands for Mangawhai.
Some of my best memories are from those trips so the idea is Nostolgic for me. I was back in Mangawhai in Feb 2013 with the original crew and all those memories and feelings inspired me to start the brand.
How did BIG MANGA (New Zealand) find Rhode Island's secret Seasquatch BIG RHODY?
BIG MANGA found BIG RHODY while searching for the mythical Taniwha as depciting in our collaboration series. TIKI MANG and BIG RHODY met while in Rhode Island after he chased a Taniwha all the way from NZ, surfing the giant waves caused by the monsterous serpant. BIG RHODY then traveled back to NZ with TIKI MANG to find more mythical creatures to surf.
Do the mythical New Zealand legends of Taniwhas really exist?
Therefore they dwell in places that people typically avoid. There is no hard evidence that these creatures still exist but BIG MANGA and BIG RHODY believe these creatures are
still living, protecting our seas from other dangers.
QIn Māori mythology: Taniwha are beings that live in deep pools in rivers, dark caves, or in the sea, especially in places with dangerous currents or deceptive breakers
BIG RHODY likes to eat – What are some classic New Zealand foods that BIG MANGA could recommend to chow down?
New Zealand has world ronouned cusine. BIG RHODY could start with a batch of fresh mussels and then move on to some lamb for the main course. Casual dining will usally consist of BBQ sausages and some Watties tomatoe sauce. For breakfast some Weetbix or Vegemite on toast is usually a favoite.
BIG MANGA loves the Ocean State! Three of our surf team riders are born and bred in Newport, RI. A lot of surfing and extra curriculer activites go down in the Ocean State. We had our Product Launch Party at the 2013 Newport Folk Festival aboard a 14 Boat Flotilla. We are talking with a number of local shops through out the region and will hopefully hang out flag at these stores soon.
