Remove ads
Hang Ten is a Hong Kong-based lifestyle and apparel company that had its origins in surf wear but now makes mass-market casual clothing and other items, selling the bulk of its products in the East Asian market, including Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea.[1] Hang Ten's name comes from the surfing maneuver of 'hanging ten', that is, to hang all ten toes over the edge of the surfboard. Its original logo was a sewed-on pair of little feet. Today, the company licenses its logo and designs for apparel, paddle-boards, skateboards, surfboards, sun care, and other lifestyle products.[2]

History
Hang Ten was founded in 1960 in Seal Beach, California, by Doris Moore and Duke Boyd,[3] as a maker of surfing apparel. It branched into other sports apparel, and helped develop the action-sports apparel industry. Boyd sold Hang Ten in 1970.[4] The brand was bought by Hong Kong–based conglomerate Li & Fung in 2012.[5]
