Sonbent is a surf, skate, and snow apparel brand rooted in the foundation of the Bible. Inspired by the verse 1 Timothy 4:12, we hope to encourage others to use their passions and talents to grow God’s kingdom.
Sonbent originally started in 2005 in Southern California. We were creating our first t-shirt design as seniors in high school that year when Hurricane Katrina made landfall. Immediately we wanted to help, so as soon as the shirts came off the press we started selling them with all of the profits going to the relief effort. Giving back to our communities is this main purpose behind Sonbent. Beyond inspiring the youth through our apparel, we want to provide opportunities to be apart of outreach events and mission projects both locally and globally.
So… what does “sonbent” mean?
Wearing the threads, you might get asked this quite often. And it’s an opportunity to share your faith! “Sonbent” means to live a life with a purpose led by Jesus, the Son of God. Think of it simply as the opposite of hellbent.
