Daydream was founded in 2016 by Kyle Kennelly and Rebecca Mantei in an effort to bring a spirit of experimentation and creativity to their Newport Beach community.
Daydream is a bustling campus that resides in Newport Beach’s industrial district within old boat building warehouses. With editorial spotlights from international magazines, this small shop has blossomed into a global cultural melting pot with a diverse selection of goods from homewares to vintage clothing and of course all the great surfboards that California has to offer. Awarded the 9th best cafe in the nation by Food & Wine Magazine, their cafe boasts a reputation of its own that draws in a multifaceted crowd and exposes them to a vision of surfing that embeds itself in an academic study of surf history through a holistic approach.
Daydream’s clothing collection takes on the same ethos as the rest of the shop. It is rooted in vintage culture, prioritizes factory ethics, and works towards a more environmentally sustainable way of production.
