Remember Jake Adams and you’ll remember him not just for his world-class reef information, but his apparel too. Despite coming to us from the frosty climbs of Colorado, Jake was so often seen in shorts and sandals, a baseball cap, but most notably, his reef-related T-shirts.
So we thought we would have some fun yesterday, and with Jake’s wife Windsor Adams taking charge of all Reef Builders social media, we asked you, the readers, to show us your Reefing Tees, we got some good responses, but we want a lot more.
Jake’s Reef Tees were an eclectic blend of aquatic store brands, manufacturers, and Reef Builder’s own designs, including one notable one with the face and surname of Julian Sprung. The Sprung T-shirt was created by the amazing people at Gallery Aquatica in Australia, initially to celebrate their first trip to MACNA in 2016 where they would meet their mentor Julian Sprung.
Sprung For President
They named that Tee “Sprung For President,” and it was such a firm favorite of Jake’s he was often pictured in it even when not reefing. And better still, with Windsor’s blessing, Gallery Aquatica has created a similar design with Jake’s face on it, called “Adams,” and best of all, a baby-sized onesie to accompany it. You just know Adams Junior is going to be rocking that look when they’re born soon.
So get involved! We know so many of you have Reefing Tees as we see you wearing them at reef shows and on YouTube. Show us your reefing tees by commenting on our Facebook post, and if you really want to be in the cool crowd, get yourself a Sprungesque “Adams” shirt from Gallery Aquatica or better still an Adams Onesie for the tiny reefer in your life. All proceeds from Adams merch go to Windsor Adams and their little frag.
