Life pleasures come in all different forms.

For us, these pleasures involve a VW van, the pacific ocean, and camping above the clouds.

We forget how far our reach is. Voluntarily getting stuck in our bubbles that we forget that there is something beyond it. Letting us think that something out of our daily routine is oh so incapable, allowing us to diminish the possibilities of escaping.

Yet on the coast of California there has never been a better time to escape past our bubbles. All you need is a mode of transportation, a couple boards, and a few friends you don’t mind sleeping with on the side of the road.

Let this serve a reminder to get out and enjoy all there is in the world.

On the edge of Harajuku, a bold new sign has risen - The Residence of Impermanence - in Harajuku, Tokyo, is back. Art, surfboards, motorcycles, apparel, café, music - a place where all kinds of enthusiasms collide. Step inside to the Deus Café - a breezy open ceiling space, serving all-day breakfast and the perfect energy for every moment. We're not ones to argue with that. Climb the spiral staircase to surfboards quietly lined against a softly lit backdrop.

Shaped exclusively for the Residence by Takuya “Tappy” Yoshikawa, Tetsuya Ogawa, and Jared Mell, each board is one of a kind. Sofas once beloved at the former Harajuku store — crafted by TRUCK Furniture and Stephen Kenn — have been reupholstered and brought to life for their next chapter. They’ll take on new character with time — just like this place. We invite you to settle in and enjoy the flow.

Same name. New form. The spirit remains, just slightly rearranged. Come in, stay awhile. Find us at 2-32-5 Jingumae, Shibuya-Ku, BPR Square Jingumae 1-1F & 2F Tokyo.

In Benzin Veritas!

Kumpul-Kumpul Ride V “A wet Sunday is still a good day to ride.”

That morning, the last Sunday of June 2025, Bali breathed under a mist of drizzle. The wet season, which should’ve long packed up and left, stuck around just long enough to soak a single Sunday. But at the courtyard of Deus Temple Canggu, rain wasn’t a delay—it was the opening act.
