Electric presents the “Be Cool Man” Bengal by Capt. Fin


August 12, 2014 | Words By:

Known for style on land and in water, Captain Fin has created a movement bigger than himself. This point is well illustrated by the recent recognition as ‘Breakout Brand of the Year’ at the 2014 SIMA Image Awards. The iconic Captain Fin style comes from the love for colorful vans from the 70′s, cult classic movies from the 80′s, and all the ‘rad’ verbs from the 90′s.

This style translates perfectly into the newest frame in the Electric family, the Bengal. A mash up from all his favorite era’s, the Bengal is set to be as much of a character as the Captain himself.

The Bengal is a universal frame with appeal that transcends not only genders, but generations
