The Official No Bad Days Trademark

The Origin :

No Bad Days started a long time ago in what was then a small fishing village at the very end of the Baja Peninsula.

Tom Sample, an avid saltwater sport fisherman from Huntington Beach, California was first attracted to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico for it's world class sportfishing. That was back in the late sixties when the biggest hotel in town had something like 50 rooms, fast food came from a wooden cart and beer was 25 cents, US. What kept him coming back to Cabo was that laid back way of life. It is also what inspired the NO BAD DAYS brand to come about.

In 1996, starting out with the original palm tree decals, some shirts, caps and keychains, Tom distributed his No Bad Days products to small mom and pop gift shops, surf shops in the San Diego and Orange County areas of California. In early 2000, Tom lost his battle with cancer, leaving the No Bad Days legacy to his son, Scott Sample.

Scott picked up where his father left off, selling apparel and decals to those same small stores in late 2000. His first company car was a black 1930 DeSoto 3-window Business Coupe. It was his daily driver and was used to deliver his products locally. That old DeSoto was also used to tow the No Bad Days trailer to the Kobey's Swapmeet where he sold shirts, hats and test marketed new products on weekends.

Seeing the popularity of his brand growing, Scott started his first website in 2001. No Bad Days also made an appearance at trade shows like Magic and ASR and participated in Fundraisers like the Tuna Challenge for the Make a Wish Foundation. With the website in place and generating more sales, as the brand was introduced to a broader audience, it became clear that people from all walks of life loved what No Bad Days stood for.

No Bad Days has become a mantra for countless people both young and old. The common thread is a love of life, an adventurous spirit and the ability to cope with what life throws their way.
