豊天商店 - Buden Akindo
豊穣天下 - Houjou Tenka

I believe they are the same company, with Houjou selling better quality (and more expensive), more mature clothing......

Some of these will definitely fit your skateboarder/surfer world
I'm not sure I went to the right Rakuten. This is where I went: All Rakuten Services

I looked up both brands on Rakuten and afterwards I googled both to see what else I can find. Somehow I end up finding this shirt and I don't know why but for some reason I like it: ˭ŷ��Ź

I don't know if that shirt is of the same brand as Buden Akindo, but that's what google showed through many images, and even so I have no idea what it says. But I like the shirt and this may be somewhat closer to my alley and I am not sure, but maybe also not what I am looking for. I liked Buden Akindo better than Houjou Tenka. Houjou Tenka seems to have too much design all over, and it's too "busy" for me to look at. But still, thank you for your suggestions! and if you know of any others please feel free to mention them.
