Amble Clothing, a sustainable lifestyle and golf apparel brand, is teaming up with Land & Sea Golf Shop at One Paseo to host a beach cleanup at Torrey Pines North Beach on Sunday, April 14th.
To commemorate Earth Day, Ambre wants to rally people to “make a positive impact by keeping our beaches and oceans clean.” The first 15 of her volunteers to pitch will receive a free amble hat. The first 25 people to show up to work will receive a free breakfast burrito.
The Amble brand aims to redefine golf fashion by taking an environmentally responsible approach and using high quality, sustainable fabrics. Del Mar native Talley Burgoon, a 2013 graduate of Torrey Pines High School, has been involved with his growing Amble brand from the beginning.
After attending Cal Poly to study agricultural business, Burgoon moved to Los Angeles and entered the golf industry. Sports is one of his biggest passions.
Working at online golf retailer Trendy Golf USA, he learned a lot about all the different golf brands and the strengths of each brand. He eventually connected with Michael Clem and Max Dugannes, who were looking to launch his own clothing brand. They welcomed Burgoon to Amble as a “utility guy.” As operations director, he is responsible for the company's marketing and social media, as well as sales and product development.
Clem also owns Land & Sea Golf, which has a flagship store in Carmel-by-the-Sea, a store in Honolulu, and a new store at One Paseo that opened last year.
“We are a small team passionate about golf, surfing, running and an active outdoor lifestyle. Our goal is to continually innovate and create a brand that combines functionality and comfort.” said Clem in a news release. “Sustainability is at the core of our Coastal brand and a value we deeply believe in. We're excited to make new connections and share the Amble vibe with an even wider audience.”

Founded during the pandemic, Amble first launched online in late 2021 and then began selling in Land & Sea stores. In January of this year, the brand was featured at his 2024 PGA Show in Orlando, Florida. The show, sponsored by PGA Golf Exhibitions and the PGA of America, is considered the largest annual business event for the global golf industry.
Amble sells lifestyle items such as hoodies, henleys, polo shirts and crewnecks. “We're trying to make golf feel a little less stifling with prints and colors that emphasize the coastal and California lifestyle,” said Burgoon, who has returned. lives in his hometown.
He said it was difficult to incorporate waves and patterns without becoming too kitschy, but Amble perfected the design and promised that its printed shirts are “not Uncle Larry's Hawaiian shirts.”
Amble also has a collection of pants, board shorts and hats. Fun bonus products include an Amble pickleball paddle and a surfboard bag. In collaboration with Faro, our surfboard bags are made from recycled materials.
The Ambre brand is currently featured in the pro shops of several clubs in Carmel and Hawaii, including Cypress Point and Monterey Peninsula Country Club. Burgoon's next mission is to bring the product to every golf course possible in San Diego.
One of the brand's proudest moments came at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am in February, when Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen showed up to play wearing the Amble Coastal Parka.
Allen acquired the hoodie at Cypress Point, one of Amble's top accounts, but the Amble crew didn't know about it until the PGA posted a photo of him at the Riviera course. Sure enough, Allen was on TV swinging a club, chatting with Tiger Woods, and giving interviews in his gear.
“It was a great moment,” Bourgon said. “Every small brand wants to get to that point…That was definitely the highlight of the year.”
The April 14th beach cleanup is just another way Burgoon and company are building connections with local communities and demonstrating their commitment to sustainable living.
According to the Solana Center for Environmental Innovation, the average American throws away more than 80 pounds of clothing each year, and only 15% is donated or recycled, with the rest ending up in landfills.
“We know that the clothing industry is not the solution, but rather the problem, so we are taking all precautions possible and working to ensure change,” Bourgon said. “We are a high-performance, high-quality brand, and we care about our products and what we put into the field.”
For the April 14 event, attendees can gather at Torrey Pines North Beach near Tower 5. Bourgon said he knows it's a bit controversial to do a beach cleanup during Masters weekend, but participants can still see the ending after giving back. The community is open from 9 a.m. to noon.
