Chris Sharma, the superstar of World climbing has been busy again attempting a couple of “hardest yet” projects at Margalef in Catalyuna. This mini-video shows him at work on these projects including the first ascent of Neanderthal a new 9b!
When Sanuks sees someone in Sanuks its a great feeling!! And may we add, you look especially handsome!
I am currently down in Puerto Rico shooting for a new project I am working on with Carmen Vicari… I’ve had this idea for a while now, but it took some time for everything to line up and start the production… In a nutshell, my goal is to make a video web series documenting the life of a cold front as it brings harsh weather and epic surf from West to East across the country and Caribbean… Pacific to the Atlantic and down to the Caribbean, we want to give a very indepth look at these weather systems and the local surfers of the locations that these storms effect the most… With the giant swells that have been rocking the coast of California and Baja to the snow covered barrels of the Northeast and down to the beautifuly pristine Northwest swells of the Caribbean, this project will be as action-packed as it is interesting…
I’m very excited that everything is coming together, and I am able to start shooting… Carmen is a very talented videographer and as this trip continues I have learned that we work very well together and are equally excited for the outcome of the finished product… We have a long road ahead of us, but with every trip planned to be more diverse than the next, we shouldn’t have any dull moments…
This trip down here to Puerto Rico has been better then we could have asked for… With Brian Toth getting one of the biggest barrels of his life at home to the talent of Gabe Kling, Asher Nolan, and Peter Mendia scoring one of the best swells of the year, we are psyched on the quality of footage we have been so fortunate to collect…
Not sure when we are returning to Florida due to another swell forecasted here for the weekend, but nonetheless, we are anxious and excited to continue on to the next leg of our journey…
I will be posting project updates and behind-the-scenes videos up here on my blog throughout the next few months, so keep checking back for a quick glance into our adventures!!!

Look for Donny on an upcoming episode of fuels Daily Habit… One special song with a random collection of back ground singers including Sanuk founder Jeff Kelley was strikingly awesome! Go Donny go go! Donny be good
