Sanuk Introduces New Photo Series: Shayne’s Sanuks

Thursday, October 28th, 2010

While most known for his travel-inspired show, On Surfari, Shayne McIntyre, is a man of many talents. More dashing than George Clooney and armed with a proper cutback (a surfing term, NOT a sexual innuendo), Shayne travels the world with his family in search of surf, adventure and smiles.

So what does a traveling family bring on their many journeys around the globe? Let’s see… surfboards, gear, wax, trunks, supplies, entertainment for the kids, cameras, and of course- Sanuks- the ultimate travel companions.

This is where Shayne’s idea enters the frame (Pun definitely intended).

Shayne came to the our Creative Team with a novel vision- one through which he could share the sights he and his Sanuks see from the far reaches of the globe. Without further ado, allow us to introduce a new project near and dear to our soles called, Shayne’s Sanuks.

Chapter 1 comes to you from the McyIntyre’s current stomping grounds: Old San Juan, Puerto Rico.


To catch Shayne and his family in the act, brush up on his show, On Surfari, which currently airs on Fuel TV.

Shayne will also be appearing in an upcoming, side-splitting episode of SANUK NEWS!

Sanuk’s Donavon Frankenreiter Stops By Zappos.com to Pass it on!

Tuesday, October 5th, 2010

Would you let Donavon Frankenreiter answer your telephone at work? We didn’t think so…

Well, Zappos.com did! (No wonder they are so awe-thumb…) After taking a full tour of the Zappos.com facilities, Donavon Frankenreiter and Sanuk Founder, Jeff Kelley, sat down for some very serious business. Check out what happened as they put Donny to work. Those brave souls…

The real secret behind Zappos.com’s success? Ice cold beer flowing from the office tap… (Hmm…)

All the employees at Zappos.com HQ were so stoked on Donavon’s arrival they took “getting in the spirit” to a whole new level by dawning their very own, personalized mustaches! Even the lovely ladies whipped out the miracle grow and got creative… Now, that’s one good lookin’ crew.

With all those incredible soup strainers smilin’ in the sun, it was only fitting to hold a Most Magnificent Mustache Contest…. and we have a winner!

To accompany the contest, Donavon and band-mate Matt Grundy jammed for a intimate sunshine show.

You’re darn right you can find Sanuk’s on Zappos.com- Tell ‘em Sanuk sent ‘cha! Just watch out for that extra bit of hair in the packaging…

Donavon is seen here sporting the Standard in white.

Bandmate, Matt Grundy, is rockin the Scurvys in red.
