Want to know what makes us smile?

The planet. Our planet. Planet Earth. You know, that big blue/green blob we live on? That big, spherical, wonderball all of us happyhumans meander around on….Ringing any bells? We thought so.

Chances are, if you’re like us, meandering always feels better when you’ve got a cushy pair of sandals under your toes. It makes trekking near and far a much more pleasant endeavor– and it’s something to be thankful for. So thankful in fact, that Sanuk wants to give Mother Earth a little love.

Recently, with the inception of The R.A.S.T.A Project and its line of signature sandals, Sanuk has devoted much of its focus to reducing its footprint–no matter how comfy it is. The R.A.S.T.A. Project which stands for Recyled And Sustainable Trade Alliance is a sub division of Sanuk Footwear.

The R.A.S.T.A. Project aims to reduce its impacton the world by providing footwear that is truly impact  free. Everything from the sandals’ materials (including: recycled-tired outsoles, jute, hemp natural latex and recycled plastic bottles) to the packaging as been chosen in a effort to be more environmentally friendly.

Now’s where the real fun begins. In an effort to make going green even more groovy….

This is your chance to hunker down in your Sanuks and help out planet little by little. Sometimes making a bigger initiative happen comes via baby steps. Here’s how you can help (and score some free Sanuk swag in the process)

Step 1: Do something GREEN –(taking out the recycle, conserving water, changing light bulb, riding your skateboard, bike, or dog to work- Anything to help our planet smile. If you’re stumped, try web searching “easy ways to go green”. It’s easier than you think— Get creative!

Step 2: Take a photo of yourself in the act as evidence! You’ll need a camera for this one, Ace.

Few things in the surfing world can rival watching young surfers do what makes them smile. When it comes to surfers (most of the time), the ones with the biggest smiles are the youngest ones in the water.  Young surfers, or “groms”, as they’re affectionately titled always manage to keep the good times- well, great.

Sanuk surf grom Ashley Beeson has been setting her sights high in the WSA surfing world. Recently, Ashley competed in a Western Surfing Association (WSA) contest at Ponto down in San Diego County.  In the Girls Under 12 event, Ashley took the 4^th place spot.

“I only had one good wave and didn’t get a second.” according to the little shredzilla.

But, in Girls Under 16 Division, Ashley looked in form as she stuck a 2^nd place in her Semifinal heat AND took 2^nd in the Final!

Ashley is looking to keep the momentum rolling at the next WSA stop!
