Last weekend, The Rip Curl GromSearch dropped it like it was hot at 9th Street in Huntington Beach. Thanks to a playful south swell in the water, the groms had a field day out there. In the ladies 16/under final, wave selection was difference between tears or triupmh. The final went back and forth until the horn sounded. Sanuk’s 12-year old Malibu local, Frankie Harrer, came out on top of the slugfest with a big time 1st place result! With this momentum, Frankie is psyching to claim a solid spot in Puerto Rico for the GromSearch National Finals. Yeah, Frankie!

Hoot! Hoot! No, that’s not the guy you dropped in on calling you off the wave…It’s the night owl and he’s bigger than ever! Nightwalkers, it’s time to grab your infrared goggles, neon wax and a whole lot of caffeine because Project Save Our Surf is about to take night-surfing to a whole new level.

Can you say “24-hour surf-a-thon”?

Project Save Our Surf has been on a mission to recruit nocturnal gnar-shredding surf squads for great cause. Founder, Tanna Frederick understands there are “a lot of people who think that night-time surfing is sacred”.

As a Santa Monica native and avid ocean-enthusiast, Tanna began to see just how much havoc pollution has been reeking at her home break. With Project Save Our Surf, her goal is to “bring people together, celebrating our oceans, and figure out what are our steps going to be from a positive standpoint”.

Project SOS’s newest and biggest mission to date will happen this weekend in Huntington Beach, California. That’s right, Surf City USA will host Project Save Our Surf’s newest event called, SURF 24, a full-fledged mash-up of professional and celebrity surfers all battling it out in a 24hr surf-a-thon. The end goal is to increase public awareness on the perils of ocean pollution.

Tanna collaborated with surf legend Pete “PT” Townend to make a surf event truly off the beaten path. Project SOS is a festival and entertainment event all wrapped into a big fundraiser. Tanna says, the event “isn’t just about competition. It’s about preserving our oceans”. Huzzah!

SURF 24 will run through Saturday night and into the wee hours of Sunday morning (which just happens to be International Surfing Day). Fear not creepy-crawlies, the midnight water will be lit with huge stadium lights.

On top of the contest, Surf 24 will have nearly 40 eco-village booths, six bands crankin’ tunes, and even a grassy knoll showing of 80’s surf classic North Shore. Project Save Our Surf will be donating Surfrider Foundation, Heal the Bay, and Inside the Outdoors Foundation. Many members from the Sanuk team will be there. So come get weird! Even if you cannot make it down, you can help raise money either by making donations at the event or skipping over to the Project Save Our Surf webby.

Make note surfnauts and friends of the environment, SURF 24 definitely has some magic up its sleeves. For full the 411 pop on over to their site…

!Arriba! The Pacifico Surf Music Festival Mazatlan 2010 (dubbed: National) has gone down as one of the best contests (and fiestas) that Mexico has ever held. Conditions were more than “muy bueno” as Mazatlan cranked great surf throughout the weekend. Sanuk’s Christian Corzo of Puerto Escondido surfed his brains out to snag 2^nd place overall in the Open category. Check out Christian standing tall wearing mellow yellow!

Last weekend, Sanuk teamed up with Revolution Surf Shop to support Boarding for Breast Cancer. The event, We Do it for the Love, was a Fashion Show Fundraiser. The participants to took to the stage in style! The runway never looked so good! Bonus style points for the TubeFlop piggyback!

Happy Heads- always a crowd pleaser.
