Recently, Sanuk’s trippin’ troubadour, Donavon Frankenreiter, made Ft. Lauderdale a stop on his tour. Donny jammed out at a couple stops in the area and even made a guest surf-instructor appearance at the Hang Loose Surf School. The surf school is part of Billabong’s effort to get groms filled to the brim with stoke.
Even before Donavon’s arrival, the little salties did everything they could to emulate his signature style. Many of them dawned dark Zinka mustaches to greet him. Upon Donny’s entrance, the crowd of mustachioed mini-donnies erupted in euphoria. Just look a ‘em! Smiles for days.

Why yes, that is a signed Sanuk! But the fun didn’t end there. Oh no, not even close. Next, it was time to throw on trunks and go for a surf.

Word on the water says one of the kids had mastered one of Donavon’s songs on the ukulele. You know what that means….Donny duet time!

With permanent markers always on hand, Donny takes a sweet second to sign a pair of Sanuks for a happy fan. Righteous! Head over to Donavon’s Website for full coverage. We didn’t take these photos, but Stoked Entertainment did.

Sanuk’s Donavon Frankenreiter is at it again…

Donny has just released “Revisited”, a complete reinterpretation of his 2004 self-titled debut. Don’t sleep on this one because this aint just a re-recording. Oh no bruddah- the mustachioed maestro has some big time aloha spirit that gets conveyed through a myriad of hawaiian melodies and new sounds.
According to his Facebook, Donavon “felt inspired to pour his newfound love for the Hawaiian sound and laid back island vibe into a creative medium”. On the record you’ll find your body swaying to some traditional Hawaiian instruments. Ukuleles, lap steel and slack key guitars give a “completely new sound to favorites like ‘It Don’t Matter’ and ‘Free’. So, grab yourself a big ol’ mixplate, an ice cold island lager and throw couple shakas because summer has a new soundtrack.
