While Dorothy runs from big, scary storms, Alek Parker chases and shreds them to smithereens.

All year long, Alek has been watching weather forecasts like a hawk and strategically making moves put himself in the right place and the right time. His year has been spent scurrying up and down the coast in search of the biggest, baddest, wave-slinging storms Mother Nature has to offer.

Lately, Alek has been posting videos around the web of sessions during Hurricanes Alex, Danielle, Earl, Igor and Tropical Storm Nicole. Come December 20th, Alek will be releasing a full-lenth surf DVD available for download exclusively on TheSurfNetwork.com.

But who better to explain the vision than Mr. Parker himself:

“The Hunt started out as an idea to document the most exciting season we get as East Coast surfers. Now it has turned in to an annual project that I put everything I have into each year… This Movie is the first time I have made a surf video profiling a specific Hurricane Season.

“The Hunt 2010 Movie is not like the episodes you see throughout the season. It is a surf video where the surfing, lifestyle shots and music guide you through each major storm of the season. In chronological order from the first storm of the season Hurricane Alex to Hurricanes Dannielle, Earl, Igor and ending with Tropical Storm Nicole… High energy surf shredding from Canada to the Caribbean and everywhere in between…”

Here at Sanuk, we’re counting down the days. Why? Just take one look at the recently released trailer.

Sanuk’s Quentin Turko and Stevie Pittman have been groms on a mission! Recently, in the 2010 Rip Curl GromSearch, the boys put on quite a show. Conditions were flawless in North Carolina as Quentin took the top spot in the 12 & Under Division and Stevie bagged 3rd. Heck yeah!

A couple weeks ago, we brought you a little ditty on Seth Pettersen and his musical ensemble, Franklin For Short, as they started their East Coast Tour. Well, things have concluded and it’s safe to say the endeavor was one for the record books. Below are some great moments on The Kings of Convenience Tour courtesy of Franklin For Short… Who came up anything but as they scooted from gig to gig.

In between shows, Seth and posse captured some classic moving images. Press play! You know you want to…

The shows were packed! Humans had their ears filled with groovy melodies. Here, Seth gets all sing-songy in his red Scurvys.
