Meet Sanuk’s world-travelling surf, contest machine and scholastic dominator, miss Amy Nicholl.

Hailing from New Smyrna Beach, Flordia Amy is the real deal. In recent years, she has amassed a long list of surfing achievements including an ESA Eastern Championship, three ESA Southeast Regional titles, three ESA Scholastic Championships, an NSSA East Coast Girl’s title and an Explorer Women title. At just 16, Amy became the Surfing America under 16 Girl’s Champion and a Rip Curl National Grom Search Champion. Phew!

And according to Amy, now 20 years of age, the biggest highlight of her amateur career was “having been a 3 year member of the ESA All Star Team and a 3 year member of the USA Surf Team”. Needless to say, Amy has pretty much perfected this maneuver:

We like to call it, the “Check Please!”

When Amy isn’t in the water kickin’ major bootay in her contest heats, she can be found in the undergraduate program at the University of Central Florida studying marketing and captain-ing the UCF Surf Team.

When the waves go flat in Florida, Amy can be found behind the boat enjoying her new hobby- wake surfing.

…Proving sometimes you’ve got to spin it to win it!

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.
