Sanuk’s Donavon Frankenreiter Stops By Zappos.com to Pass it on!

Tuesday, October 5th, 2010

Would you let Donavon Frankenreiter answer your telephone at work? We didn’t think so…

Well, Zappos.com did! (No wonder they are so awe-thumb…) After taking a full tour of the Zappos.com facilities, Donavon Frankenreiter and Sanuk Founder, Jeff Kelley, sat down for some very serious business. Check out what happened as they put Donny to work. Those brave souls…

The real secret behind Zappos.com’s success? Ice cold beer flowing from the office tap… (Hmm…)

All the employees at Zappos.com HQ were so stoked on Donavon’s arrival they took “getting in the spirit” to a whole new level by dawning their very own, personalized mustaches! Even the lovely ladies whipped out the miracle grow and got creative… Now, that’s one good lookin’ crew.

With all those incredible soup strainers smilin’ in the sun, it was only fitting to hold a Most Magnificent Mustache Contest…. and we have a winner!

To accompany the contest, Donavon and band-mate Matt Grundy jammed for a intimate sunshine show.

You’re darn right you can find Sanuk’s on Zappos.com- Tell ‘em Sanuk sent ‘cha! Just watch out for that extra bit of hair in the packaging…

Donavon is seen here sporting the Standard in white.

Bandmate, Matt Grundy, is rockin the Scurvys in red.

Spreading the Word with ‘The Cove’

Monday, June 7th, 2010

Chances are if you have spent any time in the ocean swimming, surfing, splashing or floating- you’ve come across a dolphin or two. If you have, you know firsthand just how incredible they are. What you may not know is just how much danger they are in…

Ok, movie-buff- heard of The Cove?

Better yet- have you seen it? If not, in simple summation according to IMDB “A group of activists, led by renowned dolphin trainer Ric O’Barry, infiltrate a cove near Taijii, Japan to expose both a shocking instance of animal abuse and a serious threat to human health”.

While watching it you’ll notice a spot on Sanuk’s own Dave Rastovich as he makes an appearance in the film. His tremendous work, Surfers for Cetaceans does not go unnoticed.

For a true glimpse into the heart of film, here is a PSA with a few familiar faces and a clear, strong message.
