Sanuk’s Randy Leavitt is a man of adventure. He thinks it is safe to jump off Half Dome with a parachute, but doesn’t know how to fly a kite? Hmm…

Recently, Randy went for a strapless kiteboarding session in Long Beach, California. During his time on the water a huge gust blew Randy off his board, hurling him downwind. Randy’s board (turned head-seeking missile) spun at him “like an egg beater”. The fins “grazed” his dome piece slicing a 16 staple gash on the top of his head. Not too keen on chumming the waters for sharks, Randy decided it’d be a better idea to kite the 1/2 mile back to shore to snag some help.

According to Randy, the two hour drive back with a throbbin’ headache wasn’t exactly the best way to spend the day. Fortunately, the doc grabbed enough office supplies to staple him back up.

Randy says he can’t wait to get back on the kite. Maybe less fins this time… ouch!

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!

Hear ye! Hear ye! Seth Pettersen is currently on a coast-to-coast tour with Kings of Convenience! The Kings have given Seth and his band Franklin For Short an opening spot to play with them live. Word on the street is that the response from fans has been overwhelming.

Seth’s song, “Baby Buddha”, is being featured in Mick Waters‘ new surf film, “Little Black Wheels“. The song accompanies a segment featuring the “explosive stylings” of Sanuk’s own Dave Rastovich. Another one of Seth’s gems, ”Ride it Out“,  sets the tone for a summertime spot in the film.

Here Seth talks all things tour and busts out some vintage Michael Jackson moves in a fresh pair of red Scurvys!
