Counting Miles of Comfort in Sanuks
Friday, June 25th, 2010Ever think about walking 400 miles? Kim Olpin has.
A few days ago, Kim wrote us an email sharing just how far her Sanuks have taken her. Over the past 39 days Kim has walked upwards of 330 miles all for Floating Doctors—a non-profit whose mission is to bring free health care to the most remote communities in the world. Kim’s ambitious goal is to raise $100,000.
Legend has it, Kim set a goal to walk 400 miles in the Los Angeles area. She chose 400 because that equates to 1 mile for every 500 Floating Doctors heading out on their missions this year.
Kim said she has always preferred cruising barefoot or in flip-flops but recently noticed she needed a little more foot protection for this much city slicking. Honestly, just the thought of walking barefoot in LA terrifies the bajeepers out of us… Kim is one brave sole (pun intended).
“If you think it takes forever to get anywhere in LA via freeway, try walking there…”
Kim’s Weapons of Choice: The Vagabond
In Kim’s first week, she tried number of different pairs of “regular” shoes but disliked every single one. No wonder! Shoes are for dorks. Once Kim tried our “not a shoes”, she claims it was love at first step.
Kim has worn them for nearly 300 miles despite naysayers expressing their disbelief. As fellow footwear enthusiast and blogger, Kim has been documenting her slightly crazy endeavor on Wellness Walkabout.
As of June 23rd Kim has walked a total: 352.72 miles with only 47.28 miles remaining. Woot! Keep that pedometer working overtime!

Checking In with Sanuk Sea Soldier: Dave “Rasta” Rastovich
Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010Dave Rastovich knows a thing or two about nurturing a “Zen relationship with the sea”. When he’s not carving powerful frontside hacks or clockin’ solid time in the green room, Rasta focuses his efforts on increasing awareness about the predicaments plaguing our oceans.
Forget Waldo. Where’s Rasta? Currently, Rasta is kickin’ it in Florida resting a bum foot he sustained while trekking in Indonesia. During the downtime, Rasta admits he’s “pretty nervous about the huge oil spill in the Gulf”. An interview in Huck Magazine describes Rasta as “spiritual guy whose hippie mentality doesn’t stop him surfing with more style and power than most of his macho counterparts”. We couldn’t agree more. Rasta not only wields power through his arcing turns but he’s equally formidable with his conservation efforts.
His latest voyage entitled TransparentSea, was an “effective whistle blowing adventure down the east coast of Australia”. Rasta and his crew originally set out with aims to rid beaches riddled with unsightly rubbish. As the trip grew, so did the missions. Rasta and fellow soul-wombat Chris Del Moro also set out to celebrate the comeback of Australia’s east coast humpback whale. As for the most memorable part of the trip, Rasta is quoted saying, “Being side by side with humpback whales, having them surf swells with us out in the open ocean…made us feel very privileged”.
During the 36-day voyage, Rasta and friends flexed some might with the Surfrider Foundation and Tanaroa Blue’s Marine Debris Initiative. Teams made it a priority to clean and catalog trash-infested beaches. By taking the clean-up one step further and recording data, it becomes possible to see the roots of the problems. Long story short, if we know where trash come from, we can stop it at the source. Prevention is half the battle.
“Surf more, consume less, give back to that which any true surfer can’t live without: the sea.” – Dave “Rasta” Rastovich
