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!

Recently, Rusty Surfboards in Del Mar held a world premier screening of On Surfari: Haiti in their back parking lot. The good ol’ fashioned night out was chalk full of soulful fun as 250+ humans rallied to support Sanuk’s Shayne McIntyre’s unveiling of two fresh episodes of his show On Surfari. Shayne, a world-traveling soul surfer and full-time family man, has a show on Fuel TV that documents his family’s travels everywhere where they go.
For the event, the On Surfari crew even put together a gargantuan raffle to benefit the people of Haiti. If you weren’t able to make it out for the event, fear not, because the screening of the episode will debut shortly on Fuel TV.
As Fuel TV states, “Shannon and Shayne have lucked into some kind of perma-honeymoon, except rather than egocentrically living for themselves on their incredible adventures, the McIntyre’s use their celebrity to better local communities”.

Sanuk surf-teamer, Alek Parker, knows a thing or two about big blobs on the radar. Blobs? Yes. Blobs. Big ones like these…
That blob happens to be Hurricane Alex. Say hello. Classified as a “tropical depression”, Hurricane Alex has generated some solid surf along the Gulf Coast. Parker has been chasing blobs like Hurricane Alex all year. Needless to say, it’s go time! Most recently, Alex and friends went on a Transworld Surf excursion to get some shots. Good thing the photogs had their lenses ready, because Alek put on a show.Check out the fruits of his labor of love:

Every year surf retail juggernaut (and friends of Sanuk), Huntington Surf and Sport, hosts their annual “SanO Day”. As an old school, family-style beach day at San Onofre State Beach, SanO Day has become a full-fledged day-o-fun.
Everyone from HSS shop employees and family members to friends and random passersby’s turn out to share some waves, get crispy and celebrate summer like it’s nobody’s business.
Even though SanO Day did have a few “official” sponsors for the event, that didn’t stop Sanuk from sneaking in some fünk to the party. All was calm and collected until suddenly, out of nowhere, Official Donny mustaches started popping up unexpectedly. The Secret ‘Stache Sneak Attack was in full effect. Bow-chica-bow-wow!
A now, a few shots taken amongst the madness…
HSS Employees of the Day feeling Sanukified!
Sanuk Intern, Adam “Walk the Talk” Walker reporting for duty!
“Do these floaties make my ‘stache look big?”
General consensus: Everyday should be SanO Day!
