Tomorrow, Shane is taking a a break from chasing water mountains to discuss what it’s like to ride the biggest and baddest waves the world has to offer. Shane will even be dishing the dirty details on his hair-raising debut a Mavericks. Set that DVR is you have to, but don’t miss it!

And you thought Shark Week was big…

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”.

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.

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!

Project Save Our Surf has been on a mission to recruit nocturnal gnar-shredding surf squads for great cause. Founder, Tanna Frederick understands there are “a lot of people who think that night-time surfing is sacred”.

As a Santa Monica native and avid ocean-enthusiast, Tanna began to see just how much havoc pollution has been reeking at her home break. With Project Save Our Surf, her goal is to “bring people together, celebrating our oceans, and figure out what are our steps going to be from a positive standpoint”.

Project SOS’s newest and biggest mission to date will happen this weekend in Huntington Beach, California. That’s right, Surf City USA will host Project Save Our Surf’s newest event called, SURF 24, a full-fledged mash-up of professional and celebrity surfers all battling it out in a 24hr surf-a-thon. The end goal is to increase public awareness on the perils of ocean pollution.

Tanna collaborated with surf legend Pete “PT” Townend to make a surf event truly off the beaten path. Project SOS is a festival and entertainment event all wrapped into a big fundraiser. Tanna says, the event “isn’t just about competition. It’s about preserving our oceans”. Huzzah!

SURF 24 will run through Saturday night and into the wee hours of Sunday morning (which just happens to be International Surfing Day). Fear not creepy-crawlies, the midnight water will be lit with huge stadium lights.

On top of the contest, Surf 24 will have nearly 40 eco-village booths, six bands crankin’ tunes, and even a grassy knoll showing of 80’s surf classic North Shore. Project Save Our Surf will be donating Surfrider Foundation, Heal the Bay, and Inside the Outdoors Foundation. Many members from the Sanuk team will be there. So come get weird! Even if you cannot make it down, you can help raise money either by making donations at the event or skipping over to the Project Save Our Surf webby.

Make note surfnauts and friends of the environment, SURF 24 definitely has some magic up its sleeves. For full the 411 pop on over to their site…
