In the world of surfing today, documentation is bigger than ever. Whether you’ve been jet-setting around the world in search of perfect pits or running across the beach at your local spot, you’ve got to have proof- right?

You wouldn’t want to come home empty-handed (especially when you intend on boasting to your bros), would you? After all it’s: Get the shot. Bag the clip. Get the girl (or boy). Right? At least, that’s what they tell us…

Let’s say (hypothetically of course), the waves are firing at your local spot with no one around… but you don’t have a photographer handy to film you gettin’ shreddy with your best bud. Sounds like you’re stuck in pickle.

Don’t panic. Do as Sanuk’s Philip Goold and Bretty Barley did. Grab the nearest camera, film for a few minutes and GET OUT THERE! That way you’ve got just enough proof for some high-quality mindsurfing material AND most importantly- you got to surf.

Sanuk’s Shon Bollock is a whitewater maniac. When he’s not hucking himself down waterfalls he likes to dabble with a little bit of blogging. So, we’ve snagged a little except from Shon’s blog that gives the lowdown on his most recent exploits:

“For Labor day weekend myself, Rush Sturges, and Ben Stookesberry decided to enjoy a leisurely day on the Upper Klamath. Its located about an hour and a half from Mt. Shasta which was perfect since we all wanted to make it back for a Sweatshop Union concert that night.

The concert was EPIC and we enjoyed a bbq with good friends. We all had a great time and were stoked to be kayaking and the Sweatshop rager was just the icing on the cake. Here is a little video of the run. Look forward to seeing everyone down at the North Feather Race in a couple weeks. Enjoy and make sure to watch in HD.” – Shon Bollock

Word on the water says Shon’s got a race coming up in a couple weeks, followed by two Shasta Boyz movie premiers. If you’re in their neck of the woods, you’re not going to want to miss ‘em.

Sanuk’s Shayne and Shannon McIntyre live the life most of us only dream about… They have been to more countries than our intern can even name. They have savored foreign delicacies that most noses don’t even get to sniff. Not to mention all the empty surf they stumble upon….

But, while it may seem like non-stop suntans and mai-tais, things can get quite interesting. Don’t worry folks, these family-first humans are professionals. Good thing our friends at Fuel TV are always there to document their travels for “On Surfari“.

In this new episode, the family jets over to Haiti to get a closer look at  what living conditions are truly like in the areas ravaged by January’s massive earthquake. Turns out Shayne and Shannon discover a completely different picture than one painted by news agencies. “On Surfari: Haiti” airs  this coming Monday, August 23 at 8:00pm ET (5:00pm PT) and telecast several additional times. Check it out:

Grab the remote and load up on the chips ‘n guac because this Thursday, August 19 (That’s tomorrow!) at 9:00 pm EST (6:00 pm PST) Sanuk big wave warrior, Shane Dorian, will appear on “The Daily Habit” along with charger Manoa Drollet and “Rules of Engagement” funny man Patrick Warburton.

“The Daily Habit” is a Fuel TV original series that airs every weeknight. Hosted by the hilarious Pat Parnell, the show is a mashup of the action sports that delivers the “best in pop culture with today’s top action sports personalities, cutting-edge music, product reviews, and comedy”.

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…

We love emails. No really- We do!

Why? Because, happy feet translate to happy fingers! It’s those fingers that type all the words that fill our inboxes. This week, our favorite appeared with the subject line: The Sanuk Miracle. Scotty B. brought it to us, and now we bring it to you:

My fiancé Nicole Marcy and I ride and race dirt bikes in Baja a lot, usually on multi-day trips with overnight stops at ranchos and mountain lodges. I always travel light and take what I can carry on my back: trunks, T-shirt and Sanuks. After 100 miles of riding, its always great to clean up and relax in some comfy gear. Sometimes Nicole rides and sometimes she follows me in a truck.

Coming off the mountain last spring, I lost one of my Sanuks when it fell off my back fender, where I had it strapped to my bike. When I stopped to take a leak about halfway down a 50 mile rural Baja route, I noticed that it was missing and decided to huck the lone flipper off into the canyon below. As I was trying to throw it, a feeling went through my bones to hang onto it and I didn’t want to litter the Baja landscape. I was bummed but strapped it securely to my fender again and continued toward Tecate.

We believe in miracles and that we have ESP with each other. I will marry her next month on the beach, and of course, I’ll be wearing “The Miracle Sanuks”. Thanks Nicolean Dynamite and thanks Sanuk! - Scotty B.  aka Breauxman

And they both lived happily ever after…

Keep those emails flowing, Happyheads!
