Sanuk’s Donavon Frankenreiter Sings, Surfs and Signs in Florida

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

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.

Well, things have concluded and it’s safe to say the endeavor was one for the record books. Below are some great moments on The Kings of Convenience Tour courtesy of Franklin For Short… Who came up anything but as they scooted from gig to gig.

Checking in with Musical Madman Seth Pettersen

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

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.
