While most known for his travel-inspired show, On Surfari, Shayne McIntyre, is a man of many talents. More dashing than George Clooney and armed with a proper cutback (a surfing term, NOT a sexual innuendo), Shayne travels the world with his family in search of surf, adventure and smiles.

So what does a traveling family bring on their many journeys around the globe? Let’s see… surfboards, gear, wax, trunks, supplies, entertainment for the kids, cameras, and of course- Sanuks- the ultimate travel companions.

This is where Shayne’s idea enters the frame (Pun definitely intended).

Shayne came to the our Creative Team with a novel vision- one through which he could share the sights he and his Sanuks see from the far reaches of the globe. Without further ado, allow us to introduce a new project near and dear to our soles called, Shayne’s Sanuks.

Chapter 1 comes to you from the McyIntyre’s current stomping grounds: Old San Juan, Puerto Rico.

To catch Shayne and his family in the act, brush up on his show, On Surfari, which currently airs on Fuel TV.

Shayne will also be appearing in an upcoming, side-splitting episode of SANUK NEWS!

Where will Shayne go next?

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:

Sanuk has had a few mad men end up on Surfline’s Greatest Wipeouts lately…. This time, it’s Chile’s Ramon Navarro. Ramon is known for pushing the limits with a big Sanuk style smile on his face. As an avid chaser of waves the sizes of skyscrapers, Navarro has come to learn that big waves are not so friendly depsite their sometimes perfect appearance. What once looked like a good idea, can quickly turn into a very precarious situation. In a recent feature on Surfline, Navarro retells a Chilean wave gone wrong… Brace yourself.

If Godzilla were a wave… You’d be looking at him. This spill is definitely one for the ages. Ramon gets gobbled up but that doesn’t stop him from keeping it classy. We could listen to Ramon tell stories all day. You have to love how his eyes just light up. If they made XXL waves out of positivity, there’s no question Ramon would be on it.

Sanuk’s Randy Leavitt is a man of adventure. He thinks it is safe to jump off Half Dome with a parachute, but doesn’t know how to fly a kite? Hmm…

Recently, Randy went for a strapless kiteboarding session in Long Beach, California. During his time on the water a huge gust blew Randy off his board, hurling him downwind. Randy’s board (turned head-seeking missile) spun at him “like an egg beater”. The fins “grazed” his dome piece slicing a 16 staple gash on the top of his head. Not too keen on chumming the waters for sharks, Randy decided it’d be a better idea to kite the 1/2 mile back to shore to snag some help.

According to Randy, the two hour drive back with a throbbin’ headache wasn’t exactly the best way to spend the day. Fortunately, the doc grabbed enough office supplies to staple him back up.

Randy says he can’t wait to get back on the kite. Maybe less fins this time… ouch!
