Keep The Samoa Entries Coming!

If you didn't already enter the etnies Samoa Surf Contest, or just plain want to enter again, get on it! Entertain us!

And the Weiners Are!

This is one of two submissions from the same kid in Portugal. He also sent the water fountain photo below on the right. Not only were these the two funniest efforts, they also were the best efforts that didn't use Photoshop. I mean, he got down to his undies and humped a statue in public for the cause. At least this kid gets out of the house.

It wasn't easy, and it took longer than we thought, but here's the winners of the etnies.com Crazy Photo Contest and some explanations as to why they were chosen. Thanks to all who entered, lots of you made us laugh. There will be plenty more contests to enter in so stay tuned. One side note: You winners are about to get some email from us with details on how to claim your prizes. If we don't hear from you in two weeks from the day we send the email, we have to pick another winner. Slacking=forfeiting!

Submitting one photo good enough to get our attention is no simple task. But this guy sent two bangers in, hence earning himself first place and three pairs of etnies kicks. We also like that, other than skating, the only stuff on his brain is sexual and toilet-related hijinx. I wonder who drank from this fountain after the photo was shot?

Most Photoshop entries were kinda janky, which actually makes them really funny. A "doggy front blunt" down a nine-stair rail is pretty damn sick. And hilarious to boot. Yes, the dog is wearing etnies. I think we might even sponsor him. I wonder if he landed it? Is that a skateboard or a toboggan he's riding? This effort earned a pair of etnies.

This photo has nothing to do with skating. I'm not sure it has anything to do with anything. If it was two horses or cats mating, it sure as hell wouldn't have been as funny. It won a lot of votes because it was the randomest, funniest scenario submitted to us. Who even knew llamas rocked etnies? Homeboy only wins one pair of etnies, so he's gonna have to buy a pair if he wants to hook up both llamas.

Once again, horribly done in Photoshop, but brilliantly primitive and downright funny. Blowing fire out of your ass while wearing Artos. Classic. One pair of etnies for you my friend, just keep them in a fire-proof area!

Nixon Surf Challenge!

a jet-lagged Malloy

On September 16-18, 2005 in San Sebastian, Spain, for the sixth consecutive year, 24 of the world’s best surfers will make their way to the Basque shores of San Sebastian, Spain to take part in the invitation only, Nixon Surf Challenge.

This event is a far cry from other high stress competitions where points and rankings count for everything. The Nixon Surf Challenge is a gathering of friends from across the globe and an event that has become a haven of good waves, calm atmosphere and relaxing fun in the hectic calendar of professional surfers.

The Nixon Surf Challenge judging format is itself unique with the invited surfers scoring their peers performance in the semi’s and finals and where free surfing is encouraged and style counts heavily. There are no individual wave scores and no contentious outcomes. The event is held over a three-day period, with ample time to wait for optimum conditions.

Last years Surf Challenge winner, Tiago Pires agrees, “The Surf Challenge is a contest done with a lot of love in one Europe’s most beautiful cities. It’s a completely different competition and it’s difficult to imagine anything better.”

In a world where the pressure of competitions often takes over the pleasure of a passion, it is sometimes good to remind yourself why you surf. Fun, family and friends.

Welcome to the Nixon Surf Challenge.
