Hangin' out in Laguna Beach last weekend and some altercations went down between drunk people. Road cones got thrown at cars, bouncers got crazed, cops arrived, and I snapped a photo of this dude with an etnies shirt while the police lights blazed. Oh, the drama!

Following Jamie O'Brien's recent surf mag hat trick--getting the cover of all three major American surf mags (Surfing, Surfer and TransWorld Surf), plus a couple international ones in the last month--he won his second Monster Energy Pipeline Pro in his own backyard. etnies teammate Mark Mathews placed second.
In his Quarter Final heat, Jamie out-scored the likes of Rob Machado as he racked up an 18.25 score--the highest two-wave heat score of the event--highlighted by a 9.5 point ride through the green room.
Jamie pulled into the first set of the Final and emerged from the pit with an 8.0 that would stand as the top score of the Final. Two waves later a 7.25 would be plenty to take the win over Gavin Gillette, etnies teammate Mark Mathews and Rob Machado.
Mark was killing it! In the Final he caught the two biggest and heaviest Backdoor rights of the day and it almost payed off... those waves were almost a pair of 10's, but were reduced to a 6.25 and a 4 for second place when they pinched shut down the line. But it didn't matter...Mark reached legend status with his epic surfing in earlier heats, including a 10 pointer!
Congrats to both Mark and Jamie!

etnies & Pepper Contest!
Posted by: Brink | Friday, February 2, 2007
Kona, Hawaii's favorite sons make their long-awaited Atlantic/East West Records debut with their fourth studio album, No Shame. It's a bold artistic leap forward for the Island-born-and-bred, California-based trio. No Shame defines what Pepper is all about.
"No Shame is different from the other albums we've done because we had so much artistic freedom," says singer-guitarist Kaleo Wassman. "We had plenty of room to explore the range of possibilities of the band, which was so much fun to do."
With the band's trademark penchant for the musically unpredictable firmly in place, No Shame is indeed a tasty and rewarding blend of styles and sounds unlike anything Pepper has recorded before. The 18-track collection, which was recorded over the better part of a year, in a variety of SoCal studios with no less than 4 producers, is triumphant culmination of months of hard work that began on the road in the summer of 2005.
To celebrate the release of No Shame, etnies and Pepper are teaming up to give you some free goodies. Fill out the form for your chance to win a free pair of etnies, a Pepper CD and a Pepper T-shirt! Good luck!
