The Pursuit Trailer 1 from Aaron Lieber on Vimeo.
The Pursuit is the first surf film on Blue Ray High Definition and DVD and features up and coming surfers from around the world. The film captures the drive that inspires us as surfers and human beings to take risks and keep getting back up on the board even in the face of failure. It demonstrates the raw passion displayed in a younger generation of surfers and is meant to resonate with the youth and encourage them to pursue their own goals and dreams both in surfing and life.

This One's For My Vegans...
by: Alex | Tuesday, July 22, 2008
Where my vegans at?! This one's for you.
So you wanna know which of our shoes are vegan? Lots of you have asked, and while I do enjoy spending my time sending the same email over and over... and over... it's YOUR time that I don't wanna waste. As such, we've added a new little vegan symbol to the site. Now you can browse all our footwear and rest assured that anytime you see that symbol underthe product description, it's totally animal-free and friendly.

Of course, it'll be smaller than that... more like this.
Here's a big fat list of our vegan shoes for Fall, but for future seasons and while perusing our fine wares, don't forget that the materials, and thus vegan-ness, vary between colorways of the same shoe so be sure to click each color. Thanks for caring about the beef!

Derek Dunfee's Broken
by: Alex | Friday, July 18, 2008
Derek Dunfee broke his leg but keeps on keepin' on...
So here is a little explanation of how I broke my leg:
While working as a boatman in Tavarua, I got pretty hurt surfing Cloudbreak. I got clipped trying to pull into a barrel ( the wave was only 8-10ft on the face) and ended up with a spiral fracture on the lower part of my fibula. I had to fly home to get surgery, and I got 8 screws and a plate put in. I already got my cast off, and I started rehab on my leg/ankle. I have been putting almost all my weight on my leg without pain, so I am sure I will heal fast. I have been rehabing my leg 3 times a week and working out everyday with my brother Shane Hurdman who is a personal trainer. With the way things are going, I will be out in the water in no time!
Thanks a lot,
Derek
