Welcome to comfy side of life, where the grass is always greener! Here at Sanuk, we make innovative footwear for fun-lovin' comfort-seekers around the world. From grin-inducing flip flops to patented sidewalk surfers, we put the funk in funktional. Smile...pass it on!
Last night at the Maui Film Festival, Sanuk debuted its new film “A Different Reason to Smile” as part of an incredible benefit event celebrating Operation Smile. The evening helped raise funds for the organization’s amazing work to provide free surgeries to children born with cleft lips and cleft palates.
The film itself follows a classic crew of Sanukers including pro surfers Matt Meola, Alek Parker and Torrey Meister as they experience a surf-trip beyond convention and immerse themselves in a volunteer mission in heart of Peru.
Don’t miss the ONLINE WORLD PREMIER this Monday, December 17th exclusively on TransWorld SURF. Until then, get a glimpse and get involved at www.sanuk.com/opsmile
This summer, Sanuk’s crew of delinquent desk jockeys set out to pay tribute to all the nine-to-fivers out there just working for the man and wishing for the weekend. You know who you are. Same shit, different day. Sanuk’s Imaginarium submission is dedicated to you and all the other underdogs and working-class rippers locked away each day in the three-walled prison cells we call cubicles.
Tired of the mundane water-cooler talk, the incessant phone ringing, your boss’ bad breath, the keyboard clicking, and the cackling hens in accounting? Of course you are. That’s why it’s time to break free of your gray flannel jail and discover the oasis you truly deserve.
Let’s chalk one up for the regulars, the early birds, the deadbeat janitors, the number crunchers, the copy-machine cowboys, and even the taco-truck lady who rolls in every day at exactly 11:35 a.m. Let’s chalk one up for every person out there with unfulfilled dreams of a better life. Let’s chalk one up for a vacation from normality. Let’s chalk one up for happiness.
If all you’re getting barreled in is a sea of paperwork, then it’s time to make work your beach. After all, even the worst day in the water is better than the best day at the office.
Surfing used to mean something. Seems like all we see these days is fancy boys dancing on the water like damn ballerinas in fancy-ass boardshorts with $300 dollar haircuts. What happened to cutbacks? Where is all the vertical re-entry three-to-the-beach aggression? Kids these days should be studying and taking notes from their elders. Instead, they’re playing grab ass on whatever new fangled video game techno diarrhea shit shows they got playing on their flat screen pocket televisions. Don’t give us that drop wallet tail chuck full rotation bullshit if you don’t really mean it! If you’re gonna do a flip, do it with some conviction god damnit!
Cut the crap and surf like you mean it. Grab surfing by the balls and twist it like a crocodile dragging a baby goat to its death! If you’re gonna surf, do it for real—it’s time. Let’s surf seriously!
