Beached Days and Creatures From The Deep

Last night we took the short jaunt into Laguna Beach to check out two events. Beached Days is a new magazine from Mitch Abshere aka Captain Fin and the launch party was held at the ultra hip Thalia Surf Shop.

THIRSTY?

Our favorite Surfer Girl, Monyca Byrne-Wickey, is being featured in the latest Gatorade outdoor campaign. The image purchased was shot by A-Frame ace Jason Kenworthy. The campaign can be seen nationwide on billboards and most major sports stadiums. We’re looking forward to working on the next phase of this awesome campaign and will keep you posted as it develops. Between Nike and Gatorade, Jason has quickly established himself as one of the the “surf guys” making an impact in the commercial world. Now that’s G!

Surfing Heritage Foundation Announces Nike 6.0 As Sponsor For Spring “Light Table Sessions”

Back by popular demand, the Surfing Heritage Foundation announces the continuation of last years surf photographer slide shows with a new series for 2009, “Light Table Sessions” presented by Nike 6.0. The series of three shows is co-produced with the cooperation of surf publications TransWorld SURF, Surfing and Surfer.
