As a retailer in the surf industry for the past 21 years, I have had to use multiple sources to stay informed to the news within surf. Since the inception of the Executive Edition of Shop-Eat-Surf.com, I need only one stop. Thanks for providing such a valuable tool to all of us in the industry. Shop-Eat-Surf is a must read for all of our staff at Maui Nix.

Before Shop-Eat-Surf, there were two sites I paid for premium content on. One is Surfline, the other is the Wall Street Journal. One is about all things surf, the other, the best business content site in the world. Shop-eat-surf is the intersection of those two worlds. Shop-Eat-Surf provides everything from coverage of events, people, brands and trends. However, beyond the Executive Edition "wall" is more meaty analysis and interpretation of financial statements, business models and brand philosophies; why certain brands and companies are succeeding, where others aren't. The Executive Edition is a must have read if the business of surf and action sports are on your radar screen.

In the wake of the layoffs at Quiksilver and DC Shoes, a top DC executive has resigned.
Vicki Redding, senior vice president of DC apparel, has left the company over a difference of opinion after working for Quiksilver for nearly two decades.
Last week Quiksilver cut 125 jobs at Quiksilver headquarters in Huntington Beach, DC Shoes and the company distribution center in Mira Loma. The company is moving toward more shared responsibility between its brands in the marketing, design and merchandising, production and sales functions.
Click here to read our previous story about the layoffs at Quiksilver last week, and some background about the changes that have taken place at the company in the past year.
