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.

Press Release:
Last week, Volcom held its annual Volcom Bowl Shop Battle with 36 of its favorite retailers from Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego counties.
There was a prize for best costume so all the stores stepped up their games and came in hot, according to Floris Gierman, Volcom’s Sr. Director of Retail Marketing.
The Spyder Beach Bums and Laguna Surf & Sport Mexicans both won $100 as runner ups for best costumes, and the San Pedro Surf & Sport Ravers danced away with $300 cash for best costume – and all the cash went straight to the bar for more beer.
