Another December... another chance to give back. This year's etnies Holiday Festival welcomed hundreds of kids to the etnies Skatepark of Lake Forest for an afternoon with Santa and the pros. Nick Garcia, Devine, Alex Midler, Brophy, Twitch and Chris Del Moro joined in the fun with skate demos, Santa portraits, arts & crafts and new shoes for all! Yeah, the free etnies are always a crowd-pleaser, but these kids REALLY loved high-fiving Santa as he pushed past on his skateboard. That's our kind of crowd... Thanks to all the kids for giving us a reason to get into the spirit of the season.

After smashing into 1st place in the 2011 etnies tube rider challenge, etnies UK surfer Tom Butler has continued to seek out some big challenging, dangerous slabs around the UK and Ireland. On a constant vigil for deep low pressure systems, Tom continuously chases the best swells and has captured this slice of cold water magic to get you amped.
Freezing cold winters are not a thing to be afraid of according to Tom. This is heavy duty hardcore British surfing at its best. Grab a cup of tea and put your feet up…

Submitted for Wave of the Winter, this was just another day for JOB. Watch the full vid at Surfline.

Thank goodness it's summer somewhere... days are shorter and colder around here, but Sally and summer down under are turning up the heat in the latest issue of Stab Magazine.

Head on over to Surfline to see this article featuring etnies flow rider Pat "Mini Meat" Schmidt.
