Our casa is your casa! The etnies suite at Casa Surf is part of the Riviera Design Series. Former world champ and etnies chief, Pierre Andre, started his early pro days on the beaches and boardwalks of SoCal where he lived out his dream on the concrete wave. As the only skateboard company included in the Casa Surf Project, etnies is proud to present the etnies Skate Room:

Our Shoe Scrap Headboard is a colorful mosaic made from footwear pieces used in the etnies STI Lab research and design process.

This ceiling art, an orignal work by Mike Manzoori, is called It's not where you're going, it's how you get there. To create it, Manzoori dipped his wheels in paint, hopped on his skateboard and did what does everyday.

The Skate Free Mini Bar is stocked with four completes, each a pro board from an etnies team rider and all available for guests to cruise around Laguna Beach for the day.

You can see even more photos from Fuel TV's Carleton Curtis.

We've got new digs in Laguna... check 'em out and check on in! etnies just completed its custom suite as part of the Casa Surf Project at Casa Del Camino Hotel. Skate-inspired and eco-friendly, the room has everything from a headboard made from recycled shoes and water-saving bathroom features, to a poured concrete sink shaped like Chicken's old pool... fully skateable with the included Tech Decks. More pics and details to come... for now, see what Boardistan and ESPN have to say about it.

When you're known as The Don, that some OG respect... So how does JP keep things fresh and free of severed horse heads? How about a steezy new NBD fully switch video part and signature footwear to match? JP's signature Screw adds some fresh Walker flavor to the classic etnies mid-top design. And around here, we love us some freshies!

Have you seen JP's part yet? Well there's tons to talk about and JP got with ESPN to do just that. Also, I heard that if you play the video backwards, there's some sort of secret message... something about the Wizard of Oz and Pink Floyd... er something.

Today, JP Walker is back on The Habit to talk about his film-smoking new part in “This Video Sucks.” Plus, the young snowboarding extraordinaire, Matt Ladley, drops by the studio. Also, we take it over to New York City for the Nixon Art Mosh to check out the creative mastery of guys like Grant Ellis and Rob Machado.

When he's not shredding the slopes, Wille's got a new place to serve up some freshness! He just opened an operation called Heart Roasters to provide the good people of Portland with some fresh ground coffee! Check out pics from the opening party on YoBeat. Congrats, Wille!
