TNT Surfboards:
Tim and the crew at TNT are the ones that make it happen for you. I don't think most people really understand the conditions that surfboard builders work in or the sacrafices they have to make to do something they truly love. We owe these guys a ton of respect! Tim runs a solid operation and has an outstanding level of quality control, building boards we proudly put next to the best of the best. We are proud and stoked to have crossed paths with TNT and to be engaged in a partnership of doing something great. A huge thanks goes out to Tim and his crew....especially for putting up with all my BS!

David Halloran - Creative Solutions:
David is the shit! We've known David since he was a little padiwon, now he's a full blown Jedi and master of the creative arts. This well built, functional web site is a product of his creativity and skills. Believe it or not, surfboard manufacturers are not overflowing with cash flow and David has always made it possible for us to go beyond our financial limitations. Thanks D!

Surf Aid International:
Surf Aid International is one of the most humane and noble groups you can find. If any of you have ever traveled through Indonesia, specifically through the Mentawai Islands, you might have a small clue as to some of the problems that plague the indigenous people of that region. Surf Aid is focused on getting the proper immunizations to that region to improve the general health and mortality rate. The mortality rate for children currently stands at 50%…need we say more? AKA is supporting Surf Aid Int’l by donating one dollar for every surfboard we manufacture. If you can spare just a few dollars it will help more than you think.

Movement Clothing:
Movement is the definition of ignoring the corporate "surf industry" world and following a path that can only be described as grass roots. Jason, the founder steered clear of "big name" riders when they wanted to partner up and take Movement to the mainstream to stay true to his movement....much respect!

Atoll Adventures:
I was sitting in Mainland China, I'd already been there for a couple weeks on business. Thinking ahead I had my coffin with four boards in storage at the Hong Kong airport...the only question was, where do I go? Indo, Fiji, Phillipines, Maldives...etc. I had pretty much decided to go check out the Maldives and I was one click away from confirming a booking at Lohifushi island. Then I got a phone return call from Ian at Atoll and he screamed into the phone "NO MATE DONT DO IT!" He talked me into staying at Dhonevelli with his partner Tony and he said he would be there in a couple weeks to meet up with us. Long story short....macking surf for three weeks, 13 people staying on the island and only 10 surfers. Lohifushi had over 80 surfers staying on the island at the same time. Ian saved my ass and in the end I've got a whole new family in the Maldives, I've been back three times since. Tony, Iboo, Dara and friends...Love you and hope to see you soon.

SurfShot:
Felipe and the team at Surf Shot have worked long and hard to bring the local surfing community in San Diego a solid online channel to view surf reports, forecasts, local rippers and of course...the daily bikini shot, oh how we love the daily bikini shot. As if that wasn't enough they decided to rule the free magazine market and come out with a high quality free mag that covers last months swells, interesting stories, local rippers, local businesses and yes, the bikini shot. Keep up the good work fellas.

Juan Marante :
This guy is a bad-ass-mofo. When we have the need for Pen art, Juan Marante is the man. Not only is he extremely talented in all areas of art from graphic design, illustration, photography and fine art he’s also reliable. Reliable? We know, its almost unheard of…a reliable artist. We’re stoked to have met Juan and to have him available to paint boards for us and we’re even more stoked cause he’s cool as hell.

Hansen's Board Room:
Hansen's was the very first shop to support our movement, a bold move for one of the most prominent surf shops in the country. Since the beginning of our relationship with Hansen's we have steadily grown to be friends and strong supporters of one another. This is the kind of business we would like to do all day long.

Greenhouse Boardshop:
Think you're down with you're shit. Okay, stop by Greenhouse Boardshop and grab yourself a new 8'6 cali gun and a bar of frigid wax, then paddle out at one of the local beach breaks when its 20' at 15 seconds....then we'll see how tough you are. In an area that doesn't have a "cool" surfshop on every other corner, Jess and his team are filling the gap quite nicely.

Cinnamon Rainbows :
The east coast board slingin machine! Cinnamon Rainbows is THE source up in the far north east. Phil from CR is quite the shredder considering the surf out there goes dormant for months at time. If you're ever in the shop be sure to check out the 5Star shapes by Sashi. Phil...see you in Indo 07!
