News From Osiris

After Tahiti I had a short break back home and went straight back to Australia for a surf/skate trip. Kinda in to the combo trips lately. Ee rented an RV and drove from Sydney to Brisbane skating all the parks we found along the way and surfing all the breaks we found as well. It was pretty insane, and the crew was rad. Along for the trip was Mike Morrissey, Aron Geiger, and Rob Brown. The trip was definitely fun, our RV was constantly stocked with beer and pb&j’s and a couple really strange porn mags. Once again we all had a good time and everyone made it back in relatively one piece. Until next time.

Another spectacular NSSA season has come to a conclusion. With glassy conditions in the morning, the wind picked up a bit throughout the day, but the waist to chest high SW swell couldn’t have made for more classic Lowers conditions. From Kolohe Andino being the youngest Men’s Open finalist ever, to Granger Larson and Nat Young making three finals each, to an Airshow Finals that saw three competitors donning Speedos, the last day of the 30th Nationals packed a ton of punch.

Osiris’ surf marketing manager, Eric Sorensen, decided to not only make a day out of surfing and beach clean up, but take it to the next level with free food, games and other activities so kids could feel apart of ISD and have fun.

The day was perfect, the sun blazing hot, perfect waves at 15th street and hundreds of surfers, families and kids were there to enjoy a day at the beach.

Eric noticed that there were a lot of families and kids at the beach and knew that with free food, product giveaways, and games that this would attract a lot of attention, so he decided to take a bunch of kids out surfing before he started the chaos.

Once the BBQ started the kids and families started lining up and were curious about what Osiris was there for. Not many people new about ISD, but once they were informed and saw the kids having fun and Osiris was giving back to the kids and the community, the buzz spread up and down the beach.

The day progressed and more and more kids and families were hanging out enjoying the activities, but there came a point when the fun had to stop and that was when Eric shut down by the police.

The event was a success and the police were supporting us through out the day for what we were doing for the community. Unfortunately it just got to big and the police said that they had to contain us. Eric accepted his ticket and then proceeded to the beach too clean up and feed people that were coming in from a day of surfing.
