Nature's Wonder

I took a photo of a water spout over the Kona waters today with my iPhone. I was in awe as I witnessed this natural phenomena while checking the surf. This is as rare as seeing the "Green Flash" where a green light flashes as the sun sets over the ocean. So much of the ocean was blasted as this water tornado struck. All of this action lasted for a hot minute. A few hours later, I went Xmas shopping and it was the talk of the town. As you can tell, we don't get much action is sleepy Kona town.

New Organik Press

Organik was worn on the Fox TV show "Til Death" aired in October 2009. Doug was wearing the Organik "Timeless" design on the slim-fit Recycled Crew in Grey in the trailer scene. The new limited edition eco-flops made it Green magazine's Winter 2009 edition.



A Middle East fashion blog name dropped our flip-flops because it's a desert over there. These biodegradable slippahs are selling great in Hawaii. We only had a limited production run made so you better get a pair before they sell out.

Bamboo Scarves In Time For East Coast Blizzard

Fortunately, we don't get blizzards in Hawaii unless you're at the top of Mauna Kea during a NE storm. Yes, Hawaii does receive pineapple snow. We just received limited quantities of bamboo scarves in aqua, natural and black featuring the ever-popular, "Swallowtail" design.

These bamboo scarves are lightweight enough to wear in Hawaii, and YES, people do wear scarves in the Aloha State! Bamboo is super breathable and is soft around your neck. Protect YA neck!!!

You will be extra styling wearing your scarf with the matching eco-flops featuring the "Swallowtail" design.

Visit the Organik online store to purchase these limited edition scarves and enjoy FREE shipping.

We had a successful Photoglass event on Saturday with lots of friends, pupus & wine. The artists made some coin by selling prints, photo cards, and wine glasses for the holidays. We debuted our latest creation, the eco-flip-flops. We're holding Photoglass II this Friday Dec. 18 from 5-9 PM at the Green Room on Maiau St. next to Costco for those who couldn't make it to the premiere.

Welcome to the Team

Congratulations to our friend Duane DeSoto on his KITV appearance on Hinano's Standup World Tour. This ain't no Stand Up Paddleboarding AKA. SUP in calm lakes, but in heavy breaks like Teahupo'o in Tahiti known for below sea level waves and life threatening barrels. We collaborated with Duane and his non-profit group, Na Kama Kai, by giving proceeds of the Organik Identity graphic print tee to the foundation.

Na Kama Kai's mission is to empower youth by creating, conducting and supporting ocean-based programs, specifically targeting ocean awareness & safety in order to increase the capacity of youth in the community through cultural & environmental education.

Organik has its first official surf team rider, Erik Funakoshi of Maui. He rips on shortboards and competes on a longboard. With top finishes in longboard contests on Maui & Oahu, we look forward to supporting this young lad tear up the contest and free surf scene. Here's a pic of Eric rocking the Organik Timeless bamboo shirt while placing 3rd in the Open Longboard division in the Local Motion Surf into Summer 2009 at Ala Moana Bowls. Cheers to you Erik and welcome to the Organik ohana!

Class@ASR | Sept 10-12

It's been a month since we were at Class@ASR. The Action Sport Retail tradeshow in San Diego is the premiere surf and skate event. It was a whirlwind trip with a lack of photos, but you get an idea of the atmosphere. Class features higher end fashion/street apparel and accessory lines within a chic style setting complimented with a concierge, salon and massage center just next door to the surf and skate overdose. I flew from Hawaii to Los Angeles the morning of the start of Class. I picked up my rental car from LAX and drove straight to San Diego in 2.5 hours just time for the start. Luckily, we have Melissa, our L.A. rep, to thank for setting up the Organik booth the day before. We had a great corner booth location with high visibility and close to the bar with free cocktails. We stayed busy for the 2.5 day event with parties every night and lack of sleep. Class threw the opening night party on the rooftop at Hotel Solomar where I checked in. They hosted an open bar, delicious food with a carving station, DJs and a mermaid in the pool. This party was full of hipsters and partygoers crowded around the bar. When things winded down, off we went to other parties in the gaslamp district of San Diego. It was great to catch up with old friends and surf all over San Diego once the show was over. Next stop NYC.
