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.

Hawaii Conservation Conference | July 29 | Hawaii Convention Center | 12 - 7 PM

The annual Hawai‘i Conservation Conference, presented by the Hawai‘i Conservation Alliance, is the largest gathering of people actively involved in the protection and management of the natural environment in Hawai‘i and the Pacific Region. The conference facilitates interaction among resource managers, the scientific community, and other stakeholders. This is an annual opportunity to share experiences and ideas on a wide range of conservation issues affecting Hawai‘i and the Pacific.

Climate change is a profoundly important topic for Hawai‘i. We are just beginning to understand the magnitude of changes that will impact our lands and seas, water resources, cultural heritage, residents, agricultural areas, and infrastructure. Many of our island neighbors in the Pacific already have been measurably affected by climate change and their experiences presage what's to come here in the Hawaiian archipelago. The conference will highlight the current state of knowledge on climate change impacts and foster a dialogue on adaptation and mitigation strategies for Hawai‘i's natural and human communities.

Organik will be a vendor at the event. Visit us at the Community Sustainability Market, Room 306B and Charlot Courtyard this Wednesday.
