They make Turkey Sandwiches in Switzerland?

At least the mustard is authentic

The real reason I’m here is to see what Janelle’s been up to. Its been a few years since we hung out. Say hello to J (left) and her cuz, Sierra (right)

Sierra’s in town for a week for some R & R. During the winter, she’s a big pro mountain skier. On the off season she models for all the top agencies in the world. Wanna see? Here’s a gig she recently did

I met Janelle a while ago through our 686 previous marketing director, Brice. Back then she was just scrapping by doing post production work. She then graduated to editing music videos which led to television and soon after that, big budget movies. I guess in the entertainment biz, you go with the flow, but you also have to hustle and put up with a lot of BS. Being a woman in the biz, you multiply that by 10. Last month, I went to Coachella and the highlight of the entire festival was the Dre/Snoop/50/Eminem headliner. But the shit that really took it over the top was when Tupac showed up, literally!

Well, guess who was responsible for all of this? Mrs. J was.

As soon as this show went live, the entire universe was watching and TALKING, and TALKING and TALKING. She and her teammates at Digital Domain did something that no one has done before. I can’t tell you the secrets of how it was done, but lets say it’s a mix of the “old” and “new.” Dr. Dre and director extraordinaire, Philip Atwell call her their new girl. Tupac also says what up. Congrats J.

Fire!

All that aside, Elliott is a one of a kind dude. Check him out running our outline T and badge hat

This little thing cost $50 and can filter contaminated water into safe drinking water. $50 can save hundreds of people’s lives. Wanna learn more? Check out Jon Rose’s eye opening endeavor

I made my way from LA past the orange curtain and visited my friend Bob at Hurley for lunch. Of the many things we rapped about, was the need for clean drinking water, the current state of the industry and how Hurley’s roots are forever engrained from the Sea. Speaking about the sea, how about some sushi for lunch

My favorite, Albacore!

I think it's also Bob’s as well

After lunch, he showed me around their “campus.” Their global HQ is broken down into a series of department building pods with each area having their own personality. Take for example, the receptionist building is also their art gallery SPACE.

Guess who’s currently showing

Do you notice the constant theme at the campus?

CR Stecyk III has done more for skateboarding, photography and the art community than anyone I know

The creative and design building is located at the back of the campus, led by Bob’s son, Ryan. Take it from me, the place is pretty insane. Sorry I can only show you a little preview

Well, maybe a little more

They did some limited bikes last year with my friend, Eric who runs LDG. If you’re in the neighborhood, drop by and give Eric a high five

Did I mention they also have a building dedicated to music? A custom stage

A custom built recording studio (which NOFX just dropped by earlier this week)

Lots of cred to prove it

Go in the water. It's free and fun

Fun boards = fun times

All the buildings have limited access to them but I think Bob's office building is the most inspiring. I wish I could show you why (besides Bob's desk), but you’re gonna have to take my word that Bob's passion to Inspire the Youth, constantly Innovate, always Conserve, support Art, Music, and the Sea is a force to be reckoned with. Inspire the next generation. Pass it on…
