2010-08-03T02:06:00.000-07:00

Listed below is the NSSA press-release showing Brennan as one of the many student athletes who excelled in school (he’s listed on the top of the 4.) group.

NSSA Announces the 2010 Surfer Scholar Award Recipients!

Also, Brennan has been invited to compete this year in the Surfing America Prime series which is the gateway to possibly earning a position on the US Surf team if successful, a goal any young surfer would aspire to accomplish.

Way to go Brennan! We are excited to so that you are achieving great things inside and out of the classroom!

Are Designer Sunglasses Worth the Price? Wall Street Journal article

2010-08-03T01:34:00.000-07:00

We all have wondered from time to time about designer sunglasses and what is so special about them. When I say designer brands I mean high end brands like Louis Vuitton, Prada, etc. which a pair can run nearly $500 give or take a hundred or so and that is not even with prescription lenses. Celebrities wear them, no surprise because they have the money or the brands give it to them, along with well to do socialites who can afford a pair. To an average person, like you and I, is it really worth it to buy a pair? What can we gain from it?

The only two reasons I can think of is that first of all, they are designer name brand. People buy them because they are associated with a certain brand and that association perhaps denotes a certain 'social status' or an elevated 'style.' The second reason, is the quality of the sunglasses themselves. I can maybe understand the price if the pair of shades is constructed of gold plated titanium, with turtle shell details, and the highest quality light-weight polarized lenses. All complete with a leather case with suede on the inside and lifetime warranty. Even then that is a stretch and the quality will not matter they are so happened to be stepped or sat on.

Here is an article from the Wall Street Journal about the value of the designer sunglasses. Here

Honestly speaking, there isn't a single brand that comes to mind that has the same prices and quality as Kreed and Crush sunglasses do. Nothing better than a great quality return for the price!

Kreed and Crush in Transworld Business

2010-07-15T17:59:00.000-07:00

We've all enjoyed the Kreed and Crushes (the womans line) sunglasses and have benefited from the great quality and style along with an unrivaled affordability. Where else can you find good polarized sunglasses for under $50? It's not often one gets a look of what goes on the back end of a business. Here is a glimpse from Mark Lohrbach, Vice President of Fortress (parent company to Kreed and Crush), on what we can expect this year and the next.

Bail Out: Summer Fun

2010-06-24T19:06:00.000-07:00

If you really love the look of the classic Ray Ban WayFarer, there is a good chance that you will like Kreed's Bail Out. It has the same retro look with more of a modern touch to it. With the classic frame, the Bail Outs have a 'narrower' look to it (the modern touch), which is good for those who have high cheek-bones (like me) and who don't like to have the bottom of the frame rest upon them.
I gave a pair to my friend Sean who told me later that he loves them and that he'll wear them everyday at his summer fun job.

Another alternative of the same style is the Pay Ups which is closer in design to the Ray Ban WayFarers.

Here are a couple of pictures of Sean rock'n the Bail Outs. Get your self a pair here.

"An epic and incredible day of racing as the DP Racing warriors overcame adversity and other Baja challenges to take 4th Place in Open Pro Class 22 in the Tecate/SCORE Baja 500 off-road race. Congratulations to A.J. Stewart, Bryce Stavron, and Jesse Casillas for being the first non-factory team in their class and 10th Overall motorcycle.

Kreed x Oahu North Shore Lifeguards

2010-06-14T21:09:00.000-07:00

"In the North Shore's seven-mile stretch of some of the world's best surfspots, there are five full-time lifeguard towers.

"It's like we're sitting at a red light, just waiting for an accident to happen," said veteran lifeguard Mark Dombroski, 56, who has worked on theNorth Shore for 35 years. "You just gotta do the best you can to control the situation, but in reality, the situation is out of control. On a good day at 'Ehukai, with clean conditions and overhead surf, there could be up to 500 people in the water. That's not counting the hordes of spectators on the beach."
HonoluluAdvertiser.com

Mark Dombroski, head of the North Shore lifeguards, (famous father of our favorite Hawaii Crush girl, Brooke Dombroski) and the North Shore Lifeguard Association wear KREED polarized eyewear as their polarized eyewear of choice! The North Shore lifeguards understand how important it is to have glare reducing polarized sunglasses for their life saving profession and they wear KREED polarized eyewear because they love the product and it works for them. This adds HUGE credibility to our already great polarized eyewear collection and testifies to the fact that you don't have to pay $100+ to get the same eyewear that ranks with the best in both fit, polarization and optical quality! Look for a special announcement in association with the North Shore lifeguards and KREED polarized eyewear coming soon!

Summertime and the livin's easy... especially with the LTD-5's

2010-06-07T20:55:00.000-07:00

I've been wearing these Kreed LTD-5's for a couple of weeks and I have to say that I really love it. These are the perfect summer shades and let me tell you why!
• First, they are polarized. Polarized are the best especially for the beach be cause they cut down the glare significantly. With polarized lenses you can see straight through the water which is important for lifeguards. Also with the glare gone it allows colors to show brighter. No reflected glare and brighter colors = WIN.
• Secondly, the LTD-5 doesn't make the world look like night. I've worn shades where the lenses make everything seem like the sun is setting at 2 in the afternoon. These shades have it just right.
• Lastly, they are sturdy yet lightweight. Working as a lifeguard I've found that heavy sunglasses take a toll after several hours of wearing them causing headaches and a sore nose bridge. I don't even notice the LTD-5's even after wearing them for the entire day!

Get yourself a pair of the LTD-5 at the Kreed store website!

Kreed in upcoming Soul Surfer movie

2010-05-08T20:44:00.000-07:00

We recently heard from actor Deon Hallum that he's been rock'n Kreed sunglasses while being filmed for the movie Soul Surfer. You can see in the photo below that he's wearing our Fortress model. He has one major scene acting as a camera man to a Fuel Tv reporter who asks Bethany a big question.
Deon has also been work with NBC on a new show called The Event where he also has been wearing our shades!

Soul Surfer is a movie based on surfer Bethany Hamilton, who if you haven't heard lost her arm is a shark attach. Despite the sheer difficulty (actually near impossible) of surfing with one arm, she was determined to keep surfing. Today she is still surfing professionally. The movie Soul Surfer is set to be released sometime in 2011.

Thanks for the love Deon!

Kreed's Got Your Back

2010-04-19T14:37:00.000-07:00

So the story is this guy Troy came in the other day and he had a pair of Kreed "Cash Flows" on that were totally taped up. It's not that he can't afford a new pair, he just loved them so much he couldn't part from them so he made do. Sean hooked him up with some new pairs when he came in.

Here is Troy's testimony:

Hey, this is Troy and I had the Kreed "Cash Flows". Even though I have several expensive pairs of sunnies, I always turn to my "Cash Flows'" first.I like the way they look and feel (so does my wife). being a 4wheeler, I have put these things through the paces from throwing them around to dropping them. They have always held up great until I accidentally sat on them with ALL my weight. Needless to say they broke. I was so bummed and was not ready to "let then go" so I grabbed some electrical tape and bandaged their wounds. Just the other day I stopped in to see Sean from fortress and after he noticed that i was wearing broken Kreed sunnies, he offered me a new pair. What a guy! Even though I had broken them from negligence, he was kind enough to replace them. I have always been a big fan of Kreed's eyewear from look to function to durability, but can say that their customer service ranks up there with the best out there. Try them on for size, you won't be dis-appointed...

San Felipe Baja 250 Race Update:

2010-03-14T11:20:00.000-07:00

JCR Honda is the unofficial winner of the class 22 Motorcycle division. The 3x Honda team of Colton Udall, Jeff Kargola and Johnny Campbell was first to the finish line after a very tough 248 miles in the Baja desert. JCR’s 1x bike solo’s by Kendall Norman was unofficially third overall.

KREED eyewear is Johnny Campbell’s preferred eyewear brand and KREED is proud to support the JCR Honda’s crew! Shown in the photo is Eric Siraton, Johnny’s “master bike builder” in the KREED LTD 2’s and Tom “TJ” Jones in the VORTEX “Grimy” with Blue Mirror lens. The JCR team’s favorite styles are the KREED Underground, Cash is King, and the KREED Polarized LTD series. TJ is a huge fan of the sports style sister brand to KREED called VORTEX eyewear. TJ spends so much time driving, chasing, and working on logistics and bikes to finish the tough Baja Score races and VORTEX eyewear gives him the full protection and coverage that he needs to help him to him to the finish. Look for the VORTEX sport styles to grace the pages of our website soon!

KREED eyewear is proud to be the eyewear sponsor of the DP Racing team. These guys are a perfect test bed for KREED eyewear as they are in the sun all day. DP Racing has numerous Baja championships to its name and fielded a Honda CRF450X at this weekend’s SF 250 race with two young guns, A.J. Stewart and Bryce Stavron. Team manager Seve’ Bourgeois always puts together the best San Diego area talent and a very competitive class 22 race team. DP racing won the 2009 Baja 500.

The KREED eyewear offroad team is currently down for the running of the 24th annual MasterCraft Safety Tecate SCORE San Felipe 250 in San Felipe, Baja, Mexico this weekend. Fresh off the press are some cool pics of the crazy contingency/parade through downtown San Felipe and some of the great folks that are part of the KREED squad along with some San Felipe local flavor and shots of the beautiful Gulf of Mexico.

We caught up with Ed “Clyde” Stout and his team in the #13 Chevy Silverado during contingency at the San Felipe 250. Ed and his crew wear the KREED LTD series and KREED is stoked to help Ed and his team keep protected from the bright sunshine as they spend days on end driving and racing in the varying conditions of the Baja desert. As of this posting, Ed was running very well and in the hunt for the top 10 against the best off-road drivers in the world. Look for more information on Stout Racing and results as they become official.

KREED takes on the desert and wins!!! Other styles shown in the cactus garden of the “El Cid” restaurant are the Hoodlum, the Underground and the No Mo Viagra in White. All great for styles and favs among the racers!

Check out the newest KREED team member in his LTD 5’s. Mr. Sombrero

KREED basic wrap styles such as the McGarrett with blue mirror lens being worn by our friend Diego at the local juice bar keeps him covered under the sun.

Also Miguel in the KREED Recruit (passing out racedezert.com maps to the fans) are definitely popular styles among the racers and fans as these folks know how important it is to have the best quality sunglasses with UV protection and good coverage!

Mr. Sombrero says “When in doubt, lift it!”

Ohmega Watts makes it happen...

2010-01-12T18:40:00.000-08:00

Recently, Ohmega and I (Vince) connected in between his holiday travels coast to coast. We bumped fists during his short visit to the LA area.

This humble brother is crazy busy with projects that stimulate and inspire. Mr. Watts is filling his calendar these days with creativity in many forms. We all know that he's an international musician, MC and DJ that's asked to juggle beats and rhythms from here to Japan...but along with that he's producing new music with other artists, sharing his music in film and commericals, taking photographs for an upcoming project, doing graphic design for various clients and finding the time to just have a cup of coffee with his friends. (or nachos in SD...thanks, man!)

I took 5 minutes to snap these stills in a grimy alley in West Hollywood. He's hyped on his Kreeds!

Enjoy his sites:

If you're in San Diego on January 10th...support REVO!

2010-01-04T20:38:00.001-08:00

YOU ARE INVITED TO REVO SD ART SHOW: A NIGHT FOR STREET ANGELS ON JANUARY 10TH AT THE BONDI RESTAURANT AND BAR IN DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO. COME AND CELEBRATE LOCAL ARTISTS AS WE HELP STREET ANGELS TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE IMPOVERISHED YOUTH LIVING ON THE STREETS OF SAN DIEGO!

A movement:

An etymology on "revolution:" (Latin) re- back + volvere roll, orbit. To revolve is to complete a cycle of, to become. It involves a change. REVO is simply our way of saying: we'd like to change the world through rolling, orbiting, spinning, cycling, becoming: loving.

Based on the concept of LOVE, to live the REVO everyday is to think beyond ourselves and redefine our modern conception of necessity. It is taking a homeless man out to dinner. It is smiling your best smile at a young pregnant mother, scared of her growing stomach, a child herself. It is seeing beauty in the disfigured, seeing wholeness in the lame, seeing a dance in the invalid.

REVO is a movement we can all grab on to. It connects you to a young orphan, and a young orphan to you. It connects you to hurricane Katrina, to the rain-and-storm in California, to the students at Virginia Tech, the War in Uganda, sex slaves in Thailand, to Turkey, to the ends of the earth. REVO gives every person the opportunity to help make the world just a little bit better, a little more livable, a little less fearful for those who haven't eaten in days, or slept in a bed, with pillows and sheets.

The people:

We tell the story of orphans, of women whose stomachs swell from rape and young children dying of AIDS. There are social injustices and sad stories tucked away in all of the world, stories of illness and poverty, hunger and abandonment, fear of every waking moment, fear of tomorrow. So many of us can? And want to?! Proffer help to those who need help, yet most of us don't know what to do or where to begin.

There are many notable organizations dedicated in doing great things? They are digging wells in tribal villages and setting up health clinics. REVO wants to help these organizations and ensure that they have the funds they need to execute these dreams. With the donations we gather, we can contribute to what these organizations are already doing. We are not limited by geography; we are not interested only in Africa. We want to help wherever there is helped needed.

An invitation:

There are REVO branches in Hilo, Honolulu, in California, Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, Nevada, Tennessee, New York, and Pennsylvania, hosting art shows and raising awareness of both global and domestic issues. It is wonderful that people from all over the country are joining the REVO dream of changing the world, wonderful and powerful.

If you'd like to start a REVO in your city, or help out with an existing REVO, please contact us by visiting www.startarevo.org and/or www.revosandiego.com
We welcome your participation. START A REVO!

Kaiwi Berry's insight from the last big swell at Waimea: 12/5/09

2009-12-22T22:20:00.000-08:00

----aloha,

Here are some photos from the last big swell at waimea, 12-5-09.
The waves were fun, not too crowded. The next day me and a couple friends drove our jet skis from Kaneohe to Kahului harbor Maui. It took us about 6 hours, about 100 miles, maybe 98. We were hired by red bull to do water patrol at jaws for the team.

12-7-09:
9 am we showed up at the circus, about 40 teams towing, boats in the channel, photographers all over, 3 helicopters, hundreds of people on the cliffs. I was on the sled and my friend was driving the ski. A surfer went over the falls on about a 15 footer, his partner went to pick him up, they got caught by a wave, flipped their ski and it was headed for the rocks. They needed help, so we went in to pick them up. my partner grabbed the surfer, passed him to me on the sled and somehow he pulled the kill-switch which shut the jetski off. The next wave hit us, flipped the jetski and sent us to the rocks. I could still see the ski and decided to swim over to it, taking a few whitewaters on the head. By the time I got close enough, the ski was already on the rocks and completely totalled. I ended up climbing the rocks, walked around the bay, then had to swim back out into the channel with no fins then eventually got picked up by another ski. =( (Attached are 2 photos)
12-8-09:
Finally caught a few waves and still have no photos to show for it! Haha!

aloha, kaiwi -------

BUT HE WOULD NEVER BRAG, BECAUSE HE'S ONE OF THE NICEST HOMIES AROUND NORTH COUNTY, SD!

He's down with Kreed! We love seeing the "K" logo on your SUPER Brand SURFBOARDS, Kory!

I ran into him today while strolling down the mellow streets of Encinitas and he gave me these pics to remind me that he's likes to surf;)
He rides for Hansen Surf Shop, Super Brand Surfboards and Ambiguous Clothing.

If you see him around town, stop him and say hello...he'll wave back.

Dang...who says Kory needs to have his fins IN the water?

REVO Oahu Benefit Show with Invisible Children on 11.14.09

2009-10-27T21:45:00.000-07:00

Revo Oahu needs your help. They sent me this to let ya'll know what's up:

"Ever wanted to be a part of a movement, a cause, a REVOlution greater than yourself, but didn't know where to start? We all want to change this world somehow but many of us just don't know where to begin. But REVO helps give every person the opportunity to make this world a better place. It is a movement we can all grab onto.

What started as a small benefit show in Hilo, Hawai’i in 2007, has now grown into a global movement.

People all over the U.S. have started their own REVOs in states such as California, Louisiana, Tennessee, and New York, as well as in Canada and Guam. They’re hosting art shows and raising awareness of both global and domestic issues. And now, REVO has gone full circle and is hosting another event in Hawai'i, where it all began.

On November 14, REVO Oahu partners up with Invisible Children for a benefit artshow and film screening for "The Rescue."

Invisible Children's mission for "The Rescue" began in 2003 when three young filmmakers, Jason Russell, Bobby Bailey, and Laren Poole, traveled to Africa for an adventure. But little did they know, what was about to come, would change their lives forever. They witnessed a tragedy where children are both the weapons and the victims. Thousands of young children have been abducted and trained to become child soldiers.

Their abductor: JOSEPH KONY, leader of the LRA (Lord's Resistance Army), who also proclaims to be a "spokes person" of God and a medium of the Holy Spirit.

The LRA is a rebellious military group that stands strongly against the Ugandan government and have participated in tragic amounts murders, abductions, mutilations, and sexual enslavement of women and children. They have abducted over 30,000 children and have killed over 1.6 million people since 1987.

These children need to be saved. RESCUED."

Cruising with Fitzy!

2009-10-20T19:01:00.000-07:00

Today I got to roll to a few accounts that carry Kreed and Crush Eyewear with our LA and partial-Orange County sales rep, Mark Fitzgerald. It was a fun day just catching up, visiting some new spots and constantly scheming up side projects that we could do if we had infinitely deep pockets:)

Check it out...I took lots of pics. I ain't no pro snappy photog; I just wanted to document it for fun.

---- Vincent.

The game plan was to meet Fitzy at 7:45am at his spot in Costa Mesa and hit the road.
Coffee is HIS friend. NOT mine.

Carpool is rad.

When we exited the 5, this proud AMERICAN had these kind of decals ALL OVER his Chevy truck. Wow. I was surprised that he didn't have a Confederate flag strapped to his antenna. He did have an American flag though. He drove away before I could snap a photo of it.

First stop BIOLA UNIVERSITY in La Mirada.

Welcome to the BIOLA Bookstore...

The Kreed reps are awesome at servicing the racks, filling in product and cleaning it up to make it look all shiny!

She was working the front cashwrap and even SHE was interested in the sunnys.

Go RED EAGLES!!!

Check out this cool piece of school pride Stephanie from the bookstore gave me!
This is a bobblehead of the school's former president: Dr. Clyde Cook. (RIP) One of the raddest things I've gotten from college. THANKS LILIA AND THE CREW AT BIOLA!!!

Back on the road on the way to LA...we were wondering how those dudes are able to bomb their graffiti on underpasses and on the freeway signs...Crazy.

What's up LA Times...

USC Main Campus...Cardinal and Gold!

This place was HUUUUUUGE. 4 Stories tall. Everything you need. Seriously.

The infamous Echo Park. Beware of that water;)

Props to my peoples. Are there really any filipinos that live here??

USC Medical

We poached a parking spot.

Keck School of Medicine of USC

What a weird spot in the middle of KECK to have a volleyball court. I wanted to ask that girl to rally with me. She was super cute.

Notorious? Big Poppa? This Street was down the way from Keck School of Med

Off to the coast! Santa Monica, man.

Mark's cell phone minutes dwindling away.

Getting artsy near the SM Promenade.

Diane's on 7th and Wilshire in Santa Monica

That's what I'm sayin'!!!

Mark wanted to try on some bikinis but I stopped him;)

Diane's Beachwear's Amanda trying on some fresh, new Crush eyewear.

Fitzy & Amanda. She was running that spot. Sorry for the blurry pic. I must have been distracted by the shiny swimwear.

Final stop of the day: Santa Monica Surf Shop at 2934 Wilshire Blvd.

Some of the coolest, simplest shirts I've seen in awhile from a surf shop. I'd wear it for sure!

Below: Owner Jon Monroy enjoying Kreeds. Thanks Jon!

It was a day full of running around. That's how we do it!

Kreed Surf Team Rider Brennan Aubol update!

2009-10-19T09:03:00.000-07:00

Stoked to see how Brennan's doing!

Here's what the 12 y.o. from Carlsbad had to say:

Hi everyone,

Well, it's that time of the year again, not Christmas, that surf contest season starts.
To start off the 2009/10 season, at the end of August I surfed my first NSSA
contest up in Oxnard and placed 4th in the finals in bombing waves. I have
surfed a few more events up in the Gold Coast NSSA events and am currently in
5th place overall.

Continuing in September, this past weekend (9/19&20) I surfed Saturday in an
NSSA Jr. in Huntington Beach and got 5th and the next day, I surfed a WSA
event in Ventura and also got 5th in the finals. I am currently ranked 3rd
overall in the WSA boys under 14.

Thanks for all your continued support!

--Brennan Aubol

Sunshine Kids at Waimea!

2009-10-01T07:08:00.000-07:00

Last Tuesday we were super blessed to be able to sponsor an event put on by the Waimea Bay Lifeguards in collaboration with the Sunshine Kids. These are teenagers from all over the country who are battling cancer and are given the opportunity to take a little vacay (away from their parents) to HAWAI'I! How awesome is that?!

Sunshine Kids' Mission Statement:
• The Sunshine Kids Foundation adds quality of life to children with cancer by providing them with exciting, positive group activities, so they may once again do what kids are supposed to do . . . have fun and celebrate life! (source: sunshinekids.org)

Lifeguards, professional big wave surfers, local North Shore watermen, and friends joined to give The Sunshine Kids a fabulous (and safe) day at the beach. We played in the ocean with boogie boards, stand-up paddle boards, longboards, and other fun floatie toys. Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational competitors Mark Healy and Noah Johnson were there to sign autographs, and we were able to get several sponsors to provide goods for a stacked prize packet for each of the teens. Clark Little even showed up with his fancy water camera housing to shoot photos of us in the water!

Such a blessed day, stoked to have been a part of such a great day!!
ALOHA!!

Thanks to Brooke out in Hawaii for the info!

Cardboard Identity by Josh Thompson

2009-09-12T12:59:00.000-07:00

Josh Thompson, a Carlsbad local, is compiling a very special book that you must see.
His plan is to travel around the country to document the plight of the homeless in our own backyards.

In his own words:
"cardboard identity is an attempt to document the people that make up over one percent of the population in America. These are the people that live without a house and without the guarantee of a meal. These are the homeless in America. Some people call them bums, hobos, drunkards, vagabonds. I call them real. This is what I want to portray in this book. Real stories of real people.

Please do not enjoy this..."

You can donate to his cause so he can complete the book. Go here for more info and to see how to donate. Get uncomfortable.

Makapu'u to Moloka'i

2009-07-29T06:35:00.000-07:00

We thought we would share this story with you guys... Thanks Haunani and Crew...K

"Hey guys thanks again for the shades, they really were great to have on the sail. i've attatched a few pictures from the sail to Moloka'i. It was a really good sail,and we were blessed with good wind. We left Makapu'u at sunrise and made it across the ka iwi channel in about 4 hours. The whole sail took about 10-12 hours each way. At sunrise we used the sun to figure the direction of the wind and swells to help us cross the channel. We sailed with a few older and experienced people but our crew was mainly made up of younger people, the youngest being 17 and me being the old lady at 22. We stayed on Molokai for a few days and helped with a sustainabilty conference, and got to check out the island. It was really a lot of fun. Well I hope you guys enjoy the pictures and thanks again!!

Take care, Haunani

o yeah there was a really friendly monk seal that was cruising around where we docked, i think its illegal to touch them but it was so cute."

Our friend Jeremy Wright has been getting some killer waves down in the Cook Islands these days. Also, thought we would pass on a note he wrote... check it... k

Hey Guys, Lots of things have been going on since my last update! I went to Kauai to help with camp Anahola in the middle of June. It went really well. Helping with all the kids was a blast! We got to go to the beach everyday, workout, and just stay busy. The kids learned a lot of new things and it was sweet! The second stop of the USBA tour was at sandy beach on Oahu. The event took place on July 4th and 5th. I got 4th place in my round 2 heat. I think this was my worst result in 3 years! I went into the event confident and ready to back up my 5th place result at the US open but it just didn’t go my way. I was really bummed but am really looking forward to the last event the Jenks Pro in September. I am in the Cook Islands and it has been AWESOME. The best trip ever! We have been getting lots of footage with Eric Schnitzler the guy who made The Drift DVD. We are filming for his next DVD along with a couple other people who wanted footage of me for their DVDs. I also have been shooting photos with Danny Hernandez from the Canary Islands for a few magazine articles. I will be here for another four days and then off to Australia for a little over three weeks! I will be very busy there meeting up with some photographers, videographers, and maybe entering a contest! Be sure to subscribe to my newsletter it will be the first edition of “THE WRIGHT TIMES” You can subscribe by going to www.jeremy-wright.com and entering your e-mail on the homepage. YES that easy.

Thanks for all the support!

E.J. and The JEVER SUP World Cup

2009-07-17T07:00:00.000-07:00

We at Kreed want to give props to Ernie "E.J." Johnson for the 3 day international Stand Up Paddle race that took place in Hamburg, Germany July 10th-12th. As one of the 20 pro invitees, E.J. finished 5th in the long distance on his 12'6", and 6th in the sprints...

We thought we share his message as well, "I recently competed in a world class event representing my sport of SUP. What an Honor, for me to be involved in this first time event, representing the U.S.A! Thanks to my friends and family and sponsors , for their support over the last two years of racing. Special thanks to Wardog and Debbie from StandUpPaddleSports for their moral and financial support.

Mahalos
E.J"

Thanks EJ, and thanks for Rockin Kreeds! k

My little buddy Taylor decided to make some art out of the Kreed stickers I gave him. Good job kid...

His favorite quote that I taught him is "My papi has a beard!"

It's true...his dad has a beard.

their marketing people did good on this one.
