Our friend Cyrus Sutton emailed us the trailer for his new surf film, Korduroy. We sponsored Cyrus' last film tour. He also makes climbing vids. Check out the trailer for Beyond The Wall below the Korduroy trailer. From surfing and bodysurfing to climbing and dropping out of society... Cyrus understands the HippyTree lifestyle.

Our compadre Matt McMullen has been waving the HippyTree flag in the OC for the past year or so. You can usually spot him banging lips on the Southside of the pier or tending crops in his backyard. Check out HippyTree's plant seeds project to find out how you can get a free HippyTree t-shirt from growing your own plants.

Yeah, we posted a shot of Shon Bollock launching himself off a waterfall the other week... and here he is again on another one. Hailing from Mt. Shasta, Shon either has a death wish or a knack for not landing on rocks. Action photos by Ryan Knight.

5th Annual International Surfing Day is tomorrow... for all you lazy bums and workaholics who always have an excuse for not getting wet, tomorrow is your day to grab a stick and catch a wave. We will be shredding it up at the HippyTree Reef just south of the Manhattan pier if you are looking for some company or feel like getting snaked.

Cranked out a tour poster for our musician friend Joe Firstman and band. They are playing tonight at Cafe Boogaloo in Hermosa Beach. If you are in the mood for some original jams mixed with a little bit of blues check it out. This is their last LA gig before they hit the road on tour. More info at joefirstman.com.

We will be kicking it with the HippyTree tent at the Dman Festival this Saturday along with the rest of the surf industry weirdoes. I'm pretty sure there is going to be a beer garden along with four of the South Bay's finest reggae bands... did I mention we will be giving away plenty of free swag and stickers.

Groms rule. This is Max Allen who heads up the HippyTree Palos Verdes grom patrol. He isn't old enough to drive... but he rips.

This is our friend Matus Sobolic. He's a chain smokin' Slovakian whose got some serious cohones. It's kinda hard to see in the 2nd photo below, but if you look closely he is climbing this rock in Joshua Tree with no rope. They call this "free soloing" in the climbing world... I think they should rename it to "You Fall You Die."

Received an email from Bryan McCluey the other day that read "levitation nation JAH." I would have to agree. Bryan obviously has the JAH connection and some previous growing experience considering the size of these sunflowers. Nice job Bryan, your shirt is in the mail. Check out our Project Sunflower section to find out how YOU can get a free HippyTree t-shirt by planting some seeds.

HippyTree shredder Jon Hoover has been slashin it up SD lately. He's on the San Diego State University surf team which recently won the State Championships and is ranked #1 in the nation heading into the National Championships happening this June. Good luck Jon... keep smacking the lip like this and you shouldn't have any problems.
