Jamie Anderson Rides A Gnu

by The Editors on January 26, 2011

Image-3

It’s hard to believe that even though Jamie Anderson has been winning pretty much everything she’s entered since she was 10 years old, that she just signed on as a “guest pro” for Gnu Snowboards (she’s been riding their boards for a while).

The South Lake Tahoe, CA-local is signing with GNU as the brand’s first “Guest Pro.” As a celebrity guest Jamie will enjoy all of the perks of Gnu pro status including fabulous photo shoots and parties in her honor. She’ll also have the ability to work closely with Gnu’s leading design teams in Carlsborg, WA to develop new snowboards that fit her style and make riding even more fun. . . “I love Gnu boards! They’re the best!” exclaims Anderson. Fellow Gnu rider Danny Kass says of Anderson, “Jamie’s a one-of-a-kind rider. She’s fearless on all terrain and pushing the boundaries of park riding for women around the world.”

Now she’s riding for Quiksilver and Billabong. Way to play the angles.

Wingnut Goes To Santa Cruz

by The Editors on March 2, 2009

Wingnut.JpgWe think of Wingnut every time we put on sunscreen (yes, it’s our cross to bear). Something to do with putting it on so it doesn’t loosen the skin around the eyes and cause early aging. It hasn’t worked all that well for us, but it seems to be working fine for Robert “Wingnut” Weaver.

The only reason we bring this up is that Santa Cruz Surfboards has just announced that they’ve hired Wingnut as their manager of sales. Here’s what Jeff Kendall, VP of NHS had to say:

Wingnut has proven his credibility as a consultant over the course of the last year, demonstrating exceptional industry knowledge and a tireless work ethic. With Wingnut at the helm, NHS is in a better position than ever to service the surf channel and grow Santa Cruz’s surfboard, Cruzer, and apparel presence.”

Congrats, Wingnut. . . and remember: dab it, don’t rub it.
