As an emerging influence on the global surf scene, Thom Pringle is equal parts surfer, explorer and artist. At 20, his creative thrust is perfectly aligned with the RAEN family according to Creative Director and Founder Justin Heit: \u201cThom\u2019s love of fashion and his authentic perspective fuel a soft-spoken passion for surfing and the creative aesthetic we identify with personally. He\u2019s a perfect fit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thom lives on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, and continues to define his own brand of big airs while laying concrete for the family business and hunting down genuine experience with an unsettled, nomadic fervor. In addition to sponsorships from Vans, Brixton and now RAEN, his wanderlust has led him to appearances in a number of films, including a revealing documentary from Riley Blakeway called Thom. A Portrait of Modern Youth.<\/p>\n<p>While Thom splits time between the US and Australia, he\u2019s admittedly troubled by time unfulfilled, which means when he\u2019s not pushing his creative boundaries, he\u2019s mapping out the next journey. As Heit welcomes the newest member of the RAEN family, he says he looks forward to the adventure as Thom continues to grow as an artist and a surfer.<\/p>\n<p>To see the world through the eyes of Thom Pringle, check out RAEN\u2019s welcome video HERE.<br \/>\nFor an idea of what Thom\u2019s aesthetic sounds like, check out his Thrillist playlist: https:\/\/vimeo.com\/49288947<br \/>\nFor more information on Thom and RAEN Optics, visit http:\/\/www.raenoptics.com, or connect with RAEN on Facebook and Instagram.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Raen Optics has announced that surfer, explorer, and artist Thom Pringle as joined the company as it&#8217;s newest ambassador.
