They create skateboarding and lifestyle shoes and hope to leave the company to their kids someday. The brothers, ages 50 and 41, respectively, have nearly 50 years of experience in the footwear industry between them, working at Vans, Converse, Supra Footwear, and Quiksilver, among others. AdvertisementBrandon: I had always drawn as a kid, but I didn't really take it seriously. Brandon: Of course, it'd be awesome to be a $200 million company, but do we need to grow it that big? Or do we need to grow it big enough to be a legacy company where eventually our kids work here with us?

☆ Rio Waida: He grew up with the world's best waves but pioneering Indonesian found surfing success the hard way
  + stars: | 2023-06-07 | by ( George Ramsay | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +7 min
Aaron Hughes/World Surf LeagueDespite Indonesia’s reputation as an iconic surf destination, Waida is the first person from the southeast Asian country to compete on the Championship Tour. “In Indo, we have the best waves and every day is good waves. I lost a lot before I qualified [for the Championship Tour]. However, disappointing results in Australia at the Rip Curl Pro and the Margaret River Pro saw Waida drop down the rankings. It’s tough, surfing against the best surfers … I have to give everything, there’s no easy road.

☆ Eliminated Slater handed wildcard to continue on WSL Championship Tour
  + stars: | 2023-04-27 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
The 11-times world champion will be able to surf and earn ranking points at the remaining events in 2023 and for the first half of the 2024 tour, the WSL said. "Slater's ranking points will also give him the opportunity to compete for provisional qualification for the Olympic Games Paris 2024," the WSL said. Slater was knocked out by Australian Liam O'Brien early in the Margaret River Pro last week, which left him below the mid-season cut line. Some surfing media criticised the wildcard decision, saying it was motivated by commercial considerations and made a mockery of the WSL's ranking system. France's Johanne Defay was also awarded a wildcard to continue on the Women's Championship Tour after falling well outside the mid-season cut.
