‘Video’

In episode V of The Urchin Life, we get up close and personal with our top, team rider Randy Townsend. Townsend is the best example of a true, professional surfer both in and out of the water and we are proud to say that he is a representative of our brand. Much of this footage was collected from one surf/tow session in Barnegat Light, NJ while Cory, Jerm, Townsend, Dave Werner, John Clifford, the Urchins and our friends enjoyed some clean, fun waves….living The Jetty Life.

Jetty Team Rider & veteran skateboarder Ronnie Gordon just caught up with us and filled us in on his summer. You can check out Focus Skate Mag’s 10 Top 5’s to see what Ronnie is all about. You can also check out his new video for Keystone Skateboards!

This is a special Music Monday because we are using it to welcome the uptempo, power-trio Almost There to our family! These guys bought a Jetty shirt in Zumiez a couple of weeks ago and bam…the love affair began! After lead man Zach Sicherman contacted us, they came down and discussed why Jetty would be such a fitting sponsor and it really does make sense. They reign from Ocean Twp., NJ and have decided to record their debut, full-length album independently (without support of a major record label). Even after winning a couple of national contests, banking some large cash prizes and scoring a visit to Pulse Recording Studio in Los Angeles, CA there appear to still be some naysayers calling them lucky. Well, we don’t think so at all! These guys are super cool and incredibly talented. They are a great example of The Jetty Life as they are working hard to pursue their dreams! You can visit them on Youtube where they post a new, acoustic cover every Thursday, like them on Facebook and check out their brand new Jetty page here! We’re stoked on adding these radical musicians to our team!

In Episode IV of The Urchin Life, interns Kevin Rauen, Jeff Schill, Corey DeStefano & Mallory Hawes visit the historic Asbury Park, NJ! Enjoy! You can also view the previous episodes: Episode 1, Episode 2, Episode 3. All video courtesy of Tony Coon.

Here’s a quick update on Jetty Team Riders Ryan Boblits & Alex Grimes. Bobby Spero caught Boblits on a chill, little line @ Laurel Park…and below is a photo of Alex rocking the Wheelhouse on the 4th of July!

Underdog is playing the Asbury Lanes this Saturday so we felt it was apropos to post their only video! Since linking up with these guys, we’ve been able to skate with Russ Iglay quite a bit up in Belmar, NJ, dude kills it! We’re hoping to also get a surf session in soon with his brother Dean, who by the looks of this video, surfs smooth and with style! It’s refreshing to see that this band participates in the activities which have inspired them to write and play their music. Check out the flyer for their upcoming show here! Great guys, legendary vibes!

In this 3rd installment of The Urchin Life we profile one of our greatest customers, Farias’ Surf & Sport, where many of our great friends work in their 3 store locations on Long Beach Island, NJ. Farias’ has carried the Jetty brand from day 1! The Jetty Urchins have done a phenomenal job putting these videos together on a weekly basis and rumor has it the next couple will feature Team Riders Randy Townsend and Brian Bowker! Video courtesy of Tony Coon. Enjoy!
