Cool interview with HippyTree on Thaliasurf.com. If you haven't been to Thalia Surf Shop in Laguna Beach you are missing out. It's one of the raddest shops on the California coast. They sell tons of HippyTree duds online too. Click here to check out the interview. Click here to check out their online shop.

Australia eh... that's right. the Tree is expanding in the land down under. Check out Heritage Surf in Manly Beach, Ho'okupu Surf Shop in Byron Bay, Cactus Black in Warragul and Beach Without Sand in Avalon if you ever find yourself on a walkabout in Oz.

Some more "You-Fall-You-Die" photos from our Hippy Hunter contingent in Joshua Tree. This ain't for regular folk. Matus Sobolic and Matt Lloyd got this psycho monkey business down to a science.

Bula Bula... that's what Napolitano's email always says when he sends us pics from Tavarua. I'm not sure what the whole 'bula' thing means, but I'm guessing it has something to do with the fact that he gets barreled more than me or you. Photos by Scott Winer.

Posted a new cliff jumping section in our Archive. This ain't for the faint of heart. Our compadre David Meyers and his crew of Hippy Hunters have been cliff jumping and documenting the experience.

Wanted to throw a little congratulations out to our longtime HippyTree friend and supporter Ryan Heltzel and his wife Anya. They recently brought new life into this world by the name of Desmond Xavier Nartker Drake... yes that is some HippyTree mumble jumble coming from a dad who used to live in the old Hermosa Beach HippyTree compound with us... check out the 2007 Hippy dud he is sporting.

Burlap yo! According to Wikipedia, hessian or burlap as they call it in America is made from vegetable fibers. It was a popular material for camouflage on combat helmets back in Word War 2... learn something new everyday. We decided to use it for some screen printed banners. Pretty cool eh. We have a hat in our Winter Collection called the Pueblo made out of burlap too. Check it out here.

Couple tubular shots of the local HippyTree Tribe. Yeah, it ain't Andy Irons or Mick Fanning... but come on now, this is HippyTree. We still run this company out of a bunch of garages. We're just stoked to see some of our banditos getting a little tube time and reppin' the Tree.

Little storefront we rigged a while back at Spyder Surf Shop in Hermosa Beach. Spyder is fully stocked with the new winter line... so do yourself a favor and get some holiday shopping done before all the new duds are swooped up. And don't forget to check out spydersurf.com for a full selection of HippyTree duds available online... or visit our retailers section and find a Tree dealer near you.

Couple shots of Natedog from TLM hanging some artwork for a show that went down in LA a couple of months ago... yeah I know, running a little late on postings this month. Natedog has been backin' the Tree since day one (check out the shirt he is wearing). Thought it would be appropriate to give our fellow art bandito a little love.
