Where is the snow?

Hey,

So this week has been crazy busy....we now have a Flip Flop Shops opening in New Jersey, Columbus, OH and Tampa, FL!! Can't wait to start freeing your toes soon. You can keep updated on all the happenings with us at www.flipflopshops.com

I don't know about you, but I love this time of year! People are just plain nicer...it would be nice if the holiday spirit could carry-over all year....

The only negative to this time of year is waiting for the SNOW! During the Summer and Fall months, the weather is pretty decent and I can run, play in the water and get that fresh BC air in my lungs.....however, as we get into the Winter months....we wait....we wait...for snow to hit the mountains. My board is getting dusty waiting on the Snow Gods to produce and I am packing on the Winter weight.....SNOW PLEASE!!!

Happy T-Day!

Hey,

I hope everyone had a great Turkey Day! With everything crazy happening in the World today...we certainly have a lot to be thankful for over here at Flip Flop Shops.

My American Thanksgiving Celebration in Canada went off with a bang...literally...fireworks tipping over and screaming down the street (wasn't me if anyone asks).

I am thankful for my family, my biz partners, my friends, my girls, my wife...and the ability to keep living life with my toes exposed!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Free Your Toes!


I love our logo. Seriously....a flip flop floating in the ocean with the sunset behind it...anyway just sharing the love.

Canucks Won!


Hey,


So the Canucks won...wahoooooo! I'm sporting the Sanuk Dawn Patrols today. They are super comfortable and super warm. http://www.sanuk.com/ Check em!


Gearing up for Turkey Day...it has become a tradition up here in Vancouver for many of our friends and family. This year I will deep fry 4 birds for all to enjoy and provide plenty of good ol American beer. It is quite the compliment that 60 to 70 Canadians celebrate the holiday with me!
