Get personal, get creative, get on board shorts…

It’s always easy to buy your girlfriend gifts, but lets face it, gifts aren’t always easy to buy, especially when it’s for a guy! It is always difficult to shop for your dad, boyfriend, or brother. Perhaps already got them the cliché Ipod speakers and a new wallet., so what now? Let's think of something different for summer 2010, something that’s a little more personal and creative, check out Shortomatic line of board shorts. The company has a wide collection of unique, funky patterns on their website. Even better, there is a customize tab where you can personalize your own board shorts in five simple steps, within minutes! The website allows each and every customer to be an artist and design their own collection of board shorts. Customers can buy shorts that other customers designed and Shortomatics provides incentives to the designer. The shorts can be shown off anywhere in the swimming pool, hot tub, beach, surfing or just sunbathing at home. So get on board (shorts) and buy a pair, they're a great gift for Summer 2010.

Where In The World Is Christian Wach?

So to the avid Chaos reader, you may know Christian Wach already or at the very least the name should sound familiar. We featured him in a spread in last seasons issue. The California-born surf star who just graduated high school and already has literally surfed around the world (not to mention been featured in more than a handful of magazines) has most recently been spotted in the tip-top mountain tops of Norway. Aside from living like Beowulf, Christian has been interviewing with a guy from Outside magazine for an upcoming feature article.

In his blog, Christian keeps us posted on life in Valhalla including everything from mountain climbing fun to Viking ship expeditions and lots of tid-bits in between: playing rock band with his Norwegian host-family and taking snaps of shy little blonde Vikettes. Oh, and his little sly maneuver with Scandinavian Airlines was most amusing. (Although it would probably get you detained at any American airport).

Christian lives the kind of life that most people dream about, traveling the world, meeting new and interesting people, being interviewed for magazine features, but most of all, doing what he loves to do (which is surf-in case you missed that).

Now at this point, one can only guess where Christian will end up next, board in tow. Judging from this kids globe-trotting tendencies, you might as well just close your eyes and point to any spot on a map.
