On the 12th Day of Christmas... @culturebrewingco ... Culture it’s more than just beer. Culture is an idea. An idea that we are bot all that different from each other and that art, community spaces, and yes...beer too can bring us together. That is why Culture embodies the ethos of the neighborhoods we call home through art shows featuring local artists, fundraisers, and community events. But also by brewing beer Sykes that anyone from beer-novice to beer-nerd can enjoy!

On the 11th Day of Christmas... @mitchsnorth ... One of our local Surf Shops of course! In 1967, while still in high school, Mitch sprouted a tiny business in an old house on Pearl St. in La Jolla. He began selling board building materials and core essentials to the eclectic and influential Windansea/La Jolla area surfing population. As surfings popularity grew so did the shop’s size, product availability, and reputation as it soon became a cultural hub for the areas diverse surfing personalities. In the early 80’s Mitch again addressed the need and demand for a foam blank wholesaler in North County San Diego and began stocking blanks, resin, and cloth in the back of a nursery on Highway 101 in Solana Beach. This outlet would again gain momentum and become what is now Mitch’s North. These days they are the oldest surf shop in San Diego and are still dedicated to providing the county’s shapers and surfers with the best products and best informative advice they know to give. They strive to be the catalyst for the continued art of surfboard building by making anything needed to make a surfboard accessible to anybody who has an interest. Their shops products, board selection, and customer service reflect their conscious, collective effort to support and embrace all the good things in surfing!

On the 6th Day of Christmas... @un.mar.de.colores ... We wanted to give a shout-out to an amazing Charity Un Mar de Colores. An event that inspired inclusivity in surfing by celebrating diversity and the very thing that connects us all. The ocean. Through a celebratory day in the water, they aim to bridge the socio-economic gap in the surfing community by providing accessibility and creating an inviting and inclusive space for personal exploration and expression. In doing so, individuals nurture confidence, community, and cultivate a lifelong passion for ocean stewardship!
