Congrats to Marty Thomas for leaving the Action Sports Group and getting back to Hawaii to work with Randy Rarick on The Vans Triple Crown of Surfing. Seems like a perfect fit.

“We’ve come a long way in 27 years and Marty is the latest testament to that fact,” says Rarick. “The Vans Triple Crown of Surfing is pretty much a year-round operation these days, from planning to execution, and Marty will be an important addition to the executive team as we continue to grow the series for future generations of surfers and surf enthusiasts around the world.”

Mr. Thomas will be the Managing Director of the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing and be responsible for directing ” aspects of the series: pre-promotion, execution of events, and liaison between the North Shore community, contest surfers and ASP staff.”
