CHANEL N°5: The One That I Want - The Film

If you follow our instagram, you saw the above picture posted the other day, and we can't help sharing a little bit more of the story behind the photo. Stacey Eastman, Pulse Management President, loves surfing so much he moved his family to Hawaii so it could be a part of their daily lifestyle. So when we see anything involving surfing and the world of high fashion together? It is like someone else is speaking our language, that we didn't even think other people knew existed. When Gisele Bundchen starred in the campaign for Chanel No. 5 and there was a surfing element to the campaign, we were in fashion heaven, and in case you missed it the video is below. 

The only problem with this video is that the surfboards are custom made for the campaign. So we need one of our models to book the next Chanel campaign, and ask Karl to make us one. (Our models have worked for Chanel before so its not too much of a stretch.)

Stacey and Our Oahu Crew

Aaron, Honolua, Bree, Stacey, Shez, and Kelsey

Yesterday Stacey Eastman, President of Pulse Management, took a quick trip to the North Shore of Oahu to check in our our crew of models and athletes out there.  Fashion Show season is about to kick off in New York in a little over a week, and Stacey will soon be out there with out models for the shows, so he wanted to check in with our group in the islands before he heads out to the opposite side of the country.

Stacey met up with Bree Hanneman (model/scout/photographer), Aaron Jessee (surfer), Honolua Blomfield (surfer), Shez Hanneman (model), and Kelsey Hussey (a model that we introduced you to yesterday).  With Stacey located in Kona now, it is a quick trip to see this group and we are hoping to get some more momentum going on these amazing people, because the world needs to know all of them. Stay tuned everyone!

"Opening up of the Hawaiian Islands is going to bring many fruits to all. Hoping a short 30 min flight from Kona to North Shore and see what our amazing scout Bree has been doing is well worth the sunset flight home to my wife and kids. We are blessed. Mahalo Island kids." -Stacey Eastman

Congrats Hono!

Our girl Honolua Blomfield placed 2nd in the Pro-Division at the Duke's Waikiki Kane/Wahine Longboard Pro/Am.  The contest was a part of the annual Duke's Ocean Fest in Waikiki.  Hono placing second in the Pro division is huge, and we are so proud!  It must have been extra exciting for Hono to do so well in this competition because it is on her home island.  Congrats Honolua, it is great to see your hard work paying off!

MAJOR MOMENT MONDAY: Malia Murphey for Billabong

Happy Monday everyone!  I figure there is no better way to fight off the Monday blues than with some gorgeous beach shots of our model, Malia Murphey.  These pics are all from a shoot she did recently with Billabong.  In fact Malia is all over the Billabong Women's instagram page, and we love it!  For most models working with a company like Billabong is huge, but for a Hawaiian like Malia, it definitely qualifies as major.

 

Aaron Jessee is Living the Good Life

As everyone else is getting settled after the holiday weekend most of us are facing the colder temperatures and harsh weather of winter.  Not Pulse Management Action Sports' team member Aaron Jessee though.  Aaron is living the good life in Hawaii surfing and skating to his heart's content.  Aaron also gets to do cool things like this and this.  I guess the moral of this story is that its a good day to be Aaron Jessee, especially in the winter!

Throwback Thursday: Guess Who?

Ok, I can't even handle this week's TBT.  Is Aaron Jessee's curly hair and big smile not one of the cutest things you've ever seen? The only thing that could make Aaron's throwback picture better would be seeing that little guy on his surfboard.  We love posting these weekly throw backs of our models and athletes, and hope that you are enjoying seeing these pictures of them too.  Remember, if you want to just see the throwback picture first and try to guess who the person is, check out our instagram on Thursdays BEFORE you look at our blog.

Aaron Jessee from the Surf to the Streets

When Aaron Jessee signed with Pulse Management Action Sports, he probably had no idea what he had in store.  On his recent trip to New York City, with Pulse Management President, Stacey Eastman, Aaron had meetings, test shoots, and a little fun while doing it all.  Aaron is a surfer first and foremost, but we are pursuing a fashion/action sports hybrid career for him so he can support himself and his surfing!  Needless to say our clients loved Aaron, and his awesome hair, and we have a feeling there are a lot of great things in store for this San Clemente, CA native, especially after we saw the pics from one of his test shoots.

Hello Honolua!!!

If you follow us on instagram (@pulsemgmt), and if you don't you should, you have probably seen the pictures we posted of Honolua Blomfield.  She is the newest member of our action sports team, and we couldn't be happier to have her join our ranks.  Honolua is the 2013 ISA Junior World Longboard Champion, and she has won plenty of other contests lately too.  For more information on her, please click here for her bio.  It was love at first online video meeting for us with Hono, and we can't wait to see what we can do to further her career.  Welcome to the team Honolua, we think you'll like it here!

This week Stacey Eastman met up with Aaron Jessee on the North Shore to talk about Aaron's career and to catch some waves.  We can just call the beach our new conference room, because really who wouldn't want to have a meeting there?! We are excited about the big things we have in store for Aaron in both the fashion and the surfing world. Don't worry we will keep you posted on everything as it happens.  Happy weekend everyone!

Aaron Jessee Not Your Average Surfer

You may remember our other posts about Aaron Jessee, an incredible surfer that is signed to our Action Sports Division.  We decided to have Aaron leave his current home in Hawaii and take a quick trip to LA for a test shoot with one of our favorite fashion photographers, Rodney Ray.  After looking through these pics, we think we may have to yank Aaron out of the ocean and turn him into a male model! Not really, that would be a disservice to surfing, but we are thrilled his pics turned out so well because we are going to have clients lining up around the block to have this guy endorse their products.  A killer surfer with killer looks.  Nothing to complain about there!

Forever A Surfer - feat. Aaron Jessee

Check out this video of Aaron Jessee, who is part of the Pulse Mgmt Action Sports Division.  Nothing like a good surf video to heat up your chilly Monday!  To say we are excited to have Aaron as part of our Pulse Mgmt family is an understatement.  Wishing we were in Hawaii surfing with Aaron right about now.  But then again, who wouldn't be wishing for that?!

Pulse Mgmt's Action Sports Signs Aaron Jessee

Elephant Q-Tip from Hello Lucid on Vimeo.

Our Action Sports Division, Pulse Mgmt Action Sports, recently signed Aaron Jessee.  The video above speaks for itself.  Every single time we watch it we are in awe of the talent this guy possesses. We don't know what we love the most about Aaron, his surfing skills or his awesome hair.  Ok, it's the surfing, but the hair is a close second.  We are stoked to have you on our team Aaron, and we think this is the beginning of a beautiful partnership!
