All day long, people moved through it all — the tours, the art, the retail, the boardroom, the stage — and somewhere in that flow, Sunny California came alive in a way you could actually feel.
And the night ended the way it always should… together.
The Vibes Spring Issue Pick Up Party had all the normal feels with co-host Black Surf Santa Cruz, slinging 🌭’s, Selecta 7 setting the tone on the decks, and Ribsy’s Nickel making history as the first live act in the building to close out the night.
These days are really what it’s all about…
And none of it happens without the vision and hospitality behind Sunny California — truly, thank you for opening the doors and welcoming this community in. Feel like this is the first of many nights like this 😎
🎥🎞️:
This grand opening celebration was not what we were expecting. We heard from the founder of Sunny California, David McIntosh speak about what his vision was for this project and we think he nailed it. It’s not just a shop. It’s where community happens. We heard about the beautiful mission of Black Surf from Jadyn-Kathleen, the non-profits Community Engagement Intern. Vibes magazine, together with Sunny California, brought the vibes wayyyy up!! ✨
Get down to Sunny California to kick off your summer look. Bikinis that kill, cords that snuggle you on foggy days, and boards that carry you across the 🌊. They got you.
Vibes magazine. It’s more than just a magazine. It rallies our community together. To quote Brian in his editorial Opening Vibes, “and maybe that’s part of why something that used to come so naturally- a basic instinct of connection, community, just being with each other -can feel harder to find now”.
Community is seeing, doing, touching, feeling, laughing, and crying together. And we did a lot of that last night with our community. We encourage you to go out in your community and be together.♥️🤝
