Surfing Club Collection | Endless Summer Living by the Waves
Endless Summer Living by the Waves The 30° sun on the coast, the water droplets sliding down the outer wall of the carbonated beverage. Feel the rough sand barefoot, and the inner strength brought by the surging waves.Walk into the depths of the sea, lie on the board and wait for the waves to come, hear your slow breathing, and hear the echo of the silent world. Look directly at the head of the board, keep an eye on the wave wall, how long the wave is, what trend it is, left or right. Feel the moment the wave comes, all the strength of the body is concentrated at this moment. Stand up, dive from the height of the wave wall, get a larger initial velocity, and then turn at the bottom of the wave, so that the water flow can vertically hit the surfboard, get acceleration, and lift up again to the height of the wave wall. No matter how many times you come back, you still want to stand up again when you are exhausted.The moment you are pushed out by the sea water, sway and dance with the waves. Immerse yourself in the rhythm of the waves, rise and fall with the waves, and feel the flow of the sea water under the board.This is the long-awaited summer, where you can freely bathe in the sun, swim in the ocean, enjoy the thrill of surfing, and show off your graceful figure. Seize every wave of the moment Surfing is also an extreme sport of "rushing forward", but it is different from skiing. The ski slopes and platforms are always the same. The level you can reach depends on how you train and hone your abilities. But surfing is different. It is very random. You will never get two waves that are exactly the same. Each wave has its own rules and temper. The sea always gives us some unexpected surprises.So why do surfers surf? Perhaps it is because they are obsessed with its uncertainty, and also to become a bigger part. No one knows whether the next wave is good or bad, but no matter what the wave conditions are, at the moment of deciding to go to the sea, the surfer has already achieved physical and mental integration and accepted everything in the sea. Do not preset the ending, and do not seek to change the status quo. This sport is like a life mentor, guiding people to break through the status quo, constantly approach their own hearts, stimulate the most primitive wildness, and teach people to wait patiently for the opportunity. If you miss this wave, then wait for the next one.The ocean always has such a charm that makes people throw themselves into it without hesitation and become a part of it. In short, there is no way not to look forward to the orange sunset and surging waves in summer. *Click the image to view more sneakers Continuous attempts and changes "MAKE SOME CHANGE" Like the unpredictable ocean, in the ever-changing world, PandaPrank is eager to find strength in the ups and downs, bravely stand on the surfboard, and calmly accept adventures and challenges. When the waves come, enjoy the pleasure of surfing. When you fall under the board, face the setbacks that sweep over, and calmly tap into your inner strength to turn adversity into the driving force for our growth. The salt in the sea water cannot dissolve our persistence. We just defeated a wave, but when the next wave comes, we still start from 0, not afraid of new attempts and changes.You can't stop the wavesBut you can learn to surf. The ocean will never be completely calm, but we can learn to live with the wind and waves calmly, control and enjoy the summer melodiousness brought by it.PandaPrank takes surfing as the background and American retro style as the base. Inspired by summer island elements, highlighting the comfortable and leisurely holiday atmosphere, surfing elements are presented on the second creation of sneakers. Use gradient colors to create a coast to create a special "Surfing Club" for summer.

The Wave Angler | Azure Encounter: Fishing Adventure
One person, one rod, riding the waves forward. A slightly distant blue, cool yet vibrant with life. The blue coastline where the sky meets the sea, with waves crashing freely against the shore, holds an immense, unimaginable energy. This vast expanse is a treasure trove of inspiration. Dependence and reverence coexist subtly within the human understanding. Blue is the sky, the water, the air, the depth, and the infinite. It is freedom and life. — Yves Klein Set out towards this blue to seek the indigenous. Clear weather is perfect for sea fishing. Prepare the bait according to the right proportions, link the fishing line to the rod, and pack the tackle box—everything is ready. The boat leaps forward, slowly leaving the shore. We need to move beyond the shallow waters to depths over 30 meters. Practice casting the line towards the unknown; the bait gradually sinks into the sea. The variety of species the ocean offers is like a mystery. Without retrieving the line, we'll never know what we might catch. Immersed in a vast stretch of time, temporarily abandoning the city's rules and labels, what flows before us is not just the wind and waves but also a continuous, positive transfer of energy. Coexisting with nature, living in harmony with all beings. We live on a blue planet dominated by oceans, where fish were born long before our sunrises, frolicking in the water for hundreds of millions of years. Now, with declining fish populations and unbalanced ecosystems, the ocean faces numerous problems. It serves as a clear reminder of the creatures lost to plastic waste. We must balance the relationship between nature and humanity. What we take from nature should be returned to it. Every beach clean-up and every release is a continuation of nature and life. Everything is born from the sea. These small acts recorded on our journey remind us that the Earth's 71% ecosystem needs everyone's protection. Gazing at the endless waves, whitecaps fragrant with the sea, I won't forget that moment—it was as if I saw the whole world. Boundless, breathing calmly, blue and perfect. In this dialogue of mutual sensing with the ocean, we actively build bridges between commerce and environmentalism, using creativity and brand power to explore a unique path towards sustainability.

Spring Series | Embracing Nature and Coexisting with the Wild - Exploring the Footprints of Wildlife on a Plateau Trek
The Qilian Mountains, located at the intersection of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Inner Mongolia Plateau, and Loess Plateau, is a life peninsula bordering the Sea of Death, surrounded by deserts on three sides. Snow-capped mountains, grasslands, valleys, forests, and cliffs - life is born and dies here. In late winter and early spring, as the snow melts, various precious wildlife can be found roaming the valleys. We slow down our outdoor exploration and follow the footsteps of the park rangers, using our cameras to capture the habitats of animals and freeze their movements, feeling the rhythm of life in nature. The natural spirits of the plateau possess an inherent magic that can move anyone who sees them. We concentrate on setting up equipment to capture the moment of the animals' lives. Snow pigeons often inhabit high mountain cliffs and can be seen soaring in the sky above the bare rock valleys and cliffs in high-altitude areas. A group of yaks wanders into the valley, with several smaller ones chasing and playing. A lone yak nearby quickly notices us, with its sharp eyesight warning us to stay away from the herd. Unlike domestic yaks, wild yaks, the largest species in the Qilian Mountains, live on the top of remote mountains, with black hair, raised tails, and hard horns that make them look even more robust and powerful when running. Solitary wild yaks have extremely strong attacking power and are a dominant presence in the plateau. The snow leopard originates from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and is a soulful species of the Qilian Mountains, at the top of the food chain. Their thick and soft fur has good insulation, reducing friction while moving silently. Snow leopards usually patrol their territory in steep mountainous areas. Park rangers set up infrared cameras in places where snow leopards may pass by to record their movements. Occasionally, snow leopards may also come down to the pasture on the mountain. We were lucky to find a snow leopard on the grassland, lazily lying on the grass, with a proud yet somewhat silly expression. We guessed it was taking a break after hunting. Blue Sheep also live between the cliffs, and we observed a dozen or so of them moving among the rock walls in the mountain gorges. Blue Sheep have camouflage colors like mountains and rocks, making them hard to detect without careful observation. Blue Sheep are the snow leopard's main food source and are also a common species in the Qilian Mountains. The number of rock sheep also affects the survival of snow leopards, and the prey that snow leopards hunt is also an important food source for other animals on the plateau, playing a crucial role in maintaining the local ecological balance. Reducing human interference has made the habitat of wildlife more extensive in recent years, which is due to the unremitting efforts of many people. To devote oneself to the protection of wildlife and plants, one needs the guidance of passion and mission. The park ranger, Garideng, who accompanied us on this journey, guards this habitat day and night, and his seven years of patrolling have enriched his life with meaning. Pandaprank hopes to draw attention to the action of wildlife protection and the concept of environmental protection through our perspective, making this journey everyone's journey and giving everyone a preliminary understanding of the Qilian Mountains National Park. The complex and fragile ecological system connects and nourishes life, and the power of protection is gathered here. With its nourishment, the story of life will be renewed.

Wilderness Series | Extreme Adventure, Cycling and Mountain Exploration Together
As humans progress forward, they leave behind a wilderness in their wake. Despite the passage of time and distance traveled, nature always finds a way to pull people back into its embrace. From Ulanqab northward, vegetation gradually becomes sparse until it reaches desolation.Overcoming obstacles, adventurers venture into the wild and encounter a massive volcano that seems to roar and stir up the earth beneath, as if a giant beast is lurking. The vast expanse of desert, hills, and plateaus explored by adventurers will redefine the boundaries of the everyday world. The stories of pioneers begin here.At 15:47, we arrived at our destination, surrounded by cliffs, canyons, and gullies in the vast Gobi desert. From near or far, the scenery is spectacular, with few signs of human habitation. There are not many supplies along the way, and cell phone signals are intermittent, but we were fortunate to have brought enough water, food, and equipment to handle any problems on the road.The changing terrain is like the mysterious language of the desert, and for me, it’s a significant challenge to navigate between the mountains and strange rock formations while feeling the traces of life in the outdoors.What's more important than filling the emptiness of desolation is what we choose to fill it with.When facing difficulties, emptiness, or desolation, it's crucial not only to focus on the problem itself, but also to choose how to respond to it. This means that people have the power and responsibility to decide how to respond to challenges in life, to choose positive attitudes and actions to improve the situation, rather than passively accepting the situation. As Santosh Kalwar said in "The Wind Sand Stars," "We taste the festive passion and joy, but in reality, we have nothing. We are accompanied only by wind, sand, and stars."Perhaps urbanites who are too constrained can choose to return to nature's embrace, to feel the breeze, heat, and sweat of cycling on their skin, and make some changes. Outdoors may not have signals, but it has a more authentic connection. Let's embark on a journey together into the unknown possibilities beyond the everyday.
