Press Release:
LAKE FOREST, CA (January 26, 2012) – etnies is excited to welcome Matt “Wilko” Wilkinson to its surf team! Wilko charged his way into the top 30 ASP Men’s World Ranking and warmed people’s hearts with his vividly designed wetsuits and wild ways of life, making etnies proud to call him one of its own. He is celebrated with this video edit: https://etnies.com/blog/2012/1/26/wilko-lands-on-etnies/

“Wilko is an incredible talent,” said Mike Regan, Global Brand Director. “He’s the perfect fit for etnies. His style and personality align well with our brand. We’re very happy to have him and can’t wait to see him surf the 2012 ASP World Tour.”
