The US Open of Surfing

The custom iPad app for Pacsun made big waves when it debuted at the US Open of surfing in Huntington Beach, CA.

The Digital Experience

The interactive app was displayed on eight iPads at the PacSun tent so that users could download music and watch exclusive videos in person during the event. When participants used the app on the iPads to "like" PacSun, they received a free download of the original summer music playlist, including songs from bands like Young the Giant, Strange Talk, Little Hurricane and more.
