Another year, another winter, and another season of me complaining about how I wish I was some place warmer. Some place I could surf, at least the [Vans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vans-x-queer-surf) Vault Surf Shaka Pack is here to appease my longing.

Breaking out the [Jim Phillips screaming hand graphic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vans-otw-x-undercover) and employing it on a variety of different styles, the Vans Vault Surf Shaka Pack are almost as good as lounging after a day at the beach. Okay, they are not at all like that, but at least they look cool.
