The mellow lifestyle of extreme stores?

Adrenalina wants to hook up with Pacific Sunwear.

They're both in the retail business. Adrenalina is a Florida-based company that calls itself "the extreme store," and it sells a variety of products to the devotees of various sports -- apparel, accessories, surfboards, mountain bikes.

In October 2008 it offered $4.50 a share for PacSun. That was rejected. It offered $5. That, too, was rejected.

I'm not sure about the synergy. PacSun describes itself as a "lifestyle specialty retailer rooted in the youth culture and fashion vibe of southern California." So they might sell surfboards too, but I'm getting "mellow" vibes from the one side and harsher vibes from the "extreme" side, dudes.

Anyway, since the two rebuffs of October, Adrenalina has taken another approach, nominating four directors for the board. I'll take their bios directly from the proy materials.
