Blog I just came across a sweet new boardshorts label established and produced locally here in Oz. The label’s called Rocket Lips, and already has a sweet selection of vintage boardies available, in a range of old school patterns and floral prints.
To get your hands on a pair of these retro Continue reading Rocket Lips – Australian made retro boardies   Rip Curl have outdone themselves with their latest promotional video effort. The vid was shot in Malaysia, in the Sunway Lagoon Wavepool, with the assistance of a jetski to tow Mick Fanning and Steph Gilmore into the mechanically-produced waves, and some rather awesome camera equipment, to capture the action from a revolutionary new perspective. The Continue reading Rip Curl’s Matrix-style surf vid   A French chap who goes by the alias of Lino has created one of the best ‘animated’ surf videos I’ve ever laid eyes on. When it comes to eye candy, I always thought that the footage in the animated 2007 box-office movie Surf’s Up (the one with the penguins in it) would be the coolest non-authentic Continue reading Most awesome surf movie ever  I came across this radical new idea known as tarp surfing today. Words cannot describe how much fun this would be on a flat day. Watch the video below, end to end, you won’t be disappointed. Now the question that beckons, is where we score ourselves a big blue plastic tarp to set up our very Continue reading Will tarp surfing take off?  Lately I’ve been getting my long skatie out on weekends and hitting the streets. It’s an awesome feeling….I honestly think there’s nothing more satisfying (when you don’t have access to waves) then gathering momentum and carving long, sweeping turns on ultra-smooth sloping asphalt. I came across these bloody amazing Kahuna Big Sticks earlier today and nearly Continue reading The equivalent of SUPs for skateboarding   How good is this web site….it goes by the name of Boda Surf, and it’s just a bunch of seriously cool surf illustrations and retro photographs, all of which are guaranteed to make you go goo goo and gaa gaa. I’m sure I’m not the only one who likes cruising the web on dark and gloomy Continue reading Boda Surf  The movie Point Break is was an iconic part of modern surf history. Sure, the plot and representation of surfing within the movie’s terrible script was fundamentally flawed in so so many ways, but nevertheless, with the help of Keanu Point Break’s global popularity helped to establish surfing as a stable and commercially-viable industry. But Continue reading Bodhi Point Break Tshirt – Best tee ever?  With the upcoming yearly I Used to Skate Once event happening in Brisbane next week, skate art is a hot topic right now. I couldn’t help but ogle at square stylings of the Gremmie Skateboards decks, hand-shaped in Cali by Kevin Skibba. With a unique beveled bottom, a distinctly square tail, and a super sleek paint Continue reading Gremmie Skateboards – Art meets function   Jim Beam has always had a presence in the surfing community. Sure, there’s probably been enough Jimmy B swilled at wild Australian summer beach parties to send a rocket to Mars and back 3 times, but did you know that they friendly guys in the Jim Beam office care about the sport of surfing Continue reading Jim Beam Amateur Surfer Comp – $50,000 up for grabs  Heck, it may as well be bodysurfing month this month, it’s my second post about bodysurfing already! I just stumbled across this awesome video of a bloke bodysurfing Tea Tree Bay, one of the outer points of Noosa. To be honest, it’s not often you see anyone body-surfing these points (probably because it’s hard Continue reading Bodysurfing at Tea Tree Bay |
