Vans kicks off 2017 with the return of the Vans Hi-Standard Series, an international all-ages contest inviting snowboarders to showcase true style and expression in an exciting open-jam format. With a new stop in Switzerland and a grand finale in California, the Vans Hi-Standard global series will be touring across the US, Canada, Switzerland, Korea, and France. The inclusive snowboard jam will feature an original big air jam format where riders are judged by individual style only, with no rotations over 720 permitted. For the grand finale, Vans will bring a new, non-traditional feature into the fold by creating a unique custom-spec course, where riders are encouraged to push the boundaries of their creative expression.
For all the detail, please follow the jump.

It’s always great watching Temple Cummins slide the white, but the real joy in this clip is Austen Sweetin’s hauntingly raw and sloppy version of Highwaymen. It sounds good.

Philosophical powboarding in the freshest from Wolle Nyvelt and friends. “Surfing changed my approach and how I look at snowboarding a lot.” What is the meaning of all these levels of paradise? Of a cameo from Hydrodynamica surfboard shaper Richard Kenvin. We don’t know. It goes way, way too deeply into the glide.

Ho ho ho, and Merry Christmas. The 2016 commercial surfing season is finally over. In a final reminiscent of 2007, the Pipeline Masters was decided at Backdoor on Monday December 19, 2016. Michel Bourez defeated Kanoa Igarashi in a heat where the highest scoring wave was a 5.
“I still don’t believe it,” said Bourez. “I’m just happy to be here. Last year I got injured and it was really tricky and tough for me to come back. I almost dropped off tour. I worked really hard at home and tried to stay positive the whole time.”
With this Pipeline win Bourez has become the third surfer to win all three of the Hawaiian Triple Crown events. The other two are Michael Ho and Andy Irons.
In other news 2 John Florence won the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing for the third time.
For the official word from the event owner, please follow the jump.

The Oxford English Dictionary luminaries were in a surfy mood this year when adding words for their massive collection of proper English words.
Of the 1,500 words they either updated or added, some of the words they chose to highlight come from surfing. We can finally feel okay about using the following words in proper written and spoken English: break, A-frame, bomb, cross-step, barrel, frontside, turtle, and shaka.
Apparently there’s no love for the backside at the OED. For a selection of other non-surfing words that were added this year, follow the jump.
