We’ve heard all kinds of horror stories from the Wavehouse in San Diego, but rarely have we heard anything about the more mellow Flowriders like the one at Raging Waters in San Dimas, California. That is until we saw these photos of Katy Perry getting the blow off in the Daily Mail.
Kind of reminds us of something that happened to Bruce Irons once at Teahupoo. . . This is the before photo, follow the jump for the after. . . [click to continue…]

David Duval apparently won the British Open Golf Championship in 2001 and though we don’t follow golf at all, someone alerted us to the fact that while Duval is in Lytham St. Annes for this year’s event he’s been rocking a Burton hat. Though we’re wondering if wearing a Burton hat while discussing all his injuries is such a good idea. Here’s what he said today, according to a story on Golf Digest:
“Yesterday I hit three or four shots that almost put me down,” he said. “I’ve worked my tail off. Unfortunately for me I’ve had multiple nagging little injuries. I’ve had tendinitis in both shoulders; I’ve got it in my elbows; I have bone bruises in my knees right now; I have a back problem that’s well-documented; had tendinitis in my wrist; I’ve had vertigo. Is that it?”
The big question is: is David just doing it as a favor to his friend Jake, or is Burton looking again at new ways to unseasonlize their brand?

Along with his cousin Chris “Drama” Pfaff, Rob Dyrdek has reportedly launch a frozen burrito company called Loud Mouth Burritos, according to a story on TMZ.
The “Fantasy Factory” duo is hawking two options for now: Cheeseburger — stuffed with hamburger meat, cheese, ketchup and mustard … and Pepperoni Pizza — with mozzarella, pepperoni and tomato sauce. . . The frozen goods are currently being sold at several 24-hour Kum and Go and Maverik convenience stores — perfect for those late night munchies — and they’re hoping to expand to 10,000 locals by the end of summer.
The burritos, which pack 420 calories, sound like a perfect pairing with some Monster Energy Drink.

UC Berkeley’s Lawrence Hall of Science is kicking off a new skateboarding exhibit called Tony Hawk | Rad Science on May 26, 2012. The exhibit is promoted like this:

Word got out this morning, May 4, 2012 that Beastie Boys’ Adam “MCA” Yauch has died after a three-year-long battle with cancer, according to a story on RollingStone.com.
Adam was the snowboarder in the group and his death had many in the industry reeling. Here’s what Mike Ranquet had to say on Facebook:
I spent a lot of time and travelled all over with that dude and I’ll miss him dearly. I’ll always laugh when I think of our trip to Vietnam, we were the two funniest dudes on the planet for those 4 weeks. RIP Adam and I hope you find the “highly coveted deodorant” we were searching for on our adventures.
Our thoughts are with his wife, daughter, and the entire Beastie Boys family.

Shaun White is certainly maximizing his celebrity building NYC party time, last night (Sunday, April 22, 2012) he with Australian actress Abbie Cornish at the Tribeca Film Festival party for her movie The Girl at 1Oak. What do Señor Blanco and Ms. Cornish have in common, aside from loving to sit a tables buried in free bottles of Stoli? Ah, yes. Creative Artist Agency represents them both. What are the chances? Damn, our entire post blown out of the water by the fact that Cornish signed with William Morris Endeavor in January 2012. Sorry. Maybe they’re just friends. Thanks, Jenny!
