Transworld Surf’s Justin Cote drops in with a page view a-bomb with The Hottest Girls In Pro Surfing 2012 Edition. Yes, it’s just the sexist “girls that give us boners” kind of photo feature that you’d expect, but then again, apparently, being sexy is what drives the entire world. As a bonus, all 20 of them will kick your ass on the waves, so there’s that.
The list begins at 20th place with Courtney Conlogue and finishes right where you’d expect.
Each year, apparently, Shaun White takes a chance to remember the birth of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ by handing out products from all of his sponsors in a marketing promotion called White Christmas. The festivities begin on December 3, 2012 on Facebook.com/ShaunWhite and continue for 8 days. Not sure we’re going to make it to “the Facebook,” but we’re sure millions will. Day two is free gum for goodness sake. . .
We won’t even mention how often, as kids, we dreamed of skating around Santa Monica with Jay Adams. Now, through the magic of video we all get to do just that with a slightly, older, wiser Jay on his Z-Flex P.O.P. board.
We’ve mentioned Westerly Windina a.k.a. Peter Drouyn before (twice, actually). He’s the former Australian surfing hero who in 2008 announced that he would live as a woman rolling forward. Now, Santa Monica, California based filmmakers at Westward Productions are hoping to make a documentary about the man and the woman he became in a film titled: Westerly: A Man, A Woman, An Enigma. Not surprisingly, they’re asking for your help on Kickstarter. Here’s what they’re pitching:
In 2008, Peter Drouyn announced on Australian national television that he was living as a woman. His new name, she said, was Westerly Windina. The surf community—and Australia in general—was astonished and mostly repulsed. Since then, Westerly has been living in public housing on Australia’s Gold Coast. Her life is not easy. She is alone, poor, and often taunted by her neighbors. . . We will explore Westerly’s past as a man, document her upcoming gender-reassignment operation in Thailand, and follow her post-up as she acclimates to the newest chapter of her enigmatic journey.
Westward Productions is hoping to raise $50,000 for the project, however, with only 18 days to go they’ve only raised $6,298. If you’d like to see this film completed, click here to back the project.
What better way to ring in the holiday season than with The Gonz decorated Christmas tree and Snoop there to wreck the place with his cane. #bahhumbizzle
Stance apparently wasn’t happy simply supplying socks for sweaty skate dudes. Nope. They’ve reportedly hooked up the ladies as well.
The collection takes inspiration from both the runway and the streets. Intricate beading, fringe detailing, studs and fun prints can all be found in the collection. Right away, you’ll notice that these aren’t your everyday socks! . . Stance is truly changing the way we view socks.
There is nothing better than free money and the most popular way to round up small amounts of cash these days appears to be Kickstarter. The craftsmen at Bean Snowboards in Boston, Mass would like to continue with their “very limited Artist Series” of handmade snowboards, but they don’t have money. That’s where you come in.
We work with local artists to produce unique snowboards showcasing their design and then have a party/gallery showing to spread the word about their art and give them an opportunity to sell other works. This year we just don’t have the capital to do the Artist Series so we’re turning to the Kickstarter community to help us fund it.
If you’re going to support someone it might as well be guys who are making snowboards with American-made materials in America. Right? Click here to buy in.
Not that we’re interested in continuing this whole “Weezy becomes a skateboarder” thing, but Lil Wayne makes some more sense in this interview with MTV. It’s a reminder that you don’t sell all those records by not knowing what’s up. Like the man says, “Skateboarding is its own world and I want to vital in that world.”
