Alana Blanchard has a new show on Youtube called Alana: Surfer Girl in which we guess she will parade around in her bikini and give us a sneak peek at all her surfing assets (not that we’re being critical).
In this weekly series launching 10/29 follow Alana, along with her close surfer friends, Leila Hurst and Camille Brady, as they take you on a journey around Kauai, surfing, diving, swimming, and exploring the fourth largest of the Hawai’ian Islands.
The show launches on Monday, October 29, 2012 on Network A. So watch for it (if you can figure the whole Youtube Channel thing out).
Don’t think energy drinks don’t own the media world? Check out Travis Rice in his padded, logo’d, cranial billboard being interviewed about Supernatural the America’s Cup on CBS Evening News. He’s hoping to help bring a whole new TV audience to million dollar sailboard racing.
Note to the ASP: It would appear sailing is in the same situation as surfing. Apparently, poor, uneducated, obese couch potatoes can’t relate. Maybe Honey Boo Boo would make a better spokesperson for both ventures.
It basically goes like this: drive, surf, drink Corona Extra beer, ride a motorcycle, pull over drink more Corona Extra. Watch the sunset while drinking Corona Extra. Cliff jump, swim, ride a bus, surf, carry your surfboard past a sunset pushing a bike, have another Corona Extra. Because Corona Extra makes everything better. Did we mention this was brought to you by Corona Extra?
That Northwestern footwear giant that just canned cyclist Lance Armstrong has no qualms about sponsoring another Lance participates in the digging of holes, the positioning of coping, and the subsequent distruction of said terrain. We’re glad they occasionally has their priorities straight.
Last night (October 16, 2012, during the Presidential debates), in San Francisco, California, GoPro Founder and CEO Nicolas Woodman unveiled the GoPro Hero3.
Each new edition retains the iconic look of the previous award winning HD HERO cameras but comes in at about half the size of its predecessors and has built-in Wi-Fi technology. At the top end of the new product line up, the HD HERO3 Black Edition is one of the most powerful camera systems available, delivering astounding 4K and 2.7K video resolutions all in the size of a small box of matches, making it easier to share your world. The White, Silver and Black editions are available for pre-order at GoPro.com and are shipping to specialty retailers around the world for MSRP $199.99, $299.99 and $399.99 respectively.
Yes, just like the iPhone 5, everyone who uses and loves the GoPro is going to have to upgrade, dammit.
Snowboarder Magazine appears to have spent most of the summer (and the spring) asking every single pro they ran into if they’ve ever spent more than 30 minutes on a sticker job. You may be surprised by some of the answers. We actually weren’t. And to answer the question: No. We never cluster our snowboards. Ever.
