Spring Break is the snowboard/art project created by Corey Smith in which he and his friends make absurdist art snowboards, take them out into the snow, and ride them.
This year Ben Rice, Eric Messier, and Corey Smith took the boards to Mt. Bachelor and filmed in all it artistic, blur/pan, slow-mo glory. And yes, we have to admit that it all works beautifully all the way around. Scrap wood never looks so good.

The opening sequences of the 1985 James Bond film A View To A Kill featured one of Tom Sims most visible snowboarding moments and helped introduce pop culture to snowboarding. Even in the midst of the hailstorm of bullets, explosions, and chasers you still get a great feel for Sims’ timeless snowboard style.

Hey, just noticed there may have been something we missed at Surf Expo (shocking, right?). It was the Stokes Me Surf Contest at Typhoon Lagoon (not featured in the video above). Apparently, the contest raised $13,000 for the Stokes Me Challenge effort to raise money for 10 different SIMA Humanitarian Funds. And that’s good.
“While the Stokes Me Surf Contest proved to be a huge success, the main event is online at stokesME.org and will run next month, October 1-30,” explained SIMA Humanitarian Fund President and Surfline Vice President, Ross Garrett. “Thanks to Surf Expo and Sanuk, who carved out time during their event for our fundraiser, we had some fun, and started to raise some money for our 10 worthy humanitarian beneficiaries.”
Always nice to see the surf industry doing good things for people and partying at the same time. Follow the jump for the official word. [click to continue…]
