Federico “Kikas” Morais just dropped a little clip “filmed entirely in Australia.” The clip features gulls, kangaroos, and Sheilas, but no shrimp, no barbies, and no Oi Ois.

As a little reminder from Boardworld and Olliepop Films, if it’s summer in the Northern Hemisphere, it must be wintering up in the Southern. Well, at least a little bit. It’s always fun watching someone else ride the white ribbon of death, especially in July. Oi Mate.

Not sure if you’re up for an art overdose this morning? You might want to back off on this collaboration between Desillusion Magazine, Raen Optics, and RVCA. It is titled This Is Alex and it’s a profile of Alex Knost. Here’s what they say:
Hailing from Costa Mesa, California, Alex Knost certainly stands out of the crowd; a worthy heir to a surf culture that’s made up of pioneers, and numerous creative artists. After having followed in the footsteps of his spiritual big brother, Joel Tudor, Alex became in turn one of the best long boarders in the world, paddling his way to the front of the scene, in a counter culture that we thought was drowning under the waves of an extremely lucrative economy- surf industry. Almost uncatchable, the man flits like a butterfly from one art to the next (from photography to video, board shapes to music) trying to, like he says “lose himself in anything he does, hoping to exceed the limits that society has set him”.
See what we mean about the art overdose? Either way, it’s quality video work and Knost is a compelling subject.

Ambsn’s new Holiday 2012 lookbook features a tent camper and his long, dusty hike to the beach. Along the way his clothes magically switch up at every turn. It’s almost like they planned it that way just so they could show off all their new clothes.

We’re always suckers for a clever advertising hook and director Nicholaus Goossen nails it with his This Never Gets Old commercial for Osiris Shoes.
“In conceptualizing the POV concept the goal was to create a commercial that in 30/60 seconds captures all facets of youth lifestyle through action sports, art and music with subtle cameos of Osiris riders, but then tricks the mind and influences viewers to share and push it viral,” said Brian Reid, Osiris Co-Founder/CCO. “Working with Goossen and Futuristic Films for our second big campaign was a fun challenge and our most creative commercial to date.”
The spot, which features Corey Duffel, PLG, Kellen James, Lindsay Perry, Dirt Nasty and Risk, will be airing on MTV and Fuel starting today. If you haven’t already seen it, we guarantee it was force a giggle. Follow the jump for the official word.

The Ellington, released today (July 16, 2012) by Supra, is featured in this edit shot entirely in New York City.
The technical features of the Ellington begin with the lightweight, full length SUPRAFOAM midsole that is thicker in the heel for impact protection and thinner at the toe for better board feel. It rests upon a rubber outsole with sidewalls in the toe and ollie area. The mid top collar, as well as the molded, internal ankle pods provide support and a snug, comfortable fit while retaining movement. A SUPRAFOAM footbed, with mesh sock liner, gives comfort and impact protection. The herring bone pattern in the sole’s high friction areas supplies superior grip.
Erik Ellington seems right proud of his new kicks:
“I think this shoe is a good combination of something that is functional, and it protects your feet, and it looks good,” Erik said. “I tried to incorporate all those things and I think we came out with a really good shoe. I’ve been with SUPRA since the beginning, in 2006, and I’m stoked to release my sixth shoe, the SUPRA Ellington.”
The Ellington retails for $85 and is available online and wherever Supra shoes are sold. Follow the jump for the official details and photo. [click to continue…]

The Aunti Films crew kick down another slice of wintery snowboard goodness just to help get us all through this latest heat wave. Looks like someone got some work done last winter.

Oh, did you see the latest Skateline with Metro’s Gary Rogers? Now you can. Might be our favorite thing on the Ride Channel. Still haven’t figured out how to watch just the stuff we want to watch. Get on that Youtube. And for a little background on Gary, check out his ESPN/Action interview.

According to Tanner Pendleton this is what summer in Oregon looks like. Jed Anderson and Louif Paradis seem to be enjoying it, also.
