Wanna little audio boost for your iPhone or other audio player? The Nixon TPS speaker system might be just what you’re looking for.
Custom designed to take the party anywhere. The Nixon TPS portable stereo speaker includes a 3.5mm audio input and rechargeable battery, all housed within a premium aluminum chassis.
And that’s not all. Buy two of them, plug them in to each other and experience “enhanced stereo separation and volume.” Not a bad way to lose the headphones.
Not really much more to say about this Stevie Caballero clip than that. But we won’t stop Cab from explaining:
This little video was all filmed within a few hours one Sunday afternoon in the skull bowl at Lake Cunningham skatepark in San Jose, Ca. by my good friend Jason Haley after discussing with him about making this art piece for sometime now. We finally found a day we could shoot it, then we spent a few more hours a couple of days later editing it at my house on his computer and put this cool Metallica cover i found on a compilation rock cd for kids and it fit so well with this piece.
Yep. Black and white really captures the moment. . .
Quiksilver certainly is attempting to downplay some of their previous over-the-top luxury helis-and-yachts surf films with No Agenda. Here’s what they’re saying about the film:
No Agenda is not about selling boardshorts. It’s not about the latest marketing advertisements and campaigns. It’s not about champagne, leather couches and expensive boat trips. It’s all about beach traffic, bottom turns, sun burns, cold beer, ding repair, dirty wax, flat spells, f#!king kooks, getting burned, local legends, lost luggage, magic boards, nut rash, lofty punts, onshore wind, perfect barrels, sandy hair and sharing waves. It’s good, it’s bad, it’s surfing. This movie has No Agenda.
Well, except for that whole “promoting the brand” thing, of course. But then again, it looks good. Click the link for film tour dates beginning June 15, 2012 in Miami.
The design heads at Yobeat have created the newest snowboarding sensation that is poised to change the shred world as we know it. This new Bouncy Board technology could allow for progression unlike any we’ve seen before. . . or it could just rip your legs off and break your collar bone. You decide.
The Nixon Euro surf team now include French ripper Marc Lacomare. How’s that for good news?
The multiple French Junior Champion and former ASP Billabong World Junior Champion is no stranger to the Nixon family having previously been on the Nixon flow program. Following Marc’s impressive showing in the Canary Islands, the team made a unanimous decision to promote the Hossegor-based surfer to the European surf team.
Yeah, the idea that elbow-throwing, fan fighting basketball player Metta World Peace (a.k.a. Ron Artest) would be out promoting mental heath is a little more than ironic. But the fact that he’s doing it dressed as a super-hero longboarder makes it just plain insane. But it seems to be the way Metta likes it.
Who wouldn’t be excited to have 11-time ASP World Champion Kelly Slater on their team, but did GoPro really need give Mr. Slater a new middle name? Apparently they did. And it is “Fucking.” And it’s about fucking time fucking Kelly fucking Slater got some fucking recognition for being Kelly Fucking Slater. Fuck.
[Editors’ Note: Yes, this is the second time we’ve used this over fucking use of the fucking fuck word for comedic effect. But that’s just because we’re a sustainable business. We recycle cuss words because they’re so hard on the environment.]
Occasionally we check in with the longboard crowd to see what’s up. After watching this new Loaded promo film Swerving Sama we can’t say we’re any closer to understanding exactly what’s going on, but they sure do roll through some beautiful terrain on that new board. Here is Loaded’s definition of Sama:
Sama is the Sufi ceremony focusing on active meditation as a tool for the individual’s spiritual journey. The origin of this practice is credited to Rumi, a poet and founder of the Mevlevi order of whirling dervishes. Through Sama, the individual aims to ascend from the confines of thought to attain heightened maturity, perfection, and closeness to God.
Kind sounds like of the opposite of street skating. Which is the best description of longboarding we’ve come up with yet. . .
There’s nothing more re:refreshing that a big blast of the past served up as re:fresh and no one does re:retro better than Brixton and Troy Elmore as evidenced by this clip. We’re feeling blurry just watching it.
Multi-glisse practitioner Trevor Jacob tossed off this little skateboard double cork to springy landing zone at Woodward while “skateboarding across this country.” Not a bad buck. Now let’s see that on the mega-ramp. . .
