We’d like to think that someday the president of the United States would actually roll into an nuclear security summit with skills like these. Until then, we’ll have to just dream with The Jay Leno Show video effects people who built this Barack Obama clip.

North Shore surfer Joshua Holley, 28, survived shark attack on Tuesday, April 3, 2012, while paddling in the channel between Aligator Rock and Leftovers when what is believed to be a 10-foot Tiger shark hit him on the left leg, according to a story on Hawaii News Now.
He said the shark bit his left foot and then started swimming to the front of the board. . . “Survival mode kicked in and I punched it really hard once and then twice. I didn’t want to panic or go into shock or anything like that,” said Holley. . . “You gotta go for something vulnerable like the eyes or the gills or the snout and that usually does the trick,” said state shark specialist Randy Honebrink. . . Holley paddled in and two strangers helped him to shore. Medics took him to Wahiawa General Hospital.
Holley received 42 stitches and will have to go back for more surgery to repair two severed tendons, but we’re all glad he’s alive.

Day one of the 2012 Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach seemed to go well for all of the top seeds, except for Taj Burrow. Burrow came in last against Nic Muscroft and Kolohe Andino in Round one Heat eight. Muscroft seemed surprised by it all.
“My legs are a bit sore after that last wave,” Muscroft said. “I didn’t know if I would have much of a chance against those guys out there, but I was able to get a good wave at the end and got the score. It’s always a pleasure to compete at this level and my best friend Robbo (Adam Robertson) made it to the Finals here a few years ago and that’s given me the confidence to do well here too.”
High men’s score of the day went to Owen Wright with a 17.93. But the day’s highest score was Sally Fitzgibbons 18.84 against Coco Ho and Sage Erickson. For the official word from the ASP follow the jump. [click to continue…]

Oddly, this seems to be the same attitude most longboarders have when we see them out in the wild. . .

Twelve-year-old Tom Schaar goes one-half past the 900 with a 1080 on the MegaRamp at Woodward West. He’ll probably start double corking 12s next week, so don’t get too excited about this stop on the Schaar spin meter.
