Thanks to those tiny camera from that one company, we all get to see Pipeline the way the Mark Healey, Anthony Walsh, Mikey Bruneau, Jamie Sterling and Koa Smith see it. And it’s about as close as many of us will ever get.
Seems like everyone has a plan that involves getting people to give money via the crowd sourced funding site Kickstarter. Well, add Encinitas, California based super soul surf hippie site KorduroyTV. Here’s their pitch:
It has been two years since the launch Korduroy.TV and in that time we have independently produced over 200 shorts, 3 documentaries, and numerous events aimed at creating a new platform for independent surf culture. . . For a consistent flow of rad new shows over this next year we need to raise $18,000 USD to cover our video production, resources and labor costs in order for us to continue spreading digital aloha.
Those who enjoy their surf media served up in a painfully earnest, tragically hipster fashion (and we do mean fashion) click on over to Korduroy.tv’s Kickstarter page and ante up. A $25 pledge will get you a Korduroy Sticker Pack, New Tropi Treats Pineapple Snacks and limited edition “GOT DIGITAL ALOHA?” t-shirt.” Which isn’t a bad deal at all.

Last place US Snowboarding Grand Prix finalist Scotty Lago started his morning off right with a little sabotage on Luke Mitrani. Looks like it just might have backfired. . .
Sunday (December 11, 2011) was a big day in Los Angeles skateboarding thanks to the Real, Four Star and Nike SB. Yeah, the big news was that Ishod Wair is all pro. But there’s more. Here’s a little clip from Sebastian Estrada.
Don’t think that the major leaguers don’t pay their dues every single day of the week. Here’s a little behind the scenes from Nyjah Huston’s 24 rail in Rise & Shine.
Tony Hawk brings things back to some familiar terrain with the tease of his newest video game Tony Hawk Pro Skater HD. We’ve always loved that old warehouse with the vert ramp, the quarters around the edges, so it’s good to see it back in a more updated form. Yes, we’re looking forward to this. We bought our first Playstation for Tony Hawk Pro Skater, this new version may be reason enough to update.
