Kevin Pierce isn’t the only snowboarder to suffer a traumatic brain injury. Danny Toumarkine was riding with friends in Montana on January 3, 2011 when a “routine” jump changed his life. Moving Forward is the story of Danny’s accident and his recovery. If this teaser is any indication the film will have you inspired and rocking a helmet this season.

Apparently, “Victor de le Rue, Janne Lipsanen, Elias Elhardt, Victor Daviet, Nils Arvidsson and company have sharpened their edges for some mass destruction” in the streets. To us it’s just a little more Rip Curl snowboarding to get everyone in the mood. And we can all use some of that.

Supra has officially hooked up Kevin Romar for a spot on the team.
The 23-year-old Romar hails from Cypress, CA and grew up skating in the Long Beach area influenced by skaters like Terry Kennedy. But Romar’s style has since developed into one that is distinctly his own. In the last year Kevin has been blowing up with footage all over the place: he had a stellar part in Blind’s This Is Not A Test, a “Snapshot” on Havoc TV, he was on the KR3W “Smash N’ Grab” Canadian tour, and he’s had a handful of Berrics pieces including a “Process,” “Bangin’,” “Trickipedia,” and “Text Yoself” And while not known as a contest skater, Kevin finished in a respectable fifth place at the Washington, D.C. Maloof Money Cup.
Solid, right?

Garrett McNamara is being credited with what is reportedly “the biggest wave ever ridden” at allegedly 90 feet, according to a story on Drift Surfing.
The three were surfing in Praia do Norte off the coast of Nazaré, Portugal. McNamara has been spending quite some time here once he discovered the magic of the spot. The coast of Nazaré is home to one of the only deep water canyons that runs all the way to shore. He has been working with the Portuguese Hydrographic Institute to understand how the waves reach such an abnormal height.
While this is obviously a huge wave and McNamara is a charger of amazing prowess we do have one question: how much smaller are the rulers used to measure big wave surfing going to get?
