As Eddie Wall says, “What started as a little sketch is now the Eddie Wall Ride Invitational. We have 30 of the best pros here. . . ” And it all went down at Mammoth Mountain on May Day. May 1, 2010. Tim Humphreys won it all and Peter Line won an iPad.
“I won $20,000 like then years ago. And this is way better than that,” Peter said. “Twenty grand goes right to bill. This is all for fun.”

Sam George’s feature documentary Hollywood Don’t Surf focuses on how many times Hollywood has failed when trying to properly capture surfing will be shown at a sneak preview at the Cannes Film Festival next week according to a story in the Laguna Beach Independent.
The cinematic retrospective explores 50 years of Hollywood surfing movies, featuring rare surfing footage, such as Thomas Edison’s 1906 Hawaiian surfing footage, and excerpts and behind-the-scenes shots from numerous surfing films including “Gidget” beach party movies, “Ride the Wild Surf,” “Big Wednesday,” “North Shore,” “Point Break,” “In God’s Hands” and “Blue Crush.” Interviews with Hollywood luminaries and surf stars include Quentin Tarantino, John Milius, Steven Spielberg, Stacy Peralta, Mac- Gillivray, Gary Busey, Jan-Michael Vincent, William Katt, Greg Noll, Laird Hamilton, Peter Townend, Robert Englund, Frankie Avalon and real-life “Gidget” Kathy Kohner.
We’re most interested in seeing how Sam handles the In God’s Hands section.

What’s better than a documentary about a trio of surfer girls making a charge at the pro ranks?
Nikki’s 14 and is sponsored by Rip Curl. With serious power in her turns this pint size ripper is tipped to be the leader of the next generation of female surfers. A charger in the water and a charmer on land, India surfs for Billabong, and has been competing against Nikki since she was 9 years old. While Roxy’s Jess has been taking out titles left right and centre despite battling chronic fatigue for the last 4½ years. And to top it off she’s just been beached for 6-12 months with a shoulder reco.
Rhetorical question. . . and no, there is no punchline.

Alright parents. . . here’s a 1.3 year old Ava Marie shredding Mammoth’s Canyon Lodge (we still call it The Hut) earlier this month. Who can go even younger? Huck your babies. Maybe they’ll get sponsored.

The “Our Park” video was posted to Youtube by Hybebeast TV and explains how Nike’s plans to build a skate plaza in Tokyo’s Miyashita Park aren’t sitting well with the artists who frequent the park, nor the homeless people who live there. Check it out.
