Dave Lee and the Signal Snowboards crew get back to the base-ics, experimenting with new technology that adds a little heat up the base of a snowboard. Will it make the boards go faster? Will this be the technology that all boards will be rocking next year? Or will this just be a flash in the plan? Watch the edit and you’ll get all the answers in this March edition of Every Third Thursday.

John Wolfson, a 27-year-old bodyboarder from Manly, Australia, (pictured above) got barred from the lineup at Bawley Point, New South Wales on Monday, March 16, 2014 when a bottle nose dolphin speared him in the left side as Wolfson was paddling out, according to a story in the Daily Telegraph.
Wolfson made it to shore but had to wait almost an hour in severe pain to be evacuated due to the spot’s remote location and the fact a 4WD ambulance got bogged in the sand. . . Witness and surf photographer Jason Corroto said the force of the collision shredded his mate’s wet tie. . . “He looked like he was wearing a rag,” he said. “He could not move at all. He thought he had broken his ribs.” . . While his ribs turned out not to be broken, he was expected to remain at St George Hospital overnight.
Must have been an accident, right?

We’ve all shot terrible, jittery video. In fact, most of us do it all the time. Finding a solid, inexpensive rig to smooth things out, however is nearly impossible. Now, a crew from Berlin, Germany is working to create the LUUV system specifically for use with GoPros, iPhones, and other small cameras and best yet, make it affordable and modern.
LUUV is a camera stabilizer for all action cams and smart phones that enables you to shoot shake-free footage while you are in motion. Thanks for a full three-axis-stabilization, LUUV separates the motion of your hand from the camera. You hand is moving, but the camera is not. The outcome: flowing, steady footage instead of shaky videos.
Co-founders Felix Kochbeck and Tim Kirchner are launching their product on IndieGoGo and hope to raise $50,000 in the next 53 days. If you’d like to help them out, click the link and be one of the first to get the LUUV when they begin production.

Ellie-Jean Coffey is 19 and blonde and she’s a professional surfer for Billabong. She also posts lots and lots of bikini photos online because, you know, “‘[Bikinis are] just what I wear. Also being in the sun so much, your hair is really blonde and your skin goes very tanned so that’s definitely a positive as well,” according to the Daily Mail. And because of this she has 234,000 followers on Instagram.
Seems there’s nothing the world loves more than young blondes in bikinis who are constantly taking pictures of themselves. The Australian media needed their own Anastasia Ashley or Alana Blanchard. And now we know. It’s Ellie-Jean Coffey.
