You probably don’t need a new snowboard this season (who really does?) But if you’re going to buy one, it’s best to buy one from a real snowboarding company. Take Venture Snowboards for instance. Their boards are made in the heart of the mountains by snowboarders, not by starving factory workers in China. And that’s probably a good thing.

Still remembering Buttons. Here’s an edit from 2007 in which Buttons Kaluhiokalani lays out some of his past problems straight up and reminds everyone to take it one day at a time. Buttons uploaded videos to his Hot Buttons Youtube Channel for nearly two years before stopping in 2008.

It goes a little something like this:
Ethan Morgan, Mario Kaeppeli and Flo Corzelius, three unemployed snowboarders trying’ to make it from rags to riches and Russian bitches by risking their health to get nasty stitches. That’s what they do. . . There are a few other homeboys in there, too: Peter Koenig, Mario Wanger, Tom Klocker, Simon Pircher, Raffael Kossmann and Daniel Diedrich.
And yeah, it is time to snowboard.

Surfing lost one of its most its most influential surfers on Saturday, November 2, 2013 when Hawaiian legend Buttons Kaluhiokalani died in California after a long battle with lung cancer, according to the blog on the Buttons Surf School. He was 55.
Buttons Kaluhiokalani was a former Hawaiian Pro Surfer and is well known for his radical and stylish surfing. In 1973, at the age of 13, Buttons traveled to the US Championships in Malibu, California, as an amateur, where he placed second. Seven years later, Buttons won the Sunkist Open at Malibu. . . During the 70′s Buttons really perfected the progressive style of surfing he is so well known for. Uncle Eddie Rothman calls him “the Innovator of Modern Day Surfing.” Buttons was the first to perform a carving 360 on film. A true Style Master, Buttons is renowned for his pocket surfing, switch foot and skateboard inspired maneuvers.
Our thoughts are with the Kaluhlokalani family.
