Mark Schmid is making a snowboard tool in the shape of a carabiner. That’s right. A tool that snaps onto your belt loop where it will be always handy, but not in the way. He’s already created a skate tool and now he’s hoping to get this product launched with a little help from his friends on Kickstarter. Here’s what Automatic Mag says about it:
Aside from having the potential to save your day on the mountain CLICK Carabiners are incredibly useful for a host of other things like hooking your gloves to your belt loop, stylishly securing your keys and opening beers. Add in the CLICK Carabiner patent-pending “Glove-On” technology which allows you to open the tools even with gloves on, you’d be hard pressed to find a better, cooler, more useful tool for snowboarding . . .
With 34 days to go Schmid already has 1,261 backers who have pledged $25,381. If you’re down click the link and help him out.

For some reason we’ve always been stoked on lake surfing. It’s so wrong, and so not the ocean, and so ephemeral that it’s nearly perfect when it happens. Watching surfers catch these rides on Lake Michigan’s freshwater walls on October 26, 2013 brings it all back to basics, even with inch-thick wetsuits and yacht-sized boards.

For their holiday lookbook Brixton has gone all wild west in the form of a classic Mexican Standoff. Wikipedia explains:
A Mexican standoff is most precisely a confrontation among three opponents armed with guns. The tactics for such a confrontation are substantially different than for a duel, where the first to shoot has the advantage. In a confrontation among three mutually hostile participants, the first to shoot is at a tactical disadvantage.
Who wins? Watch this edit and find out.

Network A follows up its hot surf girl web series Alana with a new four-part hot surf girl web series staring Laura Enever titled I’m Laura.
We’re guessing this one will feature lots of scenes with a low clothing quotient. As that seems to be the key ingredient for Youtube web views this will probably rake them in as well. Check it.

Longtime skateboarding and punk rock documentarian and creator Mark Waters is hoping to round up funding to help re-open Orange County, California’s Unit B. The all-ages space, which featured ramps, live bands, and art, closed last June after being open for a year. Now, Waters wants to relaunch the space and do it right. That’s why he’s turned to crowdsourcing site indiegogo for help.
“When the doors were closed at Unit B, it hurt,” Waters says. “But I felt like it was an opportunity again — a chance to build on what we’d done at Unit B, and make it better, make it completely legal, and basically build a new spot that was designed to be what we want. Not a skatepark with a stage, but a community space designed for live music, skateboarding, art shows, record swaps, a library/bookstore, a recording studio, as well as rehearsal studios and anything else that we feel the need to create. This is a community space like no other, and we’ve proven that this concept works.”
