We don’t know who is really to blame for the global, viral spread of Anastasia Ashley’s butt cheeks Supergirl warm up routine, but we do have questions. Are these just the antics of a serious surfer girl who doesn’t care? Is this the calculated creation of a marketing wizard who knows exactly how to twerk it? Is obese America this hard up for toned ass? Occasionally, there are no answers.

Seems like only yesterday were were standing by the side of a rental car in the dirty Tyrol Basin parking lot using a setting sun as a light table to check out some of photographer Jeff Curtes‘ first snowboard images. Yes, he’s come a long way since then. But you know what’s even better? He’s still going. Check out this F-Stop Life In Focus video feature to see what the former Burton Snowboards lensman has been up to lately.

The streets of downtown Huntington Beach, California got a little out of control Sunday night (July 28, 2013) after the conclusion of the Vans US Open of Surfing. It seems some suburban SoCal kids were upset at a row of porta potties and they released some of their middle class rage by knocking them over.
According to a story in the LA Times eight people were arrested in a “riot” which reportedly started when someone threw a ketchup bottle into the street from an upstairs restaurant.
Eight people were arrested and several officers were injured Sunday night. Police in riot gear used tear gas and nonlethal rounds to disperse the crowd, which tipped over portable toilets and smashed storefront windows.
While “windows” plural is reportedly a bit of a stretch there was some damage to a few newspaper racks, signs, and at least one car window. It’s hard to really “riot” when you’ve got one hand on your cellphone and you’re trying to get it all on instagram.

Last September man about the surf Dan Malloy (and friends Kanoa Zimmerman and Kellen Keene) rode his bicycle down the California coast to check things out at a slower pace, catch some surf, and of course, create another Malloy multimedia masterpiece.
In this instance the creation is a book titled Fast Is Slow and a short film called Moving Pictures. Dan is spending August 2013 touring California with the book and film and you can check all three of them out if you’re in the area. The Slow Is Fast tour begins in Mill Valley, California on August 2, 2013. For a full list of tour locations, follow the jump. [click to continue…]

Wetsuit developers SAMS (Shark Attack Mitigation Systems) have created some wetsuits that mess with sharks heads, but not in a bad way, according to a story in the Daily Mail. Apparently, sharks use their sense of smell to find prey, however, they use their eyes just before they chomp down.
The Diverter wetsuit has navy and white stripes that are seen on some poisonous animals and fish to make the shark think they diver is dangerous. . . The designers have also created matching surfboard stickers. . . According to SAMS, years of anecdotal evidence suggests that a stripe pattern acts as a deterrent or repellent to sharks.
Not looking like something that sharks want to eat is always a good thing.

Lost your nerves on anything over a three set? Got no pop? Tired of picking up your skateboard to walk down the stairs? The Stair-Rover is here to help.
The unique eight-wheeled mechanism makes the board equally at home cruising smooth pavements or gliding down steps. From the curb outside your house to a double flight of stairs, the Stair-Rover scuttles over obstacles with ease. . . On flat ground, Stair-Rover is the equal of any traditional longboard. But when the surface gets rough – cobblestones or uneven paving, for example – the chassis goes to work. It reduces impact and keeps you moving.
If you’re inspired, you can even help the developers fund their project on Kickstarter.

It’s been a while since we’ve been this stoked on a music listening device as we’ve been lately with Nixon’s new, brightly colored, Bluetooth, shock and water resistant Blaster. It’s so much better than headphones. In fact, the speaker is so light and easy to pair with a smartphone that we immediately wanted to throw it in our big back pocket and skate around annoying strangers Survivor’s Eye of The Tiger turned up really, really loud. Truth.
With a custom audio signature, BIG bold sound, a 12+ hour battery life and compact styling, it’s a true portable music experience. A speaker that feels right at home in or outside of the four walls, The Blaster was created for a life well lived and the adventures that come along with it.
Better yet, every time we turn our’s off we hear a short message from Todd Richards. For the official word from Nixon, follow the jump.
