Someone wanted to check out REI’s no questions asked return policy, and fancy that, it appears to work quite well. Why pay for a snowboard when you can simply buy, use, and return with no explanation at all. Retail is still hell and appears to be getting worse by the day.

ASP World Champ Joel Parkinson is hitting up school kids with the Surfaid message as the organizations newest schools program ambassador.
Parkinson, 32, addressed an assembly of enthralled students [at Sydney’s Barrenjoey High] before joining a classroom group for a SurfAid lesson on geography. ‘Parko’ was the first at his table to find Bali on the map. “I used to love geography – it was my favorite subject,” he said. . . Parkinson said he was stoked when SurfAid asked him to be an ambassador. “It’s a huge honor, especially for something that does so much good. It was a no-brainer for me to jump on board. I want to raise awareness around the world as much as I can and show the world what SurfAid do.”

Supra Footwear has teamed up with G-Shock for a celebration of the Japanese watch makers 30th Anniversary (has it been that long?) with a G-Shock inspired Vaider Lite high top.
The black Vaider high top is not only elegant enough to stroll down any red carpet, but it also features two SUPRA footwear technologies: the black Satin TUF upper employs SUPRATUF abrasion resistance technology, and the sole is made from lightweight SUPRAFOAM which provides comfort and impact protection. The all black Vaider has red traction pods, custom red G-Shock sock liner, and the tongue features the “It’s About Time” clock set to 8:13 (20:13 in military time).
The Supra “It’s About TIme” watch will be in G-Shock stores on May 11, 2013 the same day the shoe will be in Supra retailers. Wait, so if we want both we have to go to two stores? Seriously? For the official word follow the jump. [click to continue…]

There’s nothing better while watching late night TV than seeing Kalani Robb’s bright shinning face doing work for Arby’s King’s Hawaiian Buns. It’s ono.

Today (April 30, 2013), on iTunes Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals released a special version of Jah Work to help support the family of Australian Almost Skateboards pro Lewis Marnell who died in January 2013 from diabetes complications. Here’s what Almost’s Luis Cruz says:
Lewis had left his guitar with me so he had something to play when he was in the US. I had forgotten he left it. One day, Ben Harper was visiting me and noticed the guitar. When Ben and I started talking about it, we thought it would be cool for him to make a song using Lewis’ guitar. With debt looming over Lewis’s funeral, Ben decided to get his original band back together and make a song for Lewis. All proceeds of the song will go to helping the Marnell family with all funeral costs.
Ben Harper is a good man. Click the link to buy the song, if you’re outside the US click here for the international version. [click to continue…]
