It’s a Chopper baby! This limited edition Burton snowboard series features all of a kids favorite characters from ToyStory. Woody, Buzz, Zurg, the aliens and Ham all make appearances on the top sheet graphics of the eight boards ranging in sizes from 80 to 130cm. Featuring Burton’s catch-free convex base and a super-soft flex this board is perfect for even the littlest of groms.
Our guess is that the Rad Dad club is going to be all over this one for Christmas, so don’t get stuck hunting this down for your little bro or sis on December 23rd. Do it now (if there are still any left).
We all have loads of gear. Take one look around the garage or office of any action sports worker and you’ll find a pile of equipment. We’ve all got solutions to tame the clutter, but few of them look as good as Turnstone’s new Limited-Edition Bivi Board Rack.
A division of SteelCase, Turnstone offers sustainable designed, modular and modern office furniture and accessories. The Bivi line encompasses everything from desks and privacy screens to desk chairs and couches. The board rack is made to work congruently with the existing Bivi line, but it can also be mounted solo on a wall.
With three slots for board storage, the rack can hold an equal amount of mounted skateboards or snowboards. If you’re a deck collector, however, it will probably top out at nine or ten boards depending on the width of the boards and if you choose to add the rubber shelf protectors.
Available in arctic white, platinum, tangerine, wasabi, and midnight metallic, this thing looks right at home next to pieces from George Nelson or Charles and Ray Eames. The rack has a $219 price tag, but for hose who appreciate good design the biggest problem may be in not buying the entire Bivi office suite to go with it.
Have to admit it, these Supra Backwoods by Prodigy of Mob Deep look like the perfect after-shred sneaks.
The “Infamous” Backwood is a work boot/athletic-shoe hybrid constructed atop a unique sole that has a lightweight and comfortable SUPRAFOAM midsole with a rugged, rubber lug outsole. Prodigy designed the upper with grey suede camouflage and black ballistic nylon.
Warm, grippy, stylie. What else you want? Follow the jump for the official word from Supra. [click to continue…]
Spy, The Seventh Letter, and international graffiti artist Pose worked together to create this color way for Spy’s Platoon snowboard goggle.
“We provided Pose the blank canvas of the Platoon and let him take full advantage,” says Brent Sandor, SPY brand manager. “The SPY + Pose sharpie that comes with it is the icing on the cake.” . . Pulling graphics from several large scale paintings, the SPY + The Seventh Letter + Pose Platoon bleeds his trademark graffiti style on both the inside and outside of the goggle strap, is accented with raised, sign painter inspired 3D patches and carries the Pose seal of approval in the form of his signature logo emblazoned onto the lens.
SPY + The Seventh Letter + POSE retails for $150 and comes with a “fully sublimated microfiber pouch and a free yellow bonus lens” for those super stormy days. For the official word from Spy, follow the jump. [click to continue…]
Portland, Oregon based wood iPhone covering makers Grove have teamed up with recycled skateboard jewelry makers MapleXO on a iPhone 5 back protector called the SkateBack.
The sustainable SkateBack for iPhone 5 or 4/4s is made of 100% post-industrial skate board material. Crafted here in our workshop, this recycled adhesive adornment protects the back of your phone and comes in three color schemes. No two are exactly alike!
It’s not a case that covers the whole phone, just the back. The SkateBack currently sells for $39.00.
Spy jumps face first into the retro pool with a new series of glasses called The Whitewalls.
“The Whitewall Series is inspired by the timelessness of the ‘40s ‘50s and ‘60s,” says Brent Sandor, SPY brand manager. “Hot rods and whitewall tires, cruising with the top down on a Sunday. We’ve taken the elements that embody the classic greaser look to create pieces that are easily wearable, yet thoughtfully inspired by some of the most iconic moments in fashion history.”
We were just thinking: we’re taking our retro, easy riding choppers out to the desert to sleep on the ground next to some cactus, shoot guns, listen to loud 60s music, and drink beer around a huge bonfire, but we have nothing to wear. Luckily, Brixton and Polerhave teamed up to produce the perfect T-shirt and hat for our strange trip.
The Summit (follow the jump) is a six-panel cap featuring pull down earflaps that tie in the front and a custom printed lining. . . the Pine (above), a premium fit tee featuring custom artwork that comes in three colors.
Airlines are hard on things—bags especially. Burton’s Wheelie Flight Deck is made to get your gear home and back in one piece. The well thought out, bulletproof airline approved carry-on rolls smooth thanks to Burton’s skate-style IXION wheels and features a removable laptop bag perfect for grabbing some last minute in-flight entertainment.
Available in six color ways including a True Black style, this bag should be in everyone’s travel quiver whether they’re taking their first trip or on their 50th cruise.
We’ve been rocking an older version of this bag for years, gone thousands of miles and it’s still rolling, but this year’s Bombay Block Party print (right) has thinking about an upgrade.
The Wheelie Flight Deck retails for $219.95. We recommend that you click to buy.
It was two years ago today (November 2, 2010) that the social media world began passing messages that the unthinkable had happened. Three-time ASP World Champion Andy Irons had died, alone in a Dallas, Texas hotel room while traveling home to Hawaii from the Rip Curl Pro Search Puerto Rico. The entire surf world was stunned, shocked, and heartbroken and in many ways we still are today.
Andy Irons touched so many lives in so many different ways. And, Billabong is working to keep AI’s memory alive and to support to his widow and son.
Out of respect and acknowledgement of Andy’s legacy we continue to dedicate the Billabong Pipe Masters in his memory. . . Billabong is also proud to announce the new global AI Forever collection for release in Summer 2013 in stores and online March 15, in the USA. Proceeds from the AI Forever line will go toward ongoing guaranteed support for Andy’s wife Lyndie and young son Axel.
That’s how you take care of family. Nice work, Billabong.
