OFF! is a “super group” lead by ex-Black Flag singer Keith Morris and they are reportedly bringing “back everything we loved about old school West Coast skate culture.” Sounds good to us.

Police say Kevin McGarry, 42, of Ocean Township was found face down off the Jersey Shore’s Roosevelt Avenue Beach Wednesday afternoon April 11, 2012. He was wearing a wetsuit and still attached to his surfboard, according to a story on NJ.com.
He is not believed to have been in the water for an extended period of time when a fisherman spotted him near a rocky jetty off of Roosevelt Avenue, said borough police spokesman Capt. Earl Alexander. . . An autopsy will be conducted tomorrow to determine a cause of death, he said.
According to officials, it appears McGarry died “as the result of a surfing accident.” Our thoughts are with McGarry’s family and friends.

On May 5, 2012 (yes, it’s Cinco de Mayo) Laguna Beach, California’s AR4T Gallery will host an opening reception for Ben Brough’s new solo show, Lights Out Beach City.
Lights Out Beach City expands on the highly vagrant work imagined by Brough over fourteen years using space, color, cartooning, collage, and painting techniques. Screeching imagery of food, music, coastal living, cinema, sex and landscapes in styles and mediums selected to clash by intention. Using mediums “found within arm’s reach” and presenting the show in a space as imagined, designed and installed by Brough, the viewer will be presented with a raucous landscape that brings to mind the fast and hard-edged DIY ethic only ever found lurking in the deepest subcultures of youth and punk rock. Brough’s ‘Lights Out Beach City’: art anthem of summer 2012.
The opening starts at 6 PM. AR4T is located at 210 North Coast Highway, in Laguna Beach, California. Follow the jump for more info. [click to continue…]

The Nike Lowers Pro returns to San Clemente, California May 1 – 5, 2012. The ASP Prime contest features at $250,000 prize purse and maybe even a few touring pros that don’t surf for Nike.
With a win at the Nike Lowers Pro equivalent in ratings points to a third-place finish at an ASP World Tour event, it’s typical to see many of the World’s Elite 34 in the line up. Past winners have included: 11-time World Champion Kelly Slater (Cocoa Beach, Fla.), the late, great three-time World Champion Andy Irons (Hanalei, Haw.), Rob Machado (Encinitas, Calif.) and Tom Curren (Santa Barbara, Calif.), to name just a few.
So yeah, this is a pretty serious contest. Click the year for photos from past Nike Lowers Pros: 2011, 2010 or follow the jump for the official word. [click to continue…]

Attention surf fans: after his second place finish at the Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach, Mr. Kelly Slater is once again leading the ASP World Tour Rankings. The ASP is doing all they can to get the word out for a couple reasons: one, because Slater is the tour (and the tour is already shortened), and two, they’re teasing him into chasing down his Slater’s Dozen. If Kelly wins, we all win. Yay! But will he surf Brazil? [click to continue…]
