“I’m going to get in the ocean,” she told us. “I promised myself I’d learn how to surf this year. I surf a little bit and so I’ve got my pink surf board and I’m ready to get in the ocean. . . “I’m always learning new things. I think it’s really important as we get older to not think that you’re not too old to learn something new. It makes you live better.”
It’s difficult to believe there’s anything she hasn’t exposed herself to.
Each time we see someone taking a brand new Apple product and wrecking itwe’re reminded of the scene in the Steven Spielberg’s creepy movieAI where a crowd of screaming futuristic MMA fans get boners watching sad little robots being torn apart by machines.
Why does the world take so much joy in seeing “revolutionary and magical” products destroyed? Built To Shred’s Jeff King and Chad Knight probably can’t shed any light on that, but they know one thing for sure: it’s great for traffic.
Kevin Pearce was on NBC’s The Today Show this morning (May 4, 2010). And it’s so good to see him back home, back communicating, and apparently on his way to a full recovery.
The renovated barn next to the family house was always one of Kevin Pearce’s favorite places. There is a skateboard ramp out back and a giant recreation room inside, with three loftlike bedrooms above. . . Now it is the ultimate destination.
We’re happy he is finally home and we hope for his continued recovery. Click the link for the rest of the story.

Never really paid that much attention to Josh Kerr, but this trailer from his new self-produced bio-pic Kerrazy Kronicles is fixin’ to change all that. As Stab Mag says:
From the death drop to double-barrel at 50 seconds and the flurry of Lien grab oops, turns and tweaked punts, there’s enough here to suggest Julian and JOB have a dark horse to rival them for the year’s best profile film.
After two Westside teenagers were killed in the last six month, Santa Cruz Sentinel writer Jennifer Squires investigates the crossover between Westside surfers and gang bangers. As evidenced by the deaths of Tyler Tenorio, 16, and Carl Reimer, 19, sometimes it’s hard to tell.
Culture has changed,” said Santa Cruz Police Deputy Chief Rick Martinez, a Harbor High graduate. “There was a day when Eastside-Westside was a surf rivalry in our town. Now if you’re claiming Westside’ or Eastside,’ depending on the context, you could be representing a gang.” . . The east-west localism in Santa Cruz grew out of the community’s surfing tradition. As riding waves grew in popularity, kids stuck to the breaks in their neighborhoods and tried to keep outsiders from their favorite spots. . . . “Surfers tend to be a little territorial,” said John Mel, 63, who owns Freeline surf shop in Pleasure Point on the Eastside. “But it’s tongue in cheek.”
Flea is quoted as saying: “People need to not focus on Eastside-Westside rivalries, but instead realize everyone is from Santa Cruz.” Sadly, it’s the local battles that always seem the biggest. . .
As Eddie Wall says, “What started as a little sketch is now the Eddie Wall Ride Invitational. We have 30 of the best pros here. . . ” And it all went down at Mammoth Mountain on May Day. May 1, 2010. Tim Humphreys won it all and Peter Line won an iPad.
“I won $20,000 like then years ago. And this is way better than that,” Peter said. “Twenty grand goes right to bill. This is all for fun.”
These artists are known for their graphic language and the ‘pattern-like’ feel often associated with their artwork. The lightweight scarves, just in time for summer, were inspired by The Standard cities and represent each artist’s signature style. Up until this point, the scarves were only available in a preview sale to private collectors, but are now available to the public on www.shopthestandard.com, as well as at The Standard Spa Miami Beach, Downtown LA and New York boutiques.
The scarves are 24.7 x 70 inches and are made of a 50-50 blend of silk and cashmere for the super smooth feel. Only problem is they are $225. Then again that’s cheaper than an Hermés and infinitely cooler.
Already having tortured the world with her snowboarding (and her dancing) Pamela Anderson now claims that she’ going to learn to surf, according to a post on OK! (the British tabloid, not the shop).
