Micah has become famous the world over for his super-stoked post surf interview. He’s even been auto-tuned into a song that you will never get out of your head. Now, he’s gotten the Tosh.0 treatment and yes, it’s funny.

Each time Santa Monica, California high-school teacher Benjamin Kay goes surfing he picks up all the trash he finds brings it back to throw away, according to a story in the Santa Monica Mirror. The photo above is just one Sunday’s catch. Now he’s trying to get more people involved with a Paddle Clean-up.
“I’d like to engage the surfing, boogie board, paddle board, kayak, and diving communities in an aquatic cleanup to help us all get on the same page about the reasons for and sources of plastic pollution and build a greater activist coalition,” he said. “I heard a guy in the water yesterday blame beach-going litter bugs for the problem, but the reasons for plastics into our oceans is much more complex than that.”
If everyone does a little. . .

All we can say about this Break The Bank video teaser from filmmaker Justin Dersham is that this is the only time we’ve ever watched a mountainboarding edit and thought for a moment, “Hey, this doesn’t look so bad.” But then they started riding them on the street and. . . we realized how wrong we were.

The ever-so-hot boardsports trade publishing market heats up in November 2011 with the launch of ActionSports Merchandising from Broomfield, Colorado based Nation Business Media.
It would appear that Bonnier Corp’s rocketing TransWorld Business print successes have inspired others to dive in on the recession fueled trade advertising bonanza.
ASM will reportedly feature these novel ideas:
Timely coverage will offer insight into what’s on snow, skate and surf retailers’ radar at the moment and into the future. A cross section of contributing writers lending their voice to the magazine come from throughout the industry, including reps, brands, shop owners and managers, along with retail business consultants, marketing and social media professionals, merchandising specialists, reputable writers and others.
NBM’s main business appears to be in trade magazines and at least one traveling trade show (The NBM Show) that represents several of their categories. They publish print magazines like RV Pro, Awards & Engraving, Sign & Digital Engraving and Printwear.
While ASM Publisher Jay Driscoll has been in the trade show business since 1999 neither he nor editor Heather Fried appear to have any experience in the action sports business. While that may be a good thing, it is difficult to imagine a scenario in which ActionSports Merchandising will find success (even with Yea.Nice co-founder Josh Sherman selling ads). Nation Business Media, however, appears to be optimistic.

When a baby Great White shark washed up on Venice Beach, California with a hook in its mouth, it didn’t take long for a crowd to arrive. Luckily, the crowd included one man who was not afraid to remove the hook with his bare hands.
Viewer Elvia sent in this video of the rescue, saying the shark became stranded on the sand near the Venice Pier after it latched on to a fishing hook. . . “The rescuers were heroes,” she said, as her camera captured surfers and other good samaritans trying to lead the Great White back to the water.
While it appears that the surfers in the video did very little in the rescue, it was a nice contrast to that horrifying shark fishing video that was going around earlier this month.

We’re going to officially add Snowboarder Magazine’s Pat Bridges to the list of snowboarders who can act better than they ride. This new Nike Snowboarding parody of the old Bo Knows campaigns (“Danny Don’t Know”) proves it once and for all. We’re still laughing just thinking about how nice it must be for Mr. Bridges to get checks from both Source Interlink and Nike at the same time.
