In an innovative twist, the latest surf video from Volcom strays far afield from the formulaic action sports film genre and into completely new, uncharted artistic waters. The “creative short film,” titled Obscurite, features a scared, frantic, confused yet well dressed blonde woman running from something that we never see. Directed and produced by artist Mike Aho the film includes absolutely no skateboarding, surfing, or snowboarding. How French.
[Editors’ Note: Sorry, apparently, this new “creative short” is not a surf video, and is, in fact, a fashion video which was not intended to feature any action sports at all. We apologize for this misunderstanding.]
Joe Carlino and Tanner Pendleton captured from pretty good footage of Jed Anderson and put it all together in this little Nike/Salomon joint titled In Full. Watch and weep.
We haven’t smiled this much watching a skate edit in a long time. There’s just something about Terry Kennedy and Kevin Romar rolling around on that bike. Just rollin’. Follow the jump for the details behind the new Supra Pro-Am collection.. [click to continue…]

Spring Break is the snowboard/art project created by Corey Smith in which he and his friends make absurdist art snowboards, take them out into the snow, and ride them.
This year Ben Rice, Eric Messier, and Corey Smith took the boards to Mt. Bachelor and filmed in all it artistic, blur/pan, slow-mo glory. And yes, we have to admit that it all works beautifully all the way around. Scrap wood never looks so good.

No, they’re not drinking. David Gonzalez and Louie Lopez just did their time with Erica Yary and Rob Brink on the Weekend Buzz. And it’s worth watching for sure.
Last night Burton premiered their new film 13 at locations around the world. We attended the kickoff in Newport Beach, California and someone apparently captured the most of the opening sequence of the film. So, until we hear otherwise, here it is, live from the Lido Theater. Crowd noise included free of charge. If you want to watch the official version, click the link. We’ll have more soon.
The opening sequences of the 1985 James Bond film A View To A Kill featured one of Tom Sims most visible snowboarding moments and helped introduce pop culture to snowboarding. Even in the midst of the hailstorm of bullets, explosions, and chasers you still get a great feel for Sims’ timeless snowboard style.
