Jussi Oksanen tells his side of the snowboarding movie making business in Burton 13: The Fourth Trailer.
Everybody is always helping each other and making sure, if I get a shot then I’m just going to chill and help Mikey get his shot. That’s far more important than me getting five shots on one jump. If you get shots, obviously it’s going to make you feel better, but a long as somebody is getting rad shots, that’s what it’s all about.

Yesterday, (August 28, 2012) a 50-year-old surfer riding waves created by Hurricane Isaac drowned after getting caught in a rip current near Packery Channel in Corpus Christi, Texas, according to a story in KIIItv.com.
Nearby surfers were able to pull him to shore and start CPR. Paramedics got to the scene minutes later. Unfortunately, the man did later die at the hospital. . . “There is a very strong current out there right now,” said Timothy Netek with the Corpus Christi Fire Department. “As you can tell, even the surfers are taking it very cautiously. Anybody without a lot of experience in this water should avoid it at this time.”
Our thoughts are with the surfer’s family and friends.
Penny Organic(the boards we saw at Agenda NYC) are going nation wide on September 1, 2012. These plastic fantastic decks, which feature an ingredient that makes them completely biodegradable, will come in a slew of new color ways.
Penny Founder Ben Mackay said, “We’re continually trying to raise the bar with our products and the Penny Organic range is no different. We’ve put a lot of time and energy into making sure the boards ride well, are durable, and of course look good. Every Organic Skateboard comes wrapped in a custom burlap tote bag that perfectly complements the range. The result is a product that really challenges just what truly is possible with plastic skateboards”.
