The Bethany Hamilton bio-pic Soul Surfer doesn’t hit theaters until April 8, 2011, but until then here is a little clip the fictional Bethany Hamilton (AnnaSophia Robb) and Alana Blanchard (Lorraine Nicholson) try to finagle a little late night surf session out of Bethany’s mom.
Hollywood makes everything look so bright and sparkly doesn’t it?

For a while now we’ve been surprised that Dennis Busenitz wasn’t cleaning up at pretty much every contest he enters. Sometime it causes us to wonder if the judges are watching the same skater we are. On Sunday (March 13, 2011) at the 2011 Tampa Pro, however, everyone saw the same thing. And it was crazy. Click the link for the rest of the action or here for the final results.

Two Boyne, Michigan thieves rolled off with two snowboards from Boyne Highlands right under the watchful gaze of the security camera. If they look familiar, turn them in. (Watch them dance off at the very end of the clip.)

The is the first of the four The Skateboard Mag Woodward West Shootout videos we’ve seen, and the ender of the four-week-long contest. As TSM says:
Four teams. Four weeks. Four videos. Part flimer challenge, part editing challenge, part team challenge. . . This week — this final week — it’s Birdhouse’s team-video absurdities at Woodward West that we’re blessed with.
Blessed indeed. For your Thursday afternoon skate viewing pleasure make sure to watch it to the end. Jaws Homoki has a big surprise in store.

We’ve been wondering how Danny Davis’ recovery has been going since some reportedly late night sledding landed him in a Salt Lake City hospital in January of 2010. From the looks of this, he’s right back on track.
