Curated by Arkitip has enlisted the art skills of Craig Stecyk for a new line of Incase iPhone 3 and Macbook protective coverings. If only they’d made some iPhone 4 cases we’d order one up directly. For more info click the link.

Just a reminder: The Von Zipper/Air Tahiti Nui Trials at Teahupo’o begin tomorrow and the 2010 Billabong Pro Teahupo’o begins August 23, 2010. Looks like the wave is ready. Laurie Towner gets a little toss in this video. Ouch. . .

Every year Volcom chooses a theme and sticks to it for the entire trade show season. They’ve done hippies, hillbillies, and this year they raved it up with Volcom Techno Beach.
This clip is only one minute long. By the time the 2010 Fall Action Sports Retailer Show closes on Sunday, August 15, 2010 Volcom employees will have relived this minute 1,380 times. And then they will get to do it all again at Surf Expo next month, and at SIA in Janaury 2011. How’s that for dedication to the brand?

We’ve always admired the work of San Clemente, California based shaper Cole Simlar, but have never spoken with him. Kind of bummed on that after watching this video. Some of his work will be on display at the Billabong Art of Shaping: Orange County Edition August 13-14, 2010 at the ASR Trade Show.

For the second year in a row we’ve hung out at the Converse Coastal Carnage mini park for practice. Something about the smaller crowds, missing TV cameras, and no pressure often makes practice more fun to watch than the finals. But don’t let that stop you from watching the qualifiers and finals live on the US Open of Surfing website on Saturday and Sunday August 7-8, 2010.
Follow the jump for the 12 finalists who will skate on Sunday.

There is a lot of skate action going down this week that isn’t The Street League. What better time for Rob Dyrdek to kick down all the details on The Street League? And yeah, he’s pretty convincing.

Apparently, Trouble Andrew can’t walk because he’s ingested sixteen beers and he can’t talk because he has smoked fifteen marijuana cigarettes. Now it appears he needs a ride home, girl.
Trouble’s new video sounds like a fantasy date come true. Nice to see Mr. Andrew knows his demo so well. . . he’s rebellious.

During a Quiksilver demo at Anaheim, California’s Downtown Disney at 6 PM Saturday, July 24, 2010 Tony Hawk slammed harder than he has in a long time. “Did a tailbone 5 & my foot was a little off, sent me into b/s revert (chicken-neck) to flat,” he said on Twitter. “Hit my back & head HARD,” he said.
The fall resulted in a trip to the UC Irvine Trauma Center, according to Tony’s Twitter feed.
Doctors there told Tony that he had a “Pelvic vertical shear injury” & a hematoma,” Hawk said on @TonyHawk. “All I know is: I can’t lift my legs & it sucks.”
A little later things were looking up. “Thank you for all the well wishes,” he said. “Hooray for morphine & fentanyl, big fan.”
We are amazed that Tony was able to walk back out on to the ramp, thank everyone for coming, and promo the rest of the guys in the demo as injured as he was. The man is all pro. All the time.

In our continuing series of local news vs. action sports we present Newport Beach’s Andrew Doheny as he sarcastically decimates the bubble heads on Fox LA’s Good Morning LA via Skype. Nice work, Mr. Doheny.

This pretty much sums up everything that is wrong with local news. Overweight sports guys, quick new bites, and chaos.
