Tar balls and a serious stink in the air isn’t stoping Pensacola Beach surfers from getting a few good waves even though BP has fouled up the gulf with their oil spill, according to a report on NTDTV.com
“This is a real shocker. I’m probably going to be real cautious today in what I do and where I go and what I see. But, like I said, we’re very stubborn,” said Blake Famer. “We’ll get in shark-infested, nasty waters. We’re borderline suicidal, I guess.”
Innerlight Surf Shop’s Yancy Spencer says the oil debacle is already hurting his business.
“It’s already affected our business. We own rental places too and we’ve had people canceling their week here. And then surfboard sales to summer surfers, that’s what we call people who don’t really surf year round, who surf when the weather gets nice, those sales have dropped off almost instantly.”
But it’s nice to know that BP is already giving Florida money to promote the fact that Florida beaches are still “open for business.”
The New York Post is there for the official opening of the Maloof Money Cup park at NYC’s Flushing Meadows. Steve Rodriguez, Lauren Perkins, Jereme Rogers, and Steve Van Doren even get a couple words in. For photos check out Interstatemag.com.
Something about this Great White Shark video from Pacific Palisades doesn’t look quite right. Is it the odd lighting? We’re no experts on video editing, we’re skeptical.
[Editors’ Note: Thought we had this two years ago, but now we can’t seem to find it. Here it is again just for fun.]
Few surfers put up with more to get less than the surfers of Cleveland, Ohio. They actually paddle out in the somewhat suspect waters of Lake Erie whenever there are waves and they actually like it.
Sam George’s documentary Hollywood Don’t Surf, has been getting much of the action attention in Cannes this year, however, it wasn’t the only surf film at the famous French Film Festival this year. Bjorn Ritchie Lob’s Keep Surfing, is one of them.
Sadly, it’s in German so we have no idea what they are saying. Nice boobs though.
With the mortgage crisis have come pools. Empty pools. And many of them in Fresno. Which is probably one of the only reason’s you’d want to visit Fresno. . .
When a action sports clothing company (Comune) refers to its own promotional snowboard film as “avant-garde” and uses an infamous 1960s anti-establishment art colony in Colorado (Drop City) as its main inspiration to help it move product through the malls of America (Urban Outfitters, Pac Sun) it’s difficult not to chuckle.
When the title of that black and white film is as pretentious as “Black Holes and Invisible Forces Bending Time Through Particle Deformations Creating Infinite Freedom in the Garden on the Moon,” it almost becomes farcical.
That said, the new Comune teaser Burn The Witch is fun to watch no matter we look at it.
