To promote their cruiser skateboards Globe did what any skateboarding company would do. They loaded up the Ace Palm Springs Hotel with a bunch of girls in bikinis (and topless); strategically stacked the booty in prime locations; and let the boys skateboard all over them them. And it works, because there is a dearth of booty in the world. Grow you quiver, indeed.

The Billabong Pro Tahiti waiting period begins tomorrow (Thursday, August 15. 2013) and it appears that 2011’s monster wave fest will not be repeated at stop number six of the 2013 ASP World Championship Tour.
Surfline, official forecasters for the Billabong Pro Tahiti, are calling for: A modest, mid period SW swell will build in Thursday before easing slowly on Friday. A smaller SW swell is possible for Sunday, with a series of small to modest SW to S swells possible for the last few days of the waiting period.
Remember that “modest” in Teahupo’o standards is 6 to 8 foot waves. So don’t cool your jets just yet. Click here for all the contest details, or follow the jump for the official word from the ASP. [click to continue…]

Timothy Hogan is a still life photographer who also surfs and while attempting to come up with a project that would merge the both pieces of his life he decided to focus on surfboard fins.
“I wanted to find merge to bring two passions together and to contribute something to the sport because it is an overlooked part of surfing that has never gotten to seen the light of day, “Hogan says. “The fin inventors who have really allowed surfing to progress have never been given the recognition that they deserve. The fin is probably the most important evolutionary point in surfing.”
The project includes a website, fine art prints (on sale now here), and eventually a book. And yeah, the photos look really good.

Liam Gallagher is out there capturing cool images, piecing them together, and making people smile. His latest effort is a titled Search for a Cool Place: Have a Nice Day. It should have been supported by the Oregon Department of Tourism, but we didn’t see their logo on it.

Fox News found a “surfer” from La Jolla who is on food stamps oh, no! Jason Greenslate has upped his global recognition a notch and Fox News has new villain with which to pound liberals. Sounds like a pretty smooth collab for everyone involved. Stir it up. . .

We don’t know who is really to blame for the global, viral spread of Anastasia Ashley’s butt cheeks Supergirl warm up routine, but we do have questions. Are these just the antics of a serious surfer girl who doesn’t care? Is this the calculated creation of a marketing wizard who knows exactly how to twerk it? Is obese America this hard up for toned ass? Occasionally, there are no answers.

Seems like only yesterday were were standing by the side of a rental car in the dirty Tyrol Basin parking lot using a setting sun as a light table to check out some of photographer Jeff Curtes‘ first snowboard images. Yes, he’s come a long way since then. But you know what’s even better? He’s still going. Check out this F-Stop Life In Focus video feature to see what the former Burton Snowboards lensman has been up to lately.

Want to see a little of what you missed if you weren’t at the Van Doren Invitational at Huntington Beach, California last weekend during the 2013 Vans US Open of Surfing? You missed some Greyson Fletcher for certain.

The streets of downtown Huntington Beach, California got a little out of control Sunday night (July 28, 2013) after the conclusion of the Vans US Open of Surfing. It seems some suburban SoCal kids were upset at a row of porta potties and they released some of their middle class rage by knocking them over.
According to a story in the LA Times eight people were arrested in a “riot” which reportedly started when someone threw a ketchup bottle into the street from an upstairs restaurant.
Eight people were arrested and several officers were injured Sunday night. Police in riot gear used tear gas and nonlethal rounds to disperse the crowd, which tipped over portable toilets and smashed storefront windows.
While “windows” plural is reportedly a bit of a stretch there was some damage to a few newspaper racks, signs, and at least one car window. It’s hard to really “riot” when you’ve got one hand on your cellphone and you’re trying to get it all on instagram.
