Penny Skateboards is launching a new series of bright and colorful decks just in time for the holidays. We checked them out at the Agenda Show yesterday and the Resin, Polka, Aztec, and Hawaiian are just as bright in person as they look on video. Check ’em.

Last September man about the surf Dan Malloy (and friends Kanoa Zimmerman and Kellen Keene) rode his bicycle down the California coast to check things out at a slower pace, catch some surf, and of course, create another Malloy multimedia masterpiece.
In this instance the creation is a book titled Fast Is Slow and a short film called Moving Pictures. Dan is spending August 2013 touring California with the book and film and you can check all three of them out if you’re in the area. The Slow Is Fast tour begins in Mill Valley, California on August 2, 2013. For a full list of tour locations, follow the jump. [click to continue…]

Wetsuit developers SAMS (Shark Attack Mitigation Systems) have created some wetsuits that mess with sharks heads, but not in a bad way, according to a story in the Daily Mail. Apparently, sharks use their sense of smell to find prey, however, they use their eyes just before they chomp down.
The Diverter wetsuit has navy and white stripes that are seen on some poisonous animals and fish to make the shark think they diver is dangerous. . . The designers have also created matching surfboard stickers. . . According to SAMS, years of anecdotal evidence suggests that a stripe pattern acts as a deterrent or repellent to sharks.
Not looking like something that sharks want to eat is always a good thing.

Lost your nerves on anything over a three set? Got no pop? Tired of picking up your skateboard to walk down the stairs? The Stair-Rover is here to help.
The unique eight-wheeled mechanism makes the board equally at home cruising smooth pavements or gliding down steps. From the curb outside your house to a double flight of stairs, the Stair-Rover scuttles over obstacles with ease. . . On flat ground, Stair-Rover is the equal of any traditional longboard. But when the surface gets rough – cobblestones or uneven paving, for example – the chassis goes to work. It reduces impact and keeps you moving.
If you’re inspired, you can even help the developers fund their project on Kickstarter.

It’s been a while since we’ve been this stoked on a music listening device as we’ve been lately with Nixon’s new, brightly colored, Bluetooth, shock and water resistant Blaster. It’s so much better than headphones. In fact, the speaker is so light and easy to pair with a smartphone that we immediately wanted to throw it in our big back pocket and skate around annoying strangers Survivor’s Eye of The Tiger turned up really, really loud. Truth.
With a custom audio signature, BIG bold sound, a 12+ hour battery life and compact styling, it’s a true portable music experience. A speaker that feels right at home in or outside of the four walls, The Blaster was created for a life well lived and the adventures that come along with it.
Better yet, every time we turn our’s off we hear a short message from Todd Richards. For the official word from Nixon, follow the jump.

Australian writer Clementine Ford is not happy with the new promo piece for the 2013 Roxy Pro starring Stephanie Gilmore. No, she doesn’t like the fact that the surfer’s face is never shown nor does she like the absence of surfing in the spot. In fact, she doesn’t like much about it, according to her story on Daily Life.
Because the most amazing thing female surfers can do has precisely nothing to do giving a hidden audience a boner. And while it’s almost amazing that most women spend the majority of their lives in an unacknowledged performance that begins sometime in childhood and ends when menopause makes them invisible once more, our most spectacular achievements (and failures) are unrelated to how appreciative (or dismissive) that hidden audience is of our beauty.
Oh, that again. . . to watch the video (and apparently get a boner and an unnatural attraction to the HTC One) click the link.

Hard to believe that season one of Surf House is finally over. It seems like only yesterday that we were just getting to know the abs and asses that populate the show and now we’re shedding a tear as they say goodbye. Join us for this fond farewell, and maybe just one last glimpse of some taut, tan, and wet skin.
