Today was the day that Yobeat launched their crowd sourced snowboarding edit live on the Internet and being true they posted it all up so all of us can reblast it on our own. So sit back, grab some popcorn and pretend you’re in the Spreckels Theater way back in day and watch the premiere right here.

The Sony Xperia Z is one of the first smartphones to be water resistant and who better to use it to save the world than Alana Blanchard. We laughed hardest at the line: “How will I communicate?” Because that’s the question we often have for Alana. . .hang ten, Alana. Hang ten.

In the never ending battle to look core, Volcom has announced some “exclusive” shoes with both Tilly’s and Zumiez. You know, to make the retail outlets feel good about Volcom’s other larger retail channels. Apparently, the Grim Mid is exclusively available at Tillys.com and the Grim Black & Charcoal Suede Shoe is available only at Zumiez. We can’t really tell the shoes apart, but apparently Volcom is expecting shoppers to make the pilgrimage to one store or the other to get the model they want. What? It could happen. We can’t all wear Vans or Nikes.

Souce Interlink, the parent company of GrindMedia which owns Transworld Media, announced today (August 21, 2013) that they have decided to “recapitalize the company.” In other words, they sold another piece of themselves to one of their current owners (GoldenTree Asset Management) in exchange for “enhanced liquidity” more cash.
“The tremendously improved capital structure will provide both Source Interlink Media and Source Interlink Distribution with the ability to maximize transformational opportunities across their respective industries,” said Michael L. Sullivan, president and chief executive officer of Source Interlink Companies. “This transaction will put both businesses in better positions to strengthen strategic partnerships and make investments to enhance their position in their respective industries.”
Yes, this means GrindMedia will have more money to get things done, so that’s likely good for them and not so good for their competitors (yes, they still have at least three in our space). If the action media business intrigues you, please follow the jump. [click to continue…]

NanoTune, makers of the board tuning technology that reportedly increases board speed using a “super slick hydrophobic (water repellent) coating” that is cured into surfboards, is also offering their secret speed formula in an easy to use rub-on packet called NanoSpeed Wipe. And it goes on the bottom of your board.
Nanotune will get you that glide that you desire, just apply to the bottom of your board and feel the difference.
Cutting edge nanotechnology, Less drag, more speed and elevated performance, Super slick hydrophobic ( water repellant) coating, Longer and smoother glide across the water surface, Extra barrier of UV protection, Increased speed, Great to travel with.
You know we could all use a little more speed. Plus, Lost’s Matt Biolos is backing it. Click the link for more info.

Ever since the GrindMedia consolidation of the action sports media business on May 20, 2013, there seems to have been nothing but changes for the employees of both companies (no duh!). The first casualty was Transworld Surf Magazine. Now, it’s GrindMedia’s turn to take a hit as the publisher has reportedly decided to stop what little print and digital operations Skateboarder Magazine had left and move forward with their leading skateboard media property TransWorld Skateboarding, according to a post on SkateDaily.net.
“Unfortunately market conditions have forced us to have to make the difficult decision to cease publication of Skateboarder,” said Norb Garrett, SVP Group Publisher of GrindMedia. “It’s especially disappointing given the strong interest and initial success we’ve had with the new digitally focused editions; our Skateboarder team has worked incredibly hard producing a cutting-edge product that has been successful at reaching a larger audience online. We will take all of the learnings from Skateboarder’s efforts and apply them to TransWorld Skateboarding and our other brands as the digital model has demonstrated real promise.”
Yes, they say you learn more in failure than in success. If that is true, then things should be looking up nicely for the crew at Transworld Skateboarding, indeed. This also means that there’s one more face off yet to be played between Snowboarder Magazine and Transworld Snowboarding. Wonder which way that one will go? Maybe they’ll both stay.

When our favorite snowboarding site Yobeat decided they wanted to make their own movie they did it the way any post-millennial media power house would. They crowd sourced it.
So for the first Yobeat movie, we opened the flood gates to the shred world and accepted submissions from anyone and everyone. This is our version of the 2012/13 season, with footage from all over the globe. The full flick drops on the Interwebs August 26th, 2013 at 9 am PST.
Here is a little teaser. Want to see the whole thing? Tune into Yobeat next Monday morning for the full edit.
