Snowboarder Magazine appears to have spent most of the summer (and the spring) asking every single pro they ran into if they’ve ever spent more than 30 minutes on a sticker job. You may be surprised by some of the answers. We actually weren’t. And to answer the question: No. We never cluster our snowboards. Ever.

Australia’s Jack Freestone slipped into his second Oakley World Pro Junior Championship in Bali today (October 16, 2012) by .06 of a point against Hawaii’s Ezekiel Lau 13.83 to 13.77.
“It’s amazing to follow in Joel [Parkinson’s] footsteps,” Freestone said. “He’s my favorite surfer and we’re both from Coolangatta, so it feels amazing right now. He’s on the Men’s ASP World Championship Tour, that’s where I want to be. So hopefully this gives me the confidence to know that I can get there.”

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Spy has taken the opportunity to add to their collaboration with the Keep A Breast Foundation with a couple new shades that add to the Spy + Keep A Breast Zed snow goggle. For instance the new Keep A Breast Helm.
“The crew at Keep A Breast are innovators when it comes to incorporating health education into the lives of active people,” says Kevin Casillo, SPY marketing manager. “SPY aims to give back wherever we can, and it doesn’t get any better than partnering with a local non-profit that’s causing world-wide awareness about an issue that impacts millions every year.”
Spy will donate $5 from every sunglass to Keep A Breast. Follow the jump from more on the complete Spy + Keep A Breast collaboration. [click to continue…]

Spy is stoked to announce that they have someone to manage their elite surf team. It’s Chris Abad.
A respected and experienced pro surfer, Abad brings added authenticity to SPY’s booming eyewear business, which has seen tremendous growth over the last year and a half. . . “If you can’t out-surf Abad, you may be taken off our roster,” laughs Devon Howard, SPY marketing director. “In all seriousness, his former team manager roles, Surf Ride retail experience, and event marketing at SPY this past year make him a natural fit. But he’s more than just another guy with a great resume. Everyone loves Abad—he’s good people.”
Congrats, Chris. For the official word, follow the jump. [click to continue…]

The best part about watching Buoloco interviews is the facial expressions of people while they try to figure out what Ed is saying. Paul Rodriguez is not immune. Watch as the professional manages to stay professional in the face of nearly impossible to understand questions.

Seeing as five of Plan B’s skaters also ride for Nixon, both crews thought it would be awesome to put their heads together. The result is The Soundclash Project.
The Soundclash Project is made up of new pro model boards representing Paul Rodriguez, Torey Pudwill, Ryan Sheckler, Danny Way and Colin McKay. Each board features pre-applied custom grip tape, corresponding custom wheels and a custom color update to Nixon’s TPS (mobile speaker). This collar is now available on nixon.com/soundclash and select skate shops worldwide in limited quantities and once they sell out, they are gone forever.
A skate deck, wheels, and a Nixon TPS. Click here to snap one up now, or follow the jump from more info and photos. [click to continue…]
