Apparently, Danny Way’s ten-year-old dream has been to build his very own Mega ramp in at his house in Kauai. Looks like he’s finally done it.
Here’s the story of how Danny rediscovered his dream and brought to life this never before been constructed ramp he envisioned a decade ago.
Sadly, to see the results of this dream you’ll have to see his movie Waiting for Lightning, because this is just a teaser.

Last night, April 10, 2012, most everyone was in Hollywood for the premiere of the Danny Way bio-pic Waiting For Lightning at the ArcLight Cinerama Dome.
Following the premiere everyone rolled over to the for an after party at The Roosevelt Hotel.
If you (like us) missed the movie and all the Hollywood celebrity action, just click right here to see all the photos of stars like Danny Way and his Mom (above), Ken Block, Tommy Lee, The Dingo, Johnny Knoxville, Daryl Hannah, Steve-O, and Adriana Patridge.
We’re guessing there were some skaters there as well, but not many of them made the red carpet cut it seems.

The often funny Illicit Snowboarding site has rolled through some stock photo sites and pulled together a collection of photos of women who don’t appear to know how to properly carry a snowboard (or dress for winter). It’s funny. Check it out.

Sometimes things just get uglier and uglier. The Street Ratings downgraded Quiksilver’s stock today (April 11, 2012) from a hold to a sell, accordion got a post on The Street.
The company’s weaknesses can be seen in multiple areas, such as its deteriorating net income, disappointing return on equity, weak operating cash flow, generally weak debt management and generally disappointing historical performance in the stock itself.
But the downgrade didn’t seem to bother the stock all that much. It was up a penny midday. Click the link for more of the details.

On May 5, 2012 (yes, it’s Cinco de Mayo) Laguna Beach, California’s AR4T Gallery will host an opening reception for Ben Brough’s new solo show, Lights Out Beach City.
Lights Out Beach City expands on the highly vagrant work imagined by Brough over fourteen years using space, color, cartooning, collage, and painting techniques. Screeching imagery of food, music, coastal living, cinema, sex and landscapes in styles and mediums selected to clash by intention. Using mediums “found within arm’s reach” and presenting the show in a space as imagined, designed and installed by Brough, the viewer will be presented with a raucous landscape that brings to mind the fast and hard-edged DIY ethic only ever found lurking in the deepest subcultures of youth and punk rock. Brough’s ‘Lights Out Beach City’: art anthem of summer 2012.
The opening starts at 6 PM. AR4T is located at 210 North Coast Highway, in Laguna Beach, California. Follow the jump for more info. [click to continue…]

The Nike Lowers Pro returns to San Clemente, California May 1 – 5, 2012. The ASP Prime contest features at $250,000 prize purse and maybe even a few touring pros that don’t surf for Nike.
With a win at the Nike Lowers Pro equivalent in ratings points to a third-place finish at an ASP World Tour event, it’s typical to see many of the World’s Elite 34 in the line up. Past winners have included: 11-time World Champion Kelly Slater (Cocoa Beach, Fla.), the late, great three-time World Champion Andy Irons (Hanalei, Haw.), Rob Machado (Encinitas, Calif.) and Tom Curren (Santa Barbara, Calif.), to name just a few.
So yeah, this is a pretty serious contest. Click the year for photos from past Nike Lowers Pros: 2011, 2010 or follow the jump for the official word. [click to continue…]

Attention surf fans: after his second place finish at the Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach, Mr. Kelly Slater is once again leading the ASP World Tour Rankings. The ASP is doing all they can to get the word out for a couple reasons: one, because Slater is the tour (and the tour is already shortened), and two, they’re teasing him into chasing down his Slater’s Dozen. If Kelly wins, we all win. Yay! But will he surf Brazil? [click to continue…]
