We’ve been charmed lately by Ms. Enever’s solid surfing and saucy dance moves, but now Stab magazine is sharing a few images from their Hard-cover book along with an interview with ASP Women’s tour number 3 about getting undressed for Stab.
We had a stylist who picked out heaps of clothes but I ended up, uh, kinda not wearing clothes at all. But, it was really cool. I walked out of the shoot feeling like I’d grown up five years. It was, like, a confidence boost to know that I could feel comfortable with myself taking those types of photos. At first, I was a bit freaked out and then I got more confident; it made me more confident in my body image. I’ve never done anything quite like that and it opened my eyes. I walked out and went, whoa, what just happened?
Strangely, after seeing the photos, we were thinking the same thing.
Perennial ASP number two Taj Burrow is reportedly building a AUS$3 million palace in Yallingup in Western Australia. The “palatial beach house” is reportedly being built in the shape of a nautilus shell, according to a story on Perth Now.
The stylish three-storey mansion will feature a plunge pool, tiled outdoor bar and entertaining areas and sprawling open-plan kitchen, with cedar cladding and polished and off-form concrete throughout. . . It was designed by renowned Dunsborough architect Dane Richardson, of Dane Designs Australia. One resident in the street said the property would be the “ultimate bachelor pad” for Yallingup’s most famous resident.
It’s nice to see Taj staying local with a local designer. Richardson obviously has serious skills. Our only question is: when’s the open house?
Chris Pastras and Jason Lee are proud to announce that Kyle Leeper is now on Stereo.
“We are more than proud and stoked to work with a skater who not only reminds us of our favorites from previous generations, but also one who’s actions speak louder than his words. That being said, We’ll let his welcome video speak for itself…
Appears to be, as they say in business, a “good fit.”
Surfers are a different breed. They are special. And no one is more of a surfer than The Surfer. And according to a story on The Surfer’s Path, comedian/actor Dominic Coleman’s surfer:
. . . perfectly captures the English mid-life surfer-yuppie archetype in all his lack of glory. He’s shockingly real, and while you may or may not recognize someone you know, or even yourself, in this film, the deeply shallow surf philosophies that underpin this character are arguably universal.
Panamanian surfer Gary Saavedra reportedly just broke two Guinness World Record for standing behind a boat on a surfboard for three hours 55 minutes on Saturday, March 19, 2011, according to a story on Newsroom Panama.
Saavedra, holder of 13 Panama surfing titles surfed for three hours 55 minutes over a distance of 41.3 miles on waves created by a power boar. Both achievements qualify as world records for surfing behind a static wave and were witnessed by representatives of The Guinness Book of World Records.
We just waiting for the Red Bull extreme documentary coverage of this epic event. Got a great title idea: Standing Behind A Boat. Follow the jump to watch the video of Gary doing just that.
The event kicks off with halfpipe and slopestyle qualifiers on Thursday, semis’ on Friday, and the finals on Saturday followed by a free concert from La Roux. For more information on all the all-girl action at Mammoth Mountain next weekend click here or there.
If you’re in Southern California this weekend and you want to support a good cause (Grind For Life), cruise on down to San Diego to the Mission Valley YMCA/Krause Family Skate and Bike Park for The Clash At Clairemont 5. The event, which is normally packed so full of people that it’s difficult to tell what is going on, will include skate demos by Tony Hawk, Andy Macdonald, Bucky Lasek, and many more; an Am Best Trick contest, a pro vert high ollie contest (figure it out), and music by OG punk rockers Agent Orange(hard to believe they’re still doing it, but they are).
Yesterday was Thursday, Thursday, Thursday, today it is Friday, Friday, we so exciting. . . Tomorrow is Saturday and Sunday comes after that, apparently.
