Do you want to shoot action sequence photos of tre flips down 30 sets but all you have is your iPhone?  Thank goodness that there is an app for that. Now if there was only an app that would let you actually land tricks and stop wasting gigs upon gigs of memory.

Pete Mel is a friend of mine.  Pete is a Maverick’s legend. Maverick’s will kill your ass and then feed you to sharks. I love reading anything that has to do with the mythical Half Moon Bay enormo break. Did I mention I am friends with Pete Mel?

Yes … I said it … Go Skateboarding Day is better than Christmas. So get out there today and skate your face off.

If you like rally cars, Ken Block, video games & beer – click like. The new Dirt3 game is out now. It features a variety of new modes, like Ken Block’s famous Gymkhana segments. The graphics are all time. You can almost feel the dirt hitting you in the face as you Scandi flick around corners. I was kidding about beer being in the game … but you can still drink a beer while playing.

Don’t let the title of this book throw you off. It’s actually about this guy who throws himself into the sport of surfing and basically just blows it in the water his first couple times. Becoming so obsessed with surfing ( as most do ), he packs up, moves to the West Coast, travels around learning about the ocean and the sport he fell in love with.

A few of my friends here in Encinitas are in a band called Kut U Up. They’re friends with a bunch of cool-guy bands like Blink 182 and Green Day. A few years back (when Chris Cote had hair) Tom Delonge decided it would be a great idea to take them on the road and film them opening up for all the hot-shots. This video is what happens when you give hyper-kids a bunch of beer, a budget for more beer and set them free on the musical road. Get this, you won’t regret it. Well, you might regret it, but you will laugh at least once. They’re also reuniting, playing at the Belly Up in Solana Beach in July.
