Josh Kerr absolutely rips on a surfboard. I should know, I was having a coronary in the announcing booth at The Quiksilver Pro NY surf contest last week when Kerrzy decided to go apeshit and turn his heat into a video part. These pro-model shorts are an undergarment of sorts. Meant to be worn under your board shorts to keep the boys in check. They act as a compression short. This can be very important if you suffer from the dreaded long nut* syndrome or if you are going anywhere that sea lice can sting you on your pee pee.

* From Urban Dictionary
Long Nut: when a man’s scrotum becomes stretched out over time and hangs lower than it should.
i.e.-you know you have long nuts when you get a temperature reading of toilet water whenever you take a number two.
potential causes: inadequate support for the hairy beanbag during impact sports

If you like your skateboards like works of art, then check out the meticulous detail that is going into these decks. Pinstriping takes a very steady hand. It seems like it would be a shame to do a lipslide with one of these decks.

Nixon is making moves in the audio department. Their new TPS speakers are USB charge-able, meaning you can take them with you to the beach or anywhere you need audio enhancement. I put it in my bicycle basket and roll around town blaring obscure indie music. The speakers hold a charge for 3 or 4 hours as far as I can tell – I was impressed.

Sweep the leg Johnny. I always thought Johnny was a total douche cookie in Karate Kid. I mean … he was a total dick. Now, you can be a total dick just like him. Grab yourself one of Jack’s Surfboards sweatshirts and start intimidating anyone even remotely looking like Ralph Macchio.

Tyler Bledsoe’s new shoe from Etnies just dropped. It’s a nice mid top so you have all important support and at least some ankle protection against the dreaded shark bite a stray skateboard can dish out.

DC Skateboarding’s new casual-looking Teak model is handsome enough to wear to a wedding, yet savage enough to catch a frontside flip clean.

Quiksilver will be responsible for some heated chest-puffing exchanges at the local watering hole this summer. Your favorite NFL teams licensed on Quiksilver’s Diamond Dobby trunks. This summer, it’s the Chargers and the Oakland Raiders. I know Pipeline charger and over-sized man-baby Reef Macintosh almost tinkled himself when he got his new San Diego Chargers trunks in the mail.

Quik’s Cypher board shorts have little plastic squirt guns on them. That’s why they’re called the squirters. I knew someone we called “The Squirter” in high school … although, for a totally different reason.

Nothing says summer more than roasting a carcass on a hot grill. Oh … you’re vegetarian? Well, I suppose you could grill up some corn or veggie burgers or something? While you’re doing that, us real men will be eating and talking about meat.

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.
