John Florence: Ultimate supergrom

As a caterpillar must become a butterfly, supergroms become whatever and the hell you consider this bro.

The End is (Relatively) Near

I bet the bro in the scuba gear is stoked

For Shred's Sake

Clearly Kilian Martin had a formal shreducation.

Dan Kass Speaks

This slice of sunshine was sent to me by our very own Head of Shred, Hough 'the Hags' Johnson. The story goes that Dan Kass stopped by the Wyndham in my hometown of Virginia Beach sometime during July 2010, looking for a place to kick back and probably throw a Dan Kass party. Mr. Kass allegedly walked into the hotel lobby, and asked to speak to the manager. Nonchalantly, he began rolling a joint with one hand and then proceeded to light it with a flourish from his Zippo lighter. The manager looked back at him, shocked and aghast, so Dan Kass raised the cannabis cigarette towards the man and offered him a smoke. Shmiidog, a bro employed at the Wyndham at the time recalls the event with clarity. "The clerk hit the J, and Dan Kass chuckled to himself. He remarked 'Take Rips; I Cheese.' The manager must have thought it was weak because he not only gave him a complimentary room, he had me put the phrase up on our sign."

Hugh Holland: Locals Only

Hugh Holland spent years of his life trying to catch the stoke; he did so not on a board, but through his lens.  Documenting the monumental split of surfing and skateboarding, Holland captures the essence of each boarder.  His work manipulates the environment around each skater, causing concrete to flow and form as fluid as a wave can.  His timeless photographs document this omnipresent wave and the golden age of board sports.

He is displaying "Locals Only" at M+B Gallery in Los Angeles, CA, now through December 4, 2010.

Arctic Surf Film

Tis' the season, for cold water frothing. Epic short on charging in the most extreme of conditions.

Battle of Grom

In the United States, all men and women are created equal. Fortunately, all Bro's are not.  Asher Bradshaw has been skating for less time than you've spent on the toilet, and you better believe he's better at dropping bombs than you.   Venice locals refer to him as ThrAsher, and rightly so.

Off the Grid

Dan Kass brethren are always looking for ways to help the environment out.  That why Fiish, Head Rip Engineer at the Dan Kass Co., clued me in on this bag.  Isn't it sweet when your financial interests and those of Mother Nature coincide?  Get off the grid! 

 Imagine, you and your mates are planning a surfari to Indo.  You throw your stick in a bag, toss some clothes in Wingnut style, and then grab your  Juice Bag.  Toss in your phone, camera, and whatever else and go-go gadget solar! Suddenly, your jungle tent becomes a wireless haven for all of your digital needs. Just pray for sun (and waves).

Baby gets his Bob Marley fix

Bob's Natural Mystic blows through the air in this video,  recruiting another Buffalo Soldier for Jah Army! Watch as the child loses capacity to feel any emotion but the irie vibes.  Jah!  So parents, if you  keep your child anesthetized with a nice reggae rid-dim, you may avoid a lifetime of costly A.D.H.D. prescriptions.
