Mind Blowing !!!?

Mikey Moran, two heels way over. photo Nevins

Who got some of those epic little peelers yesterday!!! So much fun right??? Everyone I talked with was glowing with longboard stoke!!! How about the above pic taken by THE VAN of Mikey Moran hanging two HEELS over that nose. DAMN!!! The best longboarder in NH, definitely... The best in New England, I'd put money on it... The Best on the East Coast, maybe not, but he's in the top 10. It looks like Brian and Mikey had a great little session, ESPN Blogger Jon Coen, post a little something about Brian's ninja skills, our fun little waves and THE VAN. Check it out HERE.

With moves like this it boggles my mind that Brian opted for life behind

the lens rather than in front of it...

As for shop news, we continue to be bombarded with awesome stuff on a daily basis. The past two days have brought us tons of awesome O'neill summer rubber, Supra Shoes, Wave Skate body boards, and grip of new decks from Zoo York and Dwindle. Check out the photos below!

Some cool happenings this weekend! Beach clean up at the Wall sponsored by Surfrider NH this Saturday at 9 am. Meet at the bath house at the north end of the wall! Next it the Motorcycle, Hotrod, & Art Show at Eastern Boarder in Danvers. Steve is working on the mini at Hampton today and it should be done soon. Little waves coming for Friday and We'll be in the shop until 7pm all week! Stop by if you need anything. Hey Marc, Everybody at the Beach!!

Surf, Art, and Fresh Gear!!!

Mini San O is what someone called Jenness Beach this morning. I've never been there but unless it came from this person, who travels the globe in search of waves, it would have gone in one ear and out the other. But it didn't, Jenness was that good this morning, as good as San O on a small day! Super good little nose riding wave, perfect for the 10'0 log! The surf this evening should be awesome and the surf tomorrow should be just as fun. Get up early and go surf! It's light out at 5 am now so there's plenty of time to get some!

There is a button on the top of this page labeled Next Blog>>. I am willing to bet that most people don't even know it is there. Well I do and I click it often just to see what's around the next corner. Usually it's crap, yesterday I got sent to a blog about some older ladies camera shy fluffy rabbit! Ultra Crap! But today I got sent to a blog about an artist named Harosi. From there I went to his website and saw some amazing art. Harosi takes broken skateboards and glues them together and then sculpts epic things out of the heavy, colorful blocks of wood. This is by far the coolest art I have ever seen that has been made with recycled skateboard decks. Check the photos and Harosi's website were there are more examples of his work. And don't be scared, click the Next Blog>> button and see where it takes you...

So besides getting awesome waves today, we also got tons of awesome gear. A ton of new Vans bringing are total Vans shoe count to 33 different styles... Who's got a better selection of Vans than that??? No One!!! Get down here and freshin' up your style!

Lots of Chukkas, Lots of Colors

All New Era Pro

New Rowley 99s, 3 different color ways!

Fresh Box of Nixon Gear which included the raddest backpacks, tees, long sleeve tees, and tank tops! It's time, summer is here, Suns Out, Guns Out!

These two are for the Ladies and you need to show Duke some love!

Like I said the raddest stuff around, Right? Now off the net and go get WET!!!

Everybody at the Beach!!!!

HDMI

That's right! HDMI baby. Welcome to the future!!!! I dropped $60 on an HDMI cable yesterday. Steve and I have become webcast junkies over the past year. If it's live and on the net chances are we're glued to it. At points our addiction to the computer screen has almost made us appear anti social, and if you wanted our help during an ASP final well lets just say you probably weren't getting the undivided attention you're used to at Pioneers. Neither of those two things will change but now we'll be broadcasting all the live feeds on the flat screen so you can be addicted and anti social with us! Today is the first day of our live webcasting action as we break the set up in with the Maloof Money Cup held in NYC today starting at 1pm today and tomorrow at 11am. If you can't make it to the shop and you want to be anti social at home click HERE for the live feed. This contest has quickly become the biggest and most legit street contest in skating's history. Buck's down there representing Oakley, don't be surpised if he has a couple drinks and some how ends up on the mic! I wouldn't expect anything less from the guy.

We got a handful of boards in from Global yesterday. Really fun looking 7'6 and 8'0 Walden Mini Magic boards in 3 phase epoxy! The 7'6 looks like a blast! Wide nose with a tight little tale and beveled rails! Enough volume up front to move up and trim through section but the performance tail allows you to step back and make some tight arcing turns. Check out the following little video of Steve Walden talkin' shop about the Mini Magic.

Steve just rolled into the shop, hair wet and a grin from ear to ear. Turns out there are some thigh high peaks out there this morning. I of course blew it, but Steve's claiming it's fun. Looks like there is the possibility for some fun little wave through the week and possible something a little larger towards the end of the week. If you can't wait and need some day dreaming material click here to see what's out there... warning: you may hate yourself for looking at this... but if you're gonna do it anyways you might as well read up on this when you get there you can surf like him.

Team rider Manny Santiago made the Thrasher Hall of Meat this week... It hurts to watch this...

Enjoy the day!!! Go for a skate, go for a surf, come hang out with us and watch the Maloof Money Cup LIVE on the flat screen. We'll be here!!!

xxxxxVOLCOMxxxxxx

Simply put, If you're not wearing Volcom, your BLOWING IT! Everything they do, they do right. Over the past few weeks we have received so much RAD Volcom gear that I m just gonna ramble about all the epic stuff we have for Men, Women, and the kids! Lots of pictures so sit back relax and enjoy the Volcom fashion show!

First up pants. They make a pair of jeans for everyone. Whether you wear them skin tight or baggy as hell Volcom makes them and we have them. The denim they use is of the highest quality and there are more colors and styles than I can mention here. The Volcom Roadhouse in stretch denim is my absolute favorite jean of all times! Sick selection of cords and chinos for men and women of all ages! I am willing to bet that we have the best selection on denim on the Seacoast.

Ladies Skinny

Chinos in Heather Grey

Kinkade

Black Zip

2 x 4

Tees, Shirts, Sweatshirts, Flannels, Jackets, Button Downs, Polos. You want it, they make it, we have it. Because we are an exclusive Stone Age account we get all the coolest and limited gear that your not gonna find anywhere else. Check out some of the over dye tees and crew neck sweatshirts. Don't forget we rep a sick selection of button down shirts for when you have to be presentable or professional with out losing your sense of style. Our ladies tees are epic with style for days!

Hyde and Seek

If you wanna look extremely dapper than look no further than the Stone Suit. Match it up with a Volcom vest and tie and like KISS said you're "Dressed to Kill".

Volcom also kills it when it comes to surf Wear. Epic four way stretch boardshorts, stunning bikinis, and rash guards that will protect your sensative skin from both the Sun and your board.

Bros, our Volcom surf gear will make you look like you belong on the North Shore hanging with the locs and ladies you'll be getting asked to pose in the next Surfer Swimsuit issue!

4 way strectch Optimizer Mod

4 way stretch Annihilator

Ladies Swim Wear

And to round off my blog of all things Volcom lets talk accessories and randoms. Belts, Hats, Socks, Wallets, Key Chains, Beach Chairs, Umbrellas, Beach Towels, Bocce Ball Sets, Horse Shoe Sets, Paddle Ball, and Ping Pong Paddles.

Hand Puppets or Socks, your choice...

Beach Towels

It's not worth going to the beach without this kit on a flat day...

The only thing that can make you look any better would be a fresh pair of Vans, which we just got tons of, and some dope new Oakleys, which we're always stoked with!

From the feet up.... New Vans Versa in Grey, Volcom Appleyard stretch denim, Volcom Over Dye Stone Age tee, Oakley Holbrook in Polished Black w/ Gold Iridium lense, Volcom Tye Dye Snap Back. Swimming in a sea of Lost...

It's Going Down!!!

Skate-lite that is!!! Steve and Paul are at the Hampton skateboard park right now laying down a fresh layer of skate lite. It's been a long time coming but the town has finally delivered us a dozen sheets of fresh skate-lite and we are giving the time to put it down. It's a crazy process of align, measure, mark, pre drill, counter sink, and screw. Doesn't sound like much but when you're staring at 12 sheets it can seem like a daunting process. I don't think they'll get it all done today but soon... The brothers O'hara are keeping skateboarding alive in NH.

We've got some really good used boards in the shop right now! If anyone is looking to score new board and save a bunch here is a short list of what I have!

6'4 Channel Island Fishcuit $450

6'2 Lost Round Nose Fish Quad in XTR $500

6'0 Lost Round Nose Fish $400

6'2 KG Twinzer $200

Everything is available at the shop to check out, all boards come with fins. Call us with questions or stop by!

Totally random skate trip madness from Thrasher in Japan, but thoroughly entertaining.

Cool little interview on Surfer with Irish big wave charger Fergal Smith. Check it HERE and enjoy this little video of Fergal surfing on the other side of our pond.

While strolling along this morning I stumbled upon the these tracks. They come from an invasive species and the first person to correctly identify them by posting a picture on our facebook page wins a Sector 9 trucker hat! Have at it!!!

Enjoy the day!!!

SKATE CAT!!!!

The Skate Cat at the New Combi Bowl by Eric Santos. Eric is a skating cat who always lands on his board. We love the art work and would be stoked to post more of it if anyone has some they would like to share.

Six weeks later and the LEAK continues... More than likely the leak will flow until August, they're already calling it the 'worst US environmental disaster' ever. I wonder what it will be called in 2 months? It is going to be pretty interesting to see what happens when the first big hurricane of the year rips through the gulf... I am also wondering how long BP will be able to keep the oil from making its way into the gulf stream current? At the very least this is another reason to stop focusing on new ways to get oil out of the ground and to start investing in wind farms, solar farms, and other ways of producing clean energy. I read an article about a few scientists who are attempting to recreate photosynthesis in a way of using carbon dioxide and the Sun's energy to produce an ethanol. How amazing would that be? The possibilities are endless but with big oil companies and the government holding hands it's gonna take us a long time to get there...

Castles In The Sky, the sequel to Sipping Jetstreams, isn't just a film, a book or an article in a magazine...it's a movement.


You a see a photo in a book. You scour the coastline on a map. You hear stories from other travelers. And now you just have to find out for yourself. It begins with a dream. A vision seeded in your mind. But the next step is the one that counts. The first step. Onto the plane. Into the sky. From that moment on, the journey takes on a life of its own. You step off the plane and into the jetstream of travel.

A few years back, Taylor Steele and Dustin Humphrey explored this concept in their film/book collaboration Sipping Jetstreams, discovering how new veins of travel enhance the experience of riding waves. For Castles In The Sky, Taylor Steele pioneered new coastlines on every corner of the globe, dived into the cultural stew of global exploration and brought it all to life through a visual whirlwind of inspiration.

Dane Reynolds in Iceland. Rob Machado in Peru. Dave Rastovich in India. Jordy Smith in Africa. These are just a few of the adventures forming Castles In The Sky. The adventures are now here, in New York for a World Premiere on May 4th at the Tribeca Cinemas. Come and take your own first steps into the unknown. Video premiers this week in NYC and will be in the shop on DVD soon, I'll keep you posted.

You know I love good blogs, and I just found this one that is pretty close to home. Check out Maine Skateboarding for a good time. Just posted is an interview with Maine local and one of my favorite skaters, Dan Drehobl. It's all things Maine and Skate. Check it out!
