Quiksilver x The Standard Boardshorts
(30 July 2009) - A counterpoint to the Dogtown generation of surfers and skateboarders in '70s L.A., Echo Beach surfers in the 1980s sported a loud, colorful style that inspired lifestyle apparel and board companies like Quiksilver, who—in homage to those decadent years—is reissuing a retro-looking set of swimwear in partnership with the Standard hotel. The limited-edition line debuts for sale today through the Standard's website, with high-tech...

Surf Montréal
(28 July 2009) - A city usually associated with frosty beer and weather, Montréal shows off their summer side with a surf spot on the St. Lawrence River. Hidden behind the prestigious Habitat 67—a Moshe Safdie apartment building infamous for its Expo 67 debut and infinite occupancy waiting list—the location may sound tame. One look at the wetsuit-clad surfers navigating the surf proves that the river's current can...

By using an embossed, diamond-patterned material, the Diamond Dobby technology decreases fabric to skin contact by 30 percent which eliminates chafing and rashes.

ID Prints
(23 June 2009) - ID Prints extreme-sports action images are cause for any radical aesthete to rejoice. Their purchasable posters are "staccato-quality offset prints," or in other terms, they are crisp and clean. Produced using only first-rate materials and processes these posters offer both action and integrity that is hard to match. As action sports have grown so has the demand for posters of these leading athletes. Taking...

Grain Surfboards
(02 June 2009) - While sheer beauty of the sloping wooden forms is enough to sell us on Grain Surfboards, their non-traditional approach—skipping the foam makeup of other boards in favor of a Northern White Cedar and air composite—makes a pretty good case for them too. The upshot is a gorgeous and sustainable product, made by a couple of East Coast surfers. After years spent riding the waves...

Airstream x MINI Cooper S Clubman x Republic of Fritz Hansen
(22 April 2009) - For someone like myself who grew up traveling in converted buses, this new Republic of Fritz Hansen-designed Airstream and coordinating modified MINI Cooper S Clubman doesn't look exactly practical, but it does look dreamy. At 6.8 meters long (about 22 feet), the Airstream trailer makes for a relatively compact way to make a road-trip luxurious—for fans of both sea and sun. Incorporating neoprene, acid...

Chris Lundy: Notes From the Field
(19 February 2009) - The work of Chris Lundy closely mirrors the artist's daily life. The Hawaii-based surfer takes the kinetic energy and fluid nature of his preferred pastime and parlays them into large-scale paintings. The resulting waterscapes bear only fleeting resemblance to reality, instead imbuing a fantastic mysticism to each drop. "Notes From the Field," Lundy's current exhibition at the James Gray Gallery in Santa Monica, highlights...

Alexandra Cassaniti's Summer Bummer Collection
(12 November 2008) - Winter might be coming but we found a whole new way to channel a west coast vibe with Alexandra Cassaniti's "Summer Bummer" collection. Alexandra's philosophy? It's always summer somewhere. We love the feel-good concept as much as we like the nonchalant weirdness of her neoprene beret and "hairy surfboard," shaped by world class surfer Craig Hollingsworth. Already known among followers of fashion for her...

Insight Clothing: Dopamine Campaign
(24 July 2008) - The Dopamine campaign is the latest from Australian clothing company, Insight, divided into two inspired and highly original photo/film projects: the Surf and the Skate. Redefining "the life aquatic," the Surf Campaign mixes elements of surrealism, 1950s counterculture and a nuclear/grunge aesthetic. Each of Dustin Humphrey's deftly-composed photographs are bisected into different worlds. In one a surfer floats by in the top half while...

Reserva Pop-Up Shop at São Paulo Eastpak
(06 June 2008) - The beach is at least an hour and a half away, but Rio de Janeiro men's brand, Reserva, is bringing the easy-breezy life of being close to the ocean to São Paulo with their pop-up store in the back of the Eastpak store. The clothing mix is surfwear-inspired with a bit of Ivy League thrown in, much akin to Hollister. The designers picked up...

Linden Agave Singlefin Surfboard
(28 May 2008) - Surfing, more than many other sports, is both more closely connected to and heavily dependent on the health of the planet, yet the industry's been slow to get away from the use of toxic and harmful materials in boards. This is mostly due to the fact that untraditional materials just don't perform as well. A great eco-friendly alternative without compromising board performance is Gary...

Nat Russell T-Shirts
(07 November 2007) - Oakland-based artist Nat Russell's t-shirts for Mollusk Surf Shop showcase his increasingly recognizable style. My favorites include "Sea Kat" featuring his signature pipe-smoking lion motif, the "Kyle" shirt which has a wavy-bearded man that bears an unintentional resemblance to musician Kyle Field of Little Wings and "Totally Stoked" one of three new designs for women available in two colors. All shirts are printed on...

Light Wave Surfboard
(23 April 2007) - Surfers who like to be on the waves before dawn or after dusk now have a solution to improve safety and visibility. The Light Wave surfboard by Santa Cruz Light Wells has battery operated lights—a white light on the right or left side of the board (depending on which way you ride) provides visibility to other surfers. A headlight is activated when the nose...

Planet Earth Green Label
(05 February 2007) - The Surfrider Foundation, SurfAid and less toxic surfboard building techniques have made the surf community one of the pioneers in protecting the planet and the oceans. However, as a business, the backbone of the surf industry is apparel. With cotton accounting for an estimated 25% of all insecticide use, Planet Earth decided to take a step in the right direction and launched the Green...

Andoland
(04 May 2006) - With summer around the corner, the timing’s perfect for renowned surf artist Andy Davis's recently-opened boutique-slash-gallery called Andoland in Costa Mesa, CA. Andy conceives of the project as “Ando and Friends,” a “visual vineyard where friends share with friends our pot luck of products from t-shirts to tote bags or whatever is tickling our fancy at any given moment.” The debut lines “Andoland,” which...

Eugene Tan
(21 March 2006) - Not just content with just putting out a daily email newsletter, Aquabumps, featuring his photos of the early morning Bondi surf and those intrepid folk in it, Sydney-based photographer Eugene Tan this week opens up a gallery in North Bondi dedicated exclusively to showcasing his work.

Faster, Lighter, and Stronger: The New Tricked-Out Surfboards
(23 February 2006) - On 5 December 2005, a day now known as “Black Monday” in the surfboard industry, the major manufacturer of the foam “blanks” that form the board's core, Clark Foam, shut its doors, ending an almost 44 year monopoly on the market. No one knows exactly why owner Grubby Clark ceased production (he cites increasing regulations and pressure from the EPA, who denied the claims),...

Freeline Skates
(14 November 2005) - Skateboarding x snowboarding x surfing = Freelining, a new sport invented by Ryan Farrelly that looks totally whack. Freeline skates each have two wheels which are attached to a small aluminum frame with a flat top that has grip tape on top. There are no straps—you ride it like a small skateboard under each foot. Check out these videos, which show you how to...

Jason Murray
(28 September 2004) - Jason Murray's photography is getting me stoked for winter. Raised on saltwater, skinned knees and a healthy appetite for exploration, he's been both witness and active participant in the evolution of the boarding universe. He covers a lot more surfing than snowboarding, but that's inspirational as well. Also be sure to check out Concussion, the SK8 mag Jason collaborates on. ...
