Quicksilver just released a free short film called Cypher vision.  The camera they used shoots 1000 frames per second.  It’s super high-def and the best parts are the slo-mo.  You can actually see the board flex from nose to tail when they land airs.  Take some magic mushrooms and trip out.

Times is rough and tough like leather. Let Surf Sufficient teach you how to make your own surf wax and organic sunblock. Now where’s a pine tree??

Reggae legend Eek A Mouse has taken apparently become schizophrenic or taken up MMA?  Well in this video he calls out Shaq Eek “calls him a pussy” and that he loves Kobe.  Mr. Mouse also claims “he smokes weed”, “has mouse power”, & to send this video to shaqs twitter.    

What was suppose to be a nighttime photo shoot at the Banzai Pipeline quickly turned into a North Shore sausage fest to celebrate Jamie O’Brien’s Volcom Pipeline Pro win. Tagged Red Bull After Dark, this event setup Stadium Warrior lights to illuminate the Pipe lineup. Thus, in theory, allowing Jamie O’Brien, Bruce Irons and Ian Walsh to shred the Banzai in the dark, and allow photogs to get “different” images. We have yet to see if Red Bull accomplished the mission– we’re still waiting to see the water shots from that night. But, what they did accomplish was throwing a rager on Monday night at the House of O’Brien. Contrast intern KK Adams rolled through with her brand-new Canon 7D and here are the happy snaps of the debauchery for JOB. See the rest of her photos HERE.

Old school.

Emptied? Or, roofied? You be the judge.

Gavin Gillette getting weird in the infamous jacuzzi.

You know she's a lady because her pinky is up when she shoots Crown.

"Look, there's a whale."

Of course it's not a North Shore party without a bunch of Brazilian trogs.

A Monkey-Reuben sandwich.

Bra Boy Mark Matthews and some mates get on the piss.

Rance, Maka V, Kaboe, Jim Browskee, Ito and some random dudes trying not to have a Taurine overload.

Kool Herc invented Hip-Hop. Exactly as it says right there. Dude INVENTED Hip-Hop! Look it up KOOL HERC!  You will be baffled trust me.  (at least i was)  As my friend Chris put it “when kanye, nas, or jay-z take a picture with Kool Herc”.   It’s not Kool Herc taking a picture with Kanye it’s Kanye taking a picture with Kool Herc”. Come down if you want to see THE all time living legend of Hip-Hop he will be rocking the fuck out of Next door this Wednesday and Friday.  That is February 3rd and 5th. The Next Door is located in downtown Honolulu 43 North Hotel street

Jamie O’Brien aka Mr. Pipeline won the 5-Star World Qualifying Series Volcom Pipeline Pro yesterday in 6-to-8-foot, glassy barrels. Click here for a full wrap-up of the event. JOB’s victory party/Red Bull After Dark was insane last night. Lancifer, KK Adams and I were there and images will be posted soon.

This sequence is of 17 year old John John Florence getting shacked at the Pipeline. With this 9.63 scoring bomb he advanced to the semi-finals of the Volcom Pipeline Pro along with Jamie O’brien.  Not bad, kid.

Couple sneak peaks coming from the Channel Islands board blog…both of them are Kelly Slater shapes/designs. First one inspired by u-class racing boats and the second with an asymmetrical tail (and fin placement?)…hahrang.
To me, it just looks ugly.
