Yesterday turned out to be a perfect day for the First Annual Elemental Longboard Jam.
Waist high ground swell and offshore wind all day. Air temp was about 85.
Tents were up and Motorhead was blasting by 9am.
Katie and Olivia, contest organizer and emcee, were holding it down.
The seasoned competetors.

Everyone had an awesome time, can't wait for next year!

Does anyone know where I can find a barrier?

"I'm not a dude!"

"In a news shocker for all those directly involved, Baltimore’s brash and hot-headed cop has been fired stemming from a now-famous incident with a 14-year old skateboarder which was caught on tape just over three years ago. The Baltimore Sun reports that the Baltimore Police Commissioner overruled a disciplinary panel’s recommendation today and released veteran officer Salvatore Rivieri from his duties immediately. He was within a year of retirement with full benefits. Apparently there’s truth to the saying, “Payback is a bitch.”" From Skatedaily

It was announced last week that Lakai had won this year's Skate and Create. Today we get to see why their submission was better than the others.

Where can they go next with the slo-mo destruction? Maybe they could have tanks shoot at them, or shred in an erupting volcano.

Ishod killed Maloof, this is Real's edit.

VS

There's been alot of controversy about the results of this year's Maloof Money Cup in OC. Many are claiming the judges favored Chris Cole, and young Nyjah got robbed. This video breaks down their runs and has commentary from one of the judges.

In memory of...

Gavin made an edit from some stuff he filmed at Greenside. This is not an actual "Nico edit" but rather an edit of Nico.

Nico's not actually dead, he's in Colorado.

OC

Farewell

Nico was supposed to make a "sick edit" while he was in town for the summer. Instead he had to go back to Colorado unexpectedly. Too bad we'll never see him or his edits ever again.

A few more from the other night...
Surfers on acid!
We got to hang out in the foundation room after the show. All the walls were covered in patches of fabric and there was all sorts of Indian sculptures everywhere. It was sort of like an opium den, and you could get lost in all the hallways going to different rooms. Pretty cool.
Katie and Paul Banks.
Miguel had a good first trip to Boston.
Daniel Kessler was shredding the whole show.

correction

To anyone who is concerned about sharks at 2nd beach, the photo I posted a few days back wasn't actually taken there. Sorry, this blog should not be trusted as a reliable source for local news.

This just in... Kelly Slater spotted surfing in Naragansett. Seriously.

Interpol

We went to "Boston City" to see these guys last night...






Miguel made friends with a rat.
sausage party.

The band was cool enough to hang outside after the show. They are always great when they come to town, I highly recommend checking them out.

Shreddy

Eddy's been in Cali for a little over a month, but he was stacking clips before he left. He's got some SF footy on the way, but in the meantime here's 3 minutes of East Coast shreddage.

SHARK WEEK!

It's not just Shark Week on television, but in the North East, too.

More great white sharks -- nearly five on Friday alone -- were spotted off Cape Cod, not far from the coast where the movie "Jaws" was filmed.

A five-mile stretch of beach near Chatham, Mass., was closed to swimmers indefinitely as a precaution Friday.

The announcement drew hundreds of spectators eager to catch a glimpse of the sharks -- which can grow as long as 20 feet and weigh more than a ton -- but officials were not worried about having to enforce the swimming ban, the Boston Herald reported.

"It's funny. When you say 'sharks,' you really don’t have problems with enforcement,” Chatham harbormaster Stuart Smith told the Herald.

"They were described as up to 16 feet long and about 100 feet from the shore." Photo above Chatham, July 31.
