Saturdays Spring 2012

Saturdays Spring 2012

Saturdays has been stepping up their apparel game bit by bit the last couple seasons with more and more original pieces for the 50’s/60’s California surf inspired urbanite. For this upcoming season they’ve sprung a complete line featuring trunks, button downs, coats, pants and tees in a muted palate of grey, red, khaki and navy. With new doors rumored to be opening up in the West Village and Tokyo, the boys on Crosby Street are continuing to grow.

Surf’s Up LA! – Andy Lyon

Meet Andy, a 3rd generation Malibu legend and present Malibu enforcer who you may recognize from the cult classic Runman surf videos. He was also a pro skater on the Pepsi team of the 70′s. Watch Andy give us kook viewers a tour down Malibu memory lane and listen to his rants on the Malibu preservation bullshit. Fucking awesome. He’s got my vote for Malibu city council!

Legless

Another great little short doc by Korduroy.tv about the lepers of the surfing world, not boogie boarders or body surfers, I am of course talking about knee boarders. These Aussie dudes may look like paraplegics on a wave, but some of them can seriously rip it! Good on ya mates.

Romain Laurent – L’Horizon

Romain Laurent – L’Horizon

As a surfer in the city, one often finds themselves feeling a bit like a fish out of water. The awkward smirks, glares and giggles while riding the subway. Or the loud questions from fellow city slickers on the street who scream, “Where you goin surfing – the river?”. They clearly don’t realize they are in fact living in a coastal city. Whether intentional or not, photographer Romain Laurent captures the essence of this self conscious feeling that so many of us urban surfers have felt perfectly in his latest collection of work entitled “L’Horizon”.

Bones Brigade Doc

Director Stacey Peralta (Dogtown and Z Boys, Riding Giants) returned to the Sundance Film Festival this year with a new documentary, Bones Brigade: An Autobiography. The documentary chronicles the rise of the Powell-Peralta skateboarding company and the legendary team including Tony Hawk, Lance Mountain, Steve Caballero and Rodney Mullen, which Stacey Peralta helped assemble in the early 1980’s to push skateboarding into the mainstream. The film will most likely be making it to theaters in the near future. Here’s a quick teaser and follow the link for an interview with Peralta.

Dion Agius Photography

Dion Agius Photography

Dion Agius isn’t just a radical progressive surfer or another cliche surfer/artist; he’s a legit photographer (despite being a pro surfer by trade). And when the guy’s got a better eye than a lot of the photogs that make their livings standing on the beach shooting him splashing around in the sea and still claims to be learning, you know he could very well make it a more professional activity and probably will one day. It’ll be exciting to see what he makes of it, when surfboarding is no longer his vocation.

Cousteau Collection

Cousteau Collection

Not the most well designed app out there, but it’s pretty cool to see part of the Cousteau Archive is now accessible on a rich mobile application for both the iPad and iPhone. Through three unique collections, re-discover the legendary adventures of Jacques-Yves Cousteau: his expeditions, his crew, his inventions, his dreams and aspirations. The app also features some of the best images and films uploaded by the users of the Cousteau Divers website, witnessing the state of our oceans today. Download it on iTunes here (red beanie not included):

Golden Gate Camper

Golden Gate Camper

This hippie mobile is crazy – not sure if she’s street legal, but it sure is awesome. Perfect idea for surfers looking for a little day trip action to a local break (it has a 10 mile range and goes up to 20 mph.). Fits a full quiver and a couple buds, not to mention there’s room inside for cooking with a sink and stove, a toilet, and a bed. Built by San Francisco artist Jay Nelson, the Golden Gate is made out of a couple electric bikes and an artfully crafted combination of plywood, epoxy resin and fiberglass. All of the controls are in the steering wheel. The driver sits cross legged while operating the vehicle.
