Tarp Surfing Looks Awesome
To start the weekly wrap, we have Tarp Surfing. An amazing invention (or one that looks amazing anyway). The video clip is pretty funny -
"I cancelled my trip to Maui cause the tarp conditions were too good!" Peep it:
Absinthe’s ‘NowHere’ Trailer

Billabong’s Taj Burrow Signature Collection
Billabong has released a signature collection for Taj Burrow that has some pretty awesome looking pieces in it… According to the release, Taj said, “
When we were approving the pieces, I would think: Could I put this on at 6:30 am and still be happy wearing it at midnight? … If the answer was yes, they’re all in here.” There’s a few images in the gallery above of different styles from the range, the gear looks the goods.
Kr3w’s 2010 Fall Lookbook
Kr3w released a lookbook for their fall 2010 range and the gear is looking amazing. Particular favourites are the Manchester Jacket in Grey Tweed and the Wilcox varsity jacket. And a spacial shoutout here for Pop’s friend Cody who’s modelling the gear. By the way, if you haven’t peeped it yet, check out the new, revamped, Kr3w website over

Andrew Brophy’s Cliché Commercial
Australian skater Andrew Brophy has got a rad commercial out for Cliché Skateboards. There are guys who claim he has “the best back tail in the biz.” Check it out!
Winter Dew Tour Pipe Gains 4 Feet
The Winter Dew Tour have announced that they’ll be jumping the size of the pipe for this winters contests from 18 feet to 22 feet. Pro snowboarder Danny Davis said, “
I’m stoked that the Winter Dew Tour will have 22-foot pipes this season … The level of riding and amplitude that we can get on the larger pipe makes all of the difference. Fans can expect to see some awesome competitions all season long.” Transworld raises the issue that many resorts don’t have the ability to build 22 foot pipes however I’m sure this is something they’ve worked out before making the announcement.
