Brad Domke, The Aquanaut

Apparently Exile team rider Brad Domke is coming out with his own film, The Aquanaut, filmed down in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. It's done entirely in Super8 film, giving it that old-school look. The trailer can be seen here at indee.tv/films/view/the-aquanaut/.

Nyjah Huston is unstoppable



kid cuts his dreads off and he's still unbeatable in Street League, going three for three after winning this past weekend's event in Arizona. Only one Street League contest remains, the Championship, taking place at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. Is there any doubt that Nyjah will also be taking that?

congrats to Carissa Moore

stay in the Surf Shack house

With Donny having moved out years ago and Denny down in Florida jumping out of helicopters for the Coast Guard, the Surf Shack house is now empty. Which means you could rent it out for a week (or more) for the summer! Definitely one of the most unique places to stay on the Island. Check out the listing here.

does Conor still skim?

That's a question we get asked a lot about Shack team rider Conor Willem. It's no secret that he's been killing it on a surfboard for years, and always has on a skimboard. He never stopped skimming, he just continues getting better and better at surfing that his surfing almost outshines his abilities on a skimboard these days. He's starring in a surf movie that hits this week, You Look Swell, and is also putting out his own skim vid soon. Here's the final teaser for it, Stoked Or Die:

Liberated

Kelsey, Ken, and Kevin of Liberation came down from Freehold last night amidst the holiday traffic to throw down the final premiere for "Liberate Yourself". The movie was definitely legit and a proud testament to Jersey skating and how much Kelsey puts into Liberation. A great kickoff to the 4th of July weekend. Thanks to everyone coming out, Kelsey for wrapping up the "Liberate Yourself" tour here, and for the Red Bull girls for stopping on by.
