Clip Of The Week: Schuster Skate Villa



Philipp Schuster may be speaking Austrian in this clip, but it really doesn't matter. He's got the coolest house in the world, and also the coolest skatepark in all of Salzburg. It's an old hunting lodge located in the mountains over Salzburg and we just wanna go for a skate and maybe move in right this second.

2012's first batch of Exiles

This year's first batch of Exile skimboards arrived in the store yesterday. This is one of those shipments we wait all winter and spring for because the Exiles are always top notch and truly unmatched. You can see above that this first batch includes 3 Recruits (the orange one with a bump swallow tail), a double carbon with that classic crownball logo, the new Paulo Prietto, and the new Brad Domke 'Aquanaut'.

Stay tuned for plenty more to come with Exile and Surf Shack South this summer, as they'll once again be headlining our Skim Series and will be involved with our skim camps as well, being under the direction of their team rider Kyle Calandra. Until more info gets released on those events, enjoy the Domke Vision clip below—he's doing some insane stuff in the water.

They posted one of his most recent clips, seen right below, and it's credit waaayyyy overdue. Now the entire world will know what we've been saying about Conor since he was just a tiny Willem: that he freakin' rips! Good on ya C-Will.

DECK: 7″x24″ Heavy-duty molded plastic with S-TRAC grip pattern

a quick chat with that Damn Am

Ronnie Kessner has been jet-setting around the country this spring. Tampa, Phoenix, Atlanta; all part of the Damn Am skate series in which Ronnie skates against the other top amateur skaters in the country. Pretty legit stuff! And he's been finishing better and better with each event (57th in Tampa and 51st in A-T-L). After the long (and warm) winter we finally caught up with our boy to see how things are as he preps for the Philly Am this weekend.
