parked and pizzad with Ronnie Kessner

Ronnie Kessner just got back from Jetty's Parks & Pizza tour after surviving an earthquake and a hurricane in the van seen below. He also came back with a boatload of A+ footage (coming soon to the site) and a new sponsor: Jetty! We caught up with Ronnie a bit. And a second congrats to Ronnie for making the cut for the finals in Volcom's Wild In the Parks in Austin, TX October 15th—kid's been straight killing it! Stay tuned for more on our top skate rider.

Where all did you go on the Jetty tour?
When i joined the trip we went to Philly, Baltimore, and NYC.

Where was your favorite spot to skate?
My favorite spot was the wire spot in Baltimore. I got a ton of footage.

Who landed the biggest trick and what was it?
Fritz mead killed a 10 rail and banged out 5 tricks in about 10 minutes.

Funniest thing that happened on the tour?
Listening to Mike C and Fritz talk. They had me laughing so hard that I cried probably 3 times a day. They were the funniest people I think I have ever met. It was super fun and I'm super stoked to be a part of the Jetty family!

got that Neff in

new Neff snapbacks and t-shirts have arrived. we've also got in the Neff watches and sunglasses, fully stocked case seen below (which is at Shack South Sunglasses and Watches). come grab yourself some of the fresh Neff while it's still in stock (it'll go quick).

custom Skim Series shirts

Tyler at Free2Ride made these up for the last Surf Shack South Skim Series event in two weeks. Some tight divisions that will be all decided for the season titles...

back, back, back from Woodward

budding young filmer Bruce Brower (no relation to the Brower of the original variety) went to Woodward last week with Shack South rider Ronnie Kessner and came back with the above edit, as well as the Vitamin Water Concrete Award for the week. big ups to Bruce, and Ronnie who is in a majority of the edit.

congrats Kyle Calandra

Longtime Shack rider and Exile am rider Kyle Calandra went down to this year's Zap Amateur World Championships and came back with a 4th place in the highly competitive Junior Men's division. Word on the street is Kyle nailed a big 3-shuv off the bat in the final and killed the rest of the heat, but came up a bit short we guess? Either way, good job Kyle. And you can see a ton of Kyle in fellow Shack rider Conor Willem's forthcoming skim movie Stoked Or Die.

Jetty Coquina raises the bar

 

Yesterday on 110th Street in Long Beach Township the 3rd annual Jetty Coquina Jam went down, and was taken by the team of Sarah Dodds and Selena Moberly in some surprisingly decent surf. And over $7,100 was raised for David’s Dream & Believe Cancer Foundation, which is the big win of the day. Thanks to Jetty for putting on another incredible event, and all for charity, and congrats to Sarah and Selena. Check out a full wrap up of the event from Jon Coen here. 

Aviators are in

Kolohe Andino - Skullcandy Aviator Headphones from Skullcandy TV on Vimeo.

We just got in our first run of Skullcandy RocNation Aviator headphones and they are looking crisp in all three colorways below (plus a white Ting-Tings art collab model). Some of the most comfortable and best sounding headphones on the market today. We've also got a sound test station with the Aviator so you can try before you buy 'em. Stop on in and test 'em out.
