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.

60 years has led to this

some of the techiest, most comfortable boardshorts on the planet: Hyperfreaks, the XT2, Jordyfreaks, and the Superfreaks. we've got the full line of O'Neill's boardshorts in the shop just in time for the ocean to start warming up. and they make some pretty solid wetsuits to complement those boardshorts too...

John John doing some technical boardshort research.

baby Sheckler

 back when Ryan Sheckler was just a wee young guy he would throw himself off ledges like it was his job. see the evidence of his section here from Almost Round 3.

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.

we got you covered on shades and watches

 

This offseason we did a major remodel of our newly added Shack South Sunglasses and Watches. Hardwood flooring, some new paint, and some freshy display cases from Ray Ban, Von Zipper, and soon to be Costa Del Mar. 

 

The Ray Ban case is fully stocked with all of this year's limited editions and basics, too. 

 

We've also got a full stock of Skullcandy and Aerial7 headphones, as well as new brand Monster Beats by Dre. 

And of course we've still got all the latest and greatest G-Shock watches too. Stop in and gear yourself up for summer.

April was bueno

April was a good month. As evidenced by the above marquee shot of Conor Willem on Eastern Surf Mag's website. 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.

We told you it was coming, well now it's here: the Globe Bantam Cruisers. What's the Bantam you ask? Well it's only the hottest plastic cruiser to release, EVER. They're so hot that TransWorld SURF even did a model casting call for a Bantam Babe. As you can see below, we've got a full color run, including the Globe In The Dark (which in fact does GLOW IN THE DARK). The Bantams come stock with these dims:

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.
