Chromatic

Let's Party!

Let's Party! traction has finally dropped a full-blown website. We've been sold out of the awesome pads for a few days now, but not to worry, as we're receiving another batch any day this week (along with a whole bunch of Exile Skimboards). so get on the program and Let's Party!

we don't mess around

just arrived in store today: Landyachtz, Comet skateboards (they come stock with Orangatang wheels), Abec11 wheels, Cadillac wheels, and Earthwing wheels. if you're serious about longboarding and downhill you best be stopping in Surf Shack South. and don't forget we've got boards from Sector 9, Santa Cruz, Globe, Faceplant, Penny, and more as well...

clip of the week: Taj ain't no fool

Taj knows that Firewires haven't been handmade for years—which is exactly what the inventor Bert Berger was saying before he was ousted by the board of directors who chose mass production over a quality product. But when you do that with a product that necessitates hand selection of the balsa wood for the parabolic rails, well you end up with an inferior surfboard. Which is why Taj jumped ship this year and is on ...Losts/Mayhems. Hopefully that equates to getting Taj that elusive World Title, because when it's all said and done, he will surely be a surfer who should've racked up at least 5 by now. Don't think so, just watch any clip of him, like the one above...

Kyle 'speed blur' McCormick

kid skates so fast and hard he's just a big blur...
