With Kelly Slater looking in epic form in the QUIK Pro in France today, i think i should drop this-
Quiksilver have created a film that follows Slaters 2 year campaign that leads up to him tearing apart the competition on route to his 9th world title; respect the ability/commitment/dedication & self belief...

Quiksilver X The Standard Hotel
The guys over @ QUIK have taken an idea or 2 from the Japanese vending culture it seems. Teaming up with The Standard Hotel, they have placed machines poolside at 4 hotels, selling their new boardshorts. The shorts feature the new Diamond Dobby material and come with a waterproof bag. Everything you need!

every now & then an ad campaign will make you stop and take a good look, where as you would normally roll on by. NIXON nailed their last one, each image throwing up some random liquid textures into your face. They've captured movement and energy with this campaign and created amazing images with sexy looking contrasting. The examples below speak for themselves...

RVCA Europe have been in touch to let us know about their Facebook page.
I've checked it out and must say it's definitely worth a look. Full of inspiring content from fashion show video clips to artist interviews. A good example of a brand connecting with its audience and creating a strong community.
Here's a personal favourite:

The present
Awesome film from Thomas Campbell, using great cinematography mixed with some funny sketches makes for an enjoyable experience. All your classic surfers and locations plus more. Look out for the Joel Tudor interview where he gives an insight into his inspiration for surfing.

The Drifter
when it comes to style, not many people better Waterman of the Year 2009 ; Rob Machado. Most of his career has been spent living & chasing the dream, letting his surfing do the talking.
Dropping in the next few weeks is his highly anticipated autobiographical film, THE DRIFTER. Directed by legendary film maker Taylor Steele, this film will follow Machados journey to some amazing places where he scores some epic waves. A great deal of the films dialogue comes straight from his own personal journals, giving us an insight into the mind of a man who embodies the true spirit of surfing. See the trailer HERE

Ozzie Wright
As a first post to the blog i felt featuring the artwork of surfer/artist Ozzie Wright would be a good way to set the tone of things come.
He's certainly a person that packs a creative punch, whether he's surfing, painting or making music everything he does is full of energy and colour. Here's what the clothing label Volcom have to say about their veteran member:

He's certainly a person that packs a creative punch, whether he's surfing, painting or making music everything he does is full of energy and colour. Here's what the clothing label Volcom have to say about their veteran member:
"Ozzie", "Oska", "Oz", Oscar Billy Pippen Wright is not your a-typical professional surfer, oh no, he is so much more then that. Artist, musician, film-maker; a winged manimal on a mission. Hailing from the Land Down Under, Sydney Australia to be exact, he has been riding for Volcom for ten years now. In that time he has also grown into an art juggernaut turning out beautifully spastic and distinctively raw pieces. Some of you may also know him simply as "Fang Fight Right the Wizard of Death" lead crooner of the wildly popular super-teen group "The Goons of Doom". With his band mates, Cut-Throat Cowboy, Vaughan Dead and Killer Whale having conquered the land behind the Orange Curtain they have since played Tokyo, Hollywood and are hoping to go to New York this year. He is also the man behind the pen behind the zine that is "Dope Comics". Ozzie is a bat-winged gypsy, a drifting son of a bat, a high flying rodent of many talents spreading his messy sort of sound and color to the world around him and we thank him for that!
