Dogboarding Goes Viral
by: Jimbo

Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert of Daniels put together this interesting ode to animal loving skateboarders. A few fancy editing tricks, some green screen integration and use of old fashioned stuffed animals (and a rollerblader) make for an entertaining look at a world where the case for man's best friend got a whole lot stronger.

Japanese Surfer Rescues Wife From Tsunami
by: Jimbo

Japanese surfer Hideaki Akaiwa describes harrowing
tale.

Officials today announced that over 10,000 people have died in Japan from the earthquake and Tsunami with 17,000 still missing. However amidst the chaos there are rays of hope and survival. here's one that relates to the surfing community of which Japan is so authentically apart of.


Last week the LA Times reported that a Japanese surfer, 43 year-old Hideaki Akaiwa saved his wife and mother in the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami.


At the time of the disaster Akaiwa was at work a few miles from his coastal town. He then returned to find that his neighborhood was flooded with 10 feet of water. Withouth hesitation he donned his wetsuit and some scuba gear he found and saw over 200 yards through debris strewn waters to locate his home, where he had last seen his wife of 20 years that he met surfing.


"The water felt very cold, dark and scary," he told the LA Times. "I had to swim about 200 yards to her, which was quite difficult with all the floating wreckage."


The heroism didn't stop there. Four days later, with his mother unaccounted for, Akaiwa ventured back into the frigid waters to fund his mother trapped on the second floor of her home.


"She was very much panicked because she was trapped with all this water around," Akaiwa said. "I didn't know where she was. It was such a relief to find her."

Mr. Anthony comes up for air.

With all the snow falling this winter skiers and snowboarders are enjoying some of the best conditions in recent memory. The downside to all this deep snow are the hidden booby traps Mother Nature sets for the unwary.

Check out this video shot by Jon Malmerg at Crystal Mountain, WA.

AWESOME Hipster Trap
by: Jimbo

Hipster Trap - PBR, American Spirits, Holga camera
and faux frogskins.

We stumbled across this over at our friends at AWSM... good thing we didn't stumble into it. Their description pretty much nails it....

Is there a pesky hipster running rampant in your neighborhood? You have tried loud noises, throwing rocks & red meat, but nothing seems to work. Your only hope is to trap one with what it loves best: shitty beer and a Holga medium format camera...
