Well Considered Designs From SLVDR
SLVDR is one of the most exciting brands I’ve seen recently. The product they’re bringing out has got a very clean and casual look, the fits look great and the imagery with the brand is awesome. The ‘about’ on their blog describes the products influence as coming from …
Nuff Nuff Studio Party Invite
Possibly the greatest invite I’ve ever received! This is for the launch of Nuff Nuff Studios in Collingwood which is run by our friend Chris Polack who puts together Rebel Yell magazine and is an amazing photographer, along with Clem Stamation and Andy Fergusson,. The night is happening at 8pm …
The Eddie 2009
There’s no other event like The Eddie. Steeped in history and the perfect amount of mysticism, it is arguably the most prestigious event in surfing. The minimum 20 foot swells needed to run the event means that it’s only been held eight times in the last 25 years …

Lindsay Phillips Flip Flops Fun
Another quick one from Tomo at LWA – this time he was taking photos of girls riding bikes in bikinis around Bondi handing out thongs. It was for Lindsay Phillips Flip Flops and it is another marketing triumph in my book. Check a few photos from the day below the cut. Bring on summer!

Ford Fiesta held the Melbourne launch for its new model last night, called the Connect, just round the corner from the office. The party was attended by a few known people such as Erin McNaught and the setting was pretty rad. I know what …
25 Years Of Mario And The NES
Wired put me onto this. This week, October 18th to be exact, is the 25th anniversary of the launch of the Nintendo Entertainment System, or NES. With it came Dunk Hunt, Excitebike and later that year, Super Mario Bros. Thus, following the collapse of Atari, came the renaissance of the …
The Beautiful And The Damned
Ann Summa is a photographer from LA. Summa covered the LA punk scene in the 70s and 80s. I stumbled upon this piece on her on BoingBoing.net and was fascinated. I haven’t seen any of this work before! She has just finished up an exhibition at the Track 16 Gallery …

WeSC Behind The Scenes Happenings
Okay, am I the only one completely confused by this concept for the new WeSC range? Sure, it looks rad and features some of our favorite people like Benny Fairfax, Ray Barbee, Darrel Mathes, Jussi Oksanen, Chris Pastras and more but I’m not sure what it’s all about. Here’s a few photos and a video – see if you …
Tigerlily’s New Season Party
The guys at Lifewithoutandy hit up the Tigerlily new range launch party last weekend… From looking at the photos I can only conclude that it was a horrible evening full of the ugliest people Australia has. Or it was the opposite, I’ll let you decide. The new range is exactly …
The Lab Get’s A Makeover!
We visited The Lab a while ago but it has just undergone a bit of a renovation for summer. From the photos above it is looking rad and I’d say I’ll be back out there soon to peep the new hottness. Good work to Dave and all the guys there! For more, hit their site here.
Neff Launches It’s New 2010 Site
Neff has launched their 2010 website and aside from the usual product and team info, this one has ‘Neff World’. It’s basically a sub-site setup as a video game with fun little things spread through it. My favorite definitely has to be the Snoop sound board – hours of office …
JT and Fallon: Lessons in Hip-Hop featuring the Roots
I got the heads up on this from our friend Toby over at The Vine and although it is super off topic, it is also one of the most awesome things I’ve seen. Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon giving lessons in hip-hop with backing from The Roots. Yup… Enjoy!

Talking Parties And Bullshit With LWA
If you ask, what does it mean to ‘live the dream’ there will be a million different answers but you can bet that more than a few would be saying that getting paid to party would be pretty awesome. These two guys have taken that to a whole new level …
Skullcandy ROC Nation Aviators
(Photos by Julius Kellar) We have mentioned these on the site before but a few weeks ago the good guys at Skullcandy let me get my hands on what was, at the time, one of only two pairs in the country to give them a test drive. Before I get to the review, the ROC Nation Aviator’s were developed with Jay Z and …
Steele Saunders, Comedian?
For those that don’t know, Steele Saunders has been neck deep in the skate community for decades and about five years ago he turned his anger (and his oddly extensive knowledge of pop culture) to comedy. He has got a show happening in the Melbourne Fringe Festival – it’s six shows only starting …
Toyota One Hit Wonder Underway
The Toyota One Hit Wonder event is in it’s final day at Thredbo. The video and photos so far have been mostly skiing so consider yourself warned when watching the below clips. However the story from day 2 sounds impressive with Robbie Walker (pictured above) ‘attempting a frontside 1260′. No …
Burton X Married To The Mob
This is one for the girls. New York based label Married To The Mob have just released their collaboration with Burton. Normally we don’t post ‘colabs’ and ‘limited edition’ stuff unless it’s actually exciting. So when one of the girls in our office who doesn’t even snowboard sends me this, …

Movie Review: Wall St. ‘Money Never Sleeps’
I got asked along to a preview of the new Oliver Stone film, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps on Wednesday which is awesome cause I am actually getting paid to watch a film. Which is different to my average day where I’m paid to write about surf, skate and snow… Jealous?
