… and taking out the award for most brands involved in the one collaboration project?
Wetsuit Rust
Novelty wetsuits are like so-hot-right-now. Matty Wilko has been rocking a new one at each WT event this year. Here are some ones that take it to a new level.
Slim Pickings :: Boardies
With summer pretty much on top of us, we thought you’d love to look like The Situation when you’re at the beach. Here’s how not to….
30 Cameras. 1 Moment.
Keen to see what footage of Mick Fanning doing a cutback looks like when freeze framed by 30 GoPro Hero2 HD cameras?
VSTR’s Message Board
You heard of VSTR yet? It’s something to do with Slater and Quiksilver, think it’s his own little personal brand or something, I dunno for sure. But… They just held their opening with their first VSTR space exhibition in Byron Bay last Friday (28th Oct)
Toyota & DC & Oakley
Two Toyota Trucks. The DC truck is way more low key, but the Oakley truck would probably stand out at the Mardi Gras, it’s that loaded up w/graphics and logos…
Summer Essentials
“Here is my hipster, faggot, pretentious, wanker, gay fucktard list. All of which descriptions are completely accurate. Goddamn I’m gonna get torched.” Sam McIntosh…
ISAORA :: Winter ’11
ISAORA make kick ass stuff. You should like it, and you shouldn’t get scared by the price tag – this stuff is quality.
Wilko’s France Wetsuit
Boobs. How good are boobs?! Wilko loves ’em, loves ’em so much he got his wetsuit plastered with them.
Patagonia :: Fall ’11
Patagonia, hard not to love what these guys are doing or at least respect it. This new collection is good.
80’s Surf Advertising
As Luke Taaffe put it: “Ads in Surf Magazines do not interest me these days. Maybe I’m trying to re-live my days as a grommet because I love the over-saturated colours, art & content of 80’s/90’s advertising.”
Imaginary Foundation
First we had blank tees, then we had stripey, anchory tees. This will be next, all over image sublimated tees.
SLVDR | Fall ’11
Easy on the colors, but bright enough to make you stand out a touch when standing around 12 other peacocks trying to lure the same bird in.
Velvet Skull Machina
Previously, Quik shades have been ok at best, but your opinion may change after viewing this new collection that is about to arrive. Titled Velvet Skull Machina, Quiksilver are bringing their best game to date to the shades world.
The Art Park
You heard of the Art Park? It’s a pretty neat little brand kicking up Byron way. Books, ‘zines, tees, resisdency programs, they’ve got a bit going on..
The Taj Collection ’11 | Billabong
The Taj Collection must be doing pretty well for Billabong, it’s back for a third installment. Due for release this week, the collection has some really nice looking pieces and most importantly – Side Boob. Not Taj’s, he got himself fit, the model tho, she is side boobing all over the place.
The Bledsoe Mid | etnies
Tyler Bledsoe just copped his first signature shoe with etnies, and it’s a real impressive debut. It’s a mid, which I’m digging. Mid’s are good.
Devine & etnies | Fall ‘11
Devine keeps his signature apparel collection with etnies kicking for another season. Here’s a quick peek at what he has coming out later this year –
Quiksilver Limited Collection
Not the most imaginative name but one that’s honest, the Quiksilver Limited Collection is indeed limited. And let’s be honest, it’s way better then some dick slapping name like Anchors in the Wind by Brand XXXX right?
Chosen | Nike
Summer’s hitting up north and Nike are about to launch their biggest campaign to date – Chosen – across surf (6.0), skate (SB) and snow (snowboarding) Seems somewhat weird to wrap the one campaign across three seperate brands, but hey, do what you want when you’re that big…
VZ Summer ’11 Preview
Here’s a little peek into what VZ have coming out later this year for summer (which will no doubt drop into stores in the middle of winter – go figure) At the moment we’ve only got tee’s and walkies/trunks to show you, more to come later closer to release date.
Rip Curl & Skullcandy | Bells
As part of the 50th Bell Beach Surf Rally (better known now as the Rip Curl Pro) Skullcandy pieced together a one off variant of their popular Aviator for the surfers in the event.
