The Next Big Thing in Surf Footwear

"Brah, I hate shoes. Just let the boys free, you know? My toes gotta waggle. People always trying to say 'wear shoes' and all, but I just don't have time. I am about to get in the water anyway."

C.R. Stecyk Interview in ANPQuarterly

The godfather of Dogtown has a great interview by Brenden Fowler, Ed Templeton, & Aaron Rose in the latest issue of RVCA's ANPQuarterly. Its a nice, long chat with Stecyk- six double page spreads including a ton of photos. Did you know he built a fake Russian bomb & buried it on the beach when he was a kid? Pick up a copy of the mag for details. (The photos look a smidge better than my crappy iPhone ones, but hey, I am trying for you.)

The World's Oldest Profession

Gotta be honest with you. I have no idea what being a prostitute has to do with Vans. Maybe this is a documentary? I kid. Someone made this commercial on spec (No, Vans didn't make it before anyone asks.), but it is weirdly funny. And besides, that roller skating dude and the hooker both have great wardrobe.

Neckface Documentary: Coming Soon (Or Later)

/FILM swapped emails with director Ty Evans about his upcoming NECKFACE documentary. Evans has been working on the film since 2005, but he says the film isn't coming out anytime soon. So what do we have? A satan-ass-looking trailer.

Missing: One Bass Guitar Skateboard

Bryan Derballa & his buddies made a skateboard out of a bass guitar so they could epicly transition to Primus for a 1994 Halloween party. Although good times were had by all, sadly, the skateguitar was missing after the festivities. If you see someone with it in Brooklyn clothesline them & scream,"That's Bryan's! I saw it on that blog and that other blog...yo' thieven' ass...etc." Unless they are big. Then, don't do that.
