Meeting Chris Carnel at 16 introduced me into a world of snow filled landscapes, professional snowboarding, desert lunar landings, skateparks, coffee shops, insane photography, reno and obscure punk and metal bands. Thanks, Chris. Your influence has been immense. Click here for an awesome read with Chris.

Creature won this year’s Tranworld Skate & Create contest with the following video below. Knew this was a winner when I saw it premiere here at NHS a month or so back.
The Steve Olson narration pretty much wins ya over instantly.
David Gravette displays stellar skateboard skills in front of drunk bar crowds.
Emmanuel Guzman threw down inside the bar.
The video that changed everything. Creature’s winning skate & create. Watch this and eat your heart out.
4 new creature offerings. Happy Valentine’s Day.
It’s been pretty grim and low tide out there everywhere (minus the northwest) this season. Curtis Woodman has been making it happen this season. This video will a test to that. Good on ya, Curtis. Snowboarding to Operation Ivy will get you mightily stoked too. Curtis shot this video in Chile, Montana and Washington state. Ride the white wave. Ride the white wave like Curtis.
Last week at Squaw. Still low tide. Pray, pray, pray.
Some classic Christian Hosoi reissues coming out of the Santa Cruz factory. Limited to 450 each. 3 colorways.
These boards came out really great. Two more Hosoi issues planned with Santa Cruz. Get these before they are history.

Ozzy Wright moved to Narrabeen. Mark Gnech lived across the street and was shaping rad boards out of his garage. Soon Mark began making boards for Ozzy. Ozzy was instantly a fan. They decided to launch Vampirate Surfboards together thru Santa Cruz. These boards are made out of Santa Cruz’s PowerLyte Technology. They are indestructible and will probably out live you. Take these things out for a beating.
The Gravedigger: These little boards are amazing. I ride mine as a 5’2, it’s the shortest board I’ve ever owned, but with all that meat, it still paddles insane. I love how low you can get riding these things. You can do these big grabrail cutbacks and your crunched up in a ball just flying, then you can hang five in the tube. Can definitely make a tiny wave way more enjoyable, but the challenge of riding these in some overhead stuff is insane. They plane around the longest sections and it just feels like you’re a cannonball flying down the face, very, very fun – Ozzy Wright
Available in the 5’2″ Gravedigger (shown ab0ve), 5’8″ Werewolf and the 5’11″ Batmoboard.
Woke up in Fresno County the other day. We were there to snowboard. Snowboard in Fresno County? Yup. China Peak Ski Resort is the spot to be exact.
Top of Chair 1.
We were there with next year’s 2012/2013 Santa Cruz Snowboards. Looking sick. Simpsons Snowboards, too.
Everybody gets hucky in the rail jam with a little help from their friends.
Style for miles. Definitely best jacket of the day. Best Ricky Henderson stance.
This dude was stylee.
Young ripper. Get out and shred friends. Shred some new places this season. Watch out for bears and security. Point it and go big. Leave the details to the pencil pushers. Over and out from Fresno County.
Santa Cruz Snowboards 2012/2013 line-up. Going to be a doozy. Bart pro model with Springfield style Santa Cruz font? Check. Homer board? Yes, please. Salba graphics, a powerlyte model with bamboo stringers, surf rocker reverse camber and a board that has a joint it. These boards will shred.
