As 2011 comes to a close it’s a great time to look back at all the excellent content we’ve had on the site in the past 12 months. All this week I’ll be posting stuff that was popular in 2011 along with some of my favorites. To kick things off, I’ve grabbed the most viewed videos on SURFBANG in 2011. More
If you’re a football fan living in New York, chances are you’re probably a Giants or Jets fan. You’ll also know that tomorrow’s matchup between the two teams means a lot for each team’s playoff hopes. This is a surf blog so I’ll spare you my thoughts on the game but what better way to root for your team then by wearing a nice pair of Quiksilver boardshorts. Quiksilver has teamed up with the NFL to release a line of shorts that represent teams from the NFL. Up until the summer only two of the California football teams were available but right before the Quiksilver Pro New York started Quik debuted shorts for the Giants and Jets. More
PinchMySalt.tv’s Sterling Spencer is an interesting dude. His blog always offers up some sort of weirdly hilarious content in the form of words, photos, and video. Most recently he teamed up with Billabong and Verizon to put together this 38 minute surf movie featuring guys like Taj Burrow, Dane Reynolds, Jordy Smith, and a handful more. The movie is totally free and you can watch it online right here or download it. More
A couple of days ago the popular tech site Gizmodo posted a photo of what appeared to be this iPhone case that had the signature Van’s waffle sole as the backing. It’s safe to say that the internet went nuts trying to find out where they could buy it and I totally understand why. The case is super cool and if you’ve ever owned a pair of Van’s kicks you’d probably agree. The case has white sides with the waffle sole back and the Van’s “Off the Wall” tag on the side. Pictures below. More

When I first saw them I immediately thought it was someone screwing around in Photoshop. After some video popped up (below) and a few google searches, I found myself reading about Kelvin-Helmholtz instability which is the cause of the amazingly cool looking clouds. More
Today was going just fine until the news that the 2012 Quiksilver Pro New York just landed in my inbox. After all the back and forth that went down a few days before this past year’s event I can’t say that I’m surprised that it fell through for 2012. Full press release from the ASP is below. More
