Creatures of Gorkin

April 28th, 2011 by John Zanussi

This guy Gorkin just may be my favorite surfer from the East Coast. I mean Kelly Slater is from the East Coast but I’m talking about dudes who still live and rip up and down the right coast. Aaron Cormican aka Gorkin is a true East Coast surfer, the dude does what he wants and surfs like a maniac. He was on …Lost, fired from the team, then got back on and he’s won and placed in a bunch of comps recently, but when it comes down to it, he shreds and goes hard on every maneuver. More »

If you watched any of the live web cast of the Bells contest, you may have noticed a weird flying object buzzing around the lineup every now and again. That thing was the Surf Quadrocopter by Exteme Aerials and here’s some footage taken from the copter. More »

WhiskeyMilitia Surf Day

WhiskeyMilitia Surf Day
April 27th, 2011 by John Zanussi

  WhiskeyMilitia.com is definitely the best website for buying quality gear for super cheap. I don’t even want to know how much money I’ve spent on that site over the past three and a half years but that number is going to increase today. Usually on the site they have an assortment of surf, skate, and snowboard gear but today from 12pm to 3pm EDT, it will be all surf gear. On their Facebook page they say they’ll have brand new 2011 products, $20 surfboards, $1 wetsuits, and much more. I already saw some analog boardshorts and 5mm Xcel 5 finger gloves for $1 on there this morning, so who knows what else they’ve got for the rest of the day!

April 26th, 2011 by John Zanussi

This is one of the best interviews I’ve seen with Kelly Slater. Yahoo Australia does a real good job of briefly recapping Kelly’s life and shedding light on some things you might not known about the 10x world champ. This video is definitely worth the 7 minutes it’ll take you to watch. More »

Photographer Profile: Greg Heine of Northeast Sessions
April 25th, 2011 by John Zanussi

In the second edition of our Photographer Profile series I had a chat with a friend of mine, Greg Heine. Greg started taking photos as a hobby after graduating high school while attending college in Boston and has since honed his skills enough that he started his own site, Northeast Sessions. Besides being a rad dude who surfs well and listens to the most G’ed up rap music out of anyone I know, he’s got a keen eye for photography and it shows. Take a look at some of his photos along with the short interview below. More »
