And it’s the first of its kind! Surfr, developed by award winning design company Pixil Agency , is a new app for iPhone that logs surfing experiences. It displays your mobile uploads, spot check-ins and swell info in one easily navigatable package. Unfortunately, its release is currently halted due to funding hardships and it needs help to be completed. More »

Billabong.com Hacked / 35k Passwords Leaked
If you follow any bit of tech news you’ve probably heard of websites recently being hacked and then thousands of username and passwords being leaked on the internet. It’s happened to sites like LinkedIn, Last.fm, and even Yahoo. Usually these things stay within tech news and don’t warrant us posting about it. However, last week I read that Billabong.com had been hacked and 35,000 emails and passwords had been leaked and that certainly qualifies for a post on this site. More »

Sound Off: ASP Pay-Per-View Webcasts
The buzz around the online surf community is that the ASP is discussing a pay-per-view model for the live webcasts of tour events. Times are still tough these days, and if industry leaders like Quiksilver and Billabong are having trouble making a profit, how can anyone expect the problem-riddled Association of Surfing Professionals to stay afloat? Charging users to watch live webcasts is a good idea in theory, but will it be successful in the long run? 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 »
