Jason Baffa adventures to Sardinia
Jason Baffa is at work with possibly his most ambitious project yet. All for potentially great surf and great shots, Jason Baffa Films has moved to Sardinia hauling 35mm gear without cars or the assistance of most modern day technology. Unfortunately, this means Baffa will not be able to check out our new office anytime soon, as he will be on a ferry in the middle of the Mediterranean…

Devon Howard, 'Bu
Devon Howard, a proposito dell'ultima swell californiana:
"It's kinda counter-intuitive, but I decided to do Friday through Monday at Malibu,urban camping style in my van. Instead of hiding from the crowds at obscure spots, I went to the most psycho, apocalyptic lineup and faced it head on, clocking nearly 30 hours of water time and surviving several near death experiences from all the free falling detritus."

Joel Tudor Duct Tape Invitational 2012
The world’s best longboard surfers and their uniquely progressive longboard surf style come to the epicenter of European surfing as the Joel Tudor Duct Tape Invitational presented by Vans heads to Cote des Basque in Biarritz, France September 28-30, 2012. Directed by two-time world longboard champion Joel Tudor, the event will require competitors to bring two boards: a traditional style longboard and a mid-length board (ranging from 7’ to 8’ 10”) – each must be single fin and leashless boards – with contestants riding what the conditions demand. Expect to see amazing style and nose riding that harkens back to surfing’s early years, but with progression that only today’s most talented surfers can bring. The 16-man contest spans a three-day holding period and will offer a $10,000 prize purse with top contenders including past winners Alex Knost and Tyler Warren of California, Floridian Justin Quintana and other standouts such as Californians Jared Mell and Ryan Burch and Australian Harrison Roach. New invitees to watch include English longboard champion James Parry and local French longboarder Clovis Donizetti of Biarritz.Vans also debuts Get-N Classic, Vol. 2, the latest surf film chronicling the exploits of the Vans surf team, in Biarritz, specific details and invitations will be released soon.
