News Update from Transworld Surf:

A snowboard manufacturing company out of Huntington Beach, Signal Snowboards, has a cool little show they produce called, Every Third Thursday where they get weird and have fun (which is right up our alley). For this particular episode, they chose to make a surfboard/snowboard hybrid—something that could be ridden on both mountain and in the ocean. With Rob Machado as their test pilot in the surf and Baldface Lodge in Canada acting as their canvas, we think the bros at Signal Snowboards may be on to—or just on—something…

The simplest of ideas sometimes prove most difficult, as the Reef team learned firsthand. “Those guys were super lucky to get a few hours at perfect, three-to-four-foot Teahupo’o” says Ben Bourgeois, who thanks to Delta airlines got stuck for 30 hours in the Atlanta airport en route to Tahiti, thus missing the day in which these images took place. “Once I arrived the surf was huge, blown out, and junky the rest of the trip. If it weren’t for that first day, the concept would have been blown and these photos wouldn’t have happened.”

According to Reef photographer Chris Straley, “Our concept isn’t 100 percent original, as underwater photography has been seen before, but we wanted an organic, raw feeling. We didn’t want to do helicopters or any of that shit because it doesn’t fit with our brand direction. We’ve seen so many rad below-the-surface photos that guys like Brian Bielmann have shot, and that gave us the idea for an underlying theme—which is to try and portray what a reef would have seen throughout the years since the creation of surfing.”

Accessories are a must have for any time of the year! They turn an ordinary outfit into something amazing and make the perfect Holiday gifts for your favorite girl. We took a poll among our fellow Killer Dana employees to find out what accessories all the girls were dreaming about. Here’s our top 5 list:

1. The O’Neill Riley Scarf is one of those key wardrobe pieces that will dress up pretty much any outfit. It looks amazing in winter paired over a hoodie or cardigan and even works just was well in the Spring over a nice day dress.

2. The Roxy Coco Slipper is by far the ultimate holiday gift that you could give! What’s better then cozy cute warm feet? Almost nothing! Get on these little bad boys before they sell out… they have an awesome rubber sole so you can cruise around outside as well.

3. The O’Neill Jackie Purse is one of those perfect year round accessories that will never get old. The black and white tonal tribal print keeps things fresh and exciting while the luxurious space of the bag leaves you with options on where you can use it… pretty much anywhere!

4. The Reef Ugandal 2 Sandal These sandals look amazing. But they’ll make you feel even more amazing, because the way they’re made helps employ displaced women in Uganda, which we’re sure you’ll agree is an uber-good cause. These women hand crafted the colorful, native-looking beads on the leather t-strap. Beads are made of 100% recycled paper, and coasted in a water-based lacquer for shine and durability. Sandal has a chrome-free leather footbed with an extra foam cushion for comfort. These are so pretty, and they help do good, too. How could you not love the Ugandal 2 Sandal from Reef? We’re totally head over heels… pun intended.

5. The O’Neill Tamarindo Sunglasses not only have a amazing fit that looks great on any girls face but they are on sale right now for $49.99 (normally $79.95)!

We have TONS of other amazing accessories as well so please take a gander: KillerDana.com

I’ve been kiteboarding for 3 years now, and the more I ride, the more I realize what an incredible sport it is. Seriously. You can cruise, you can surf, you can jump higher than you ever thought possible and you can land wake boarding-inspired tricks. You can do pretty much everything you want with a kite and a board.; you can even use props!

Just 2 weeks ago the guys gathered together to organize the very first kicker contest in French Polynesia. The idea is simple: using kickers & sliders to land the most radical tricks you can.
Here are the shots of this fun & sunny day: lots of killer maneuvers, but lots of crashes too =)
