Surf Expo aims to not only put on a great show this year but also entertain. At this years show (August 20-22) Eastern Skateboard Supply and Team Pain have teamed up to provide a demo and entertainment for those attending the expo. The demo will feature professionals and a park exclusive to the show.
With less than a month before Surf Expo, the board, beach, and fashion trade show announced details of its schedule of skateboarding events.
Eastern Skateboard Supply is sponsoring a pro demo, including Corey Duffel, Brandon Westgate, Joey Pepper, Chany Jeanguenin, Chad Bartie, Gareth Stehr, JT Aultz and Justin Brock, with more to be named.
The skaters will hit Team Pain’s Skate Art with two daily sessions at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. at Surf Expo’s skate park. Stop by and talk to these skaters or grab an autograph across from Eastern’s booth (#1173) at 2p.m. daily.
Show Director Roy Turner says, “While Surf Expo is known for its business-first attitude, we are also aware that there is a ‘show’ in trade show. What a better way to get excited about skateboarding than to team up with Eastern and its all-star lineup? We encourage everyone to stop by and watch the insane skating as well as take advantage of photo and video opps, perfect for store owners to place in ads and on the web. This is all about business –the skateboard business– so bring your camera and skateboard and take advantage of what Team Pain and Eastern have cooked up for our August trade show.”
When demos aren’t going on, Surf Expo attendees are invited to skate the steel and concrete fabricated Skate Art premiered by Team Pain.
Team Pain promises to bring even more unique urban-inspired features to Surf Expo this August. “We will be providing more of our contemporary skateable art pieces this show, with new designs, a larger course layout with more pieces and more prize money, and giveaways for anyone who wants to ride these features,” says Team Pain Owner Tim Payne.
Check out Team Pain’s Skate Art video from last Surf Expo HERE.
According to Surf Expo Skate Account Manager Doog Becker: “Skateboarding at Surf Expo has seen a change over the last few shows, not only with our events, but we’ve also seen a huge growth with longboarding in the industry, so naturally that trend is also evident on our show floor. I’m excited to be a part of this growth and change.”

Windham to Race U.S. Open
Feld Motor Sports℠ announced today GEICO Powersports’ Honda’s Kevin Windham, of Centerville, Miss., will compete at this year’s Rockstar Energy Drink U.S. Open inside Las Vegas’ MGM Grand garden Arena October 9-11.
Windham has enjoyed success at the Rockstar Energy Drink U.S. Open in the past having finished as high as second place in both 2000 and 2005. At his five Rockstar Energy Drink U.S. Open appearances, he’s only finished outside the top three once (’06: 3rd; ’05: 2nd; ’01: 3rd; ’00: 2nd; ’99: 7th). At his last Rockstar Energy Drink U.S. Open in 2006, he used his 3-4 finishes for third overall.
In 1994 Windham began his professional career and earned the Western Regional AMA Supercross Lites class championship in 1996, winning six races on the season. In AMA Supercross competition, Windham has finished in the runner-up position three times, ’08, ’04 and ’03.
“The U.S. Open is a fun weekend for the riders and fans,” said Windham. “The MGM Grand Garden Arena provides a great atmosphere for a race. It’s like you come to a party and a race breaks out. This fall is going to be exciting because I will race the US Open the first part of October and my wife, Dottie, and I are expecting our fourth child at the end of the month.”
Windham joins defending AMA Supercross class champion James Stewart, who recently announced he will compete at this year’s Rockstar Energy Drink U.S. Open, on the starting gate.

DC KING OF DUBLIN 2009
DC’s King Of Series global skateboarding contest returns for its fourth year, touring to new infamous skate spots worldwide. This one-of-a-kind contest travels to local street skate spots in cities across the globe, welcoming the city’s best unsponsored skateboarders to compete in a jam format contest. The first contest: DC King of Dublin on July 25-26, 2009.
“The DC King Of contests have revealed some of the city’s best skaters and give kids a unique grassroots opportunity to actually have a chance at becoming pro one day,” said Ken Block, DC Chief Brand Officer and Co-Founder.
A win at these contests gives undiscovered street skaters more than just their local city’s respect. The winners walk away with instant global exposure throughout the skate world and a spot on DC’s newly formed DC Kings Team, DC’s latest skate squad based completely off DC King Of contest winners.
The inaugural contest launched in 2006, culminating at Manhattan’s legendary Brooklyn Banks. Since then the DC King Of Series has called on undiscovered skateboarders from all over the world to battle for each city’s coveted title. In 2007, the DC King Of Series traveled to the west coast for DC King of Los Angeles, and later that year went worldwide with the DC King of Barcelona. In 2008, the DC King Of Sao Paulo was held followed by DC King Of Los Angeles II, each crowning its own King.
For 2009 the DC King Of Series continues to grow, and this year the contest will crown five new DC Kings in different cities worldwide. The series kicks off in Dublin, and then moves on to Vancouver, Rome, and Philadelphia, ending in Sydney. Each city’s winner will join the DC Kings Team.
More information soon, and a full site at dcshoes.com/king will launch in a couple of weeks.

Unadilla Goes Retro for 2009
Since 1969, Unadilla has been a track synonymous with motocross. The famed facility hosted its first AMA Pro Motocross national in 1972 and ever since, Unadilla has stayed true to its roots and remains one of the most unique and challenging tracks in the world. As the oldest track on the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Schedule, New Berlin, New York’s historical gem has been the site of many legendary racing moments, as well as some of the most exciting races in series history. To celebrate the track’s 40th Anniversary, MX Sports Pro Racing has announced that this
summer’s event will have a “Retro” theme during the August 15 th event.
Everyone is invited to participate in the retro theme and is encouraged to wear something that celebrates the history of American Motocross from a bygone era. In the spirit of the old school, riders will don throwback-designed gear, reflecting the various styles, colors and patterns of the past 40 years of motocross as they fly in and out of the infamous Gravity Cavity.
While the sport has evolved, Unadilla takes pride in maintaining the heritage that makes it such an outstanding layout. Long, steep hills, natural tabletops, deep ruts and scattered rocks line the track, which gives it the unique character riders and fans enjoy.
All fans in attendance at the Unadilla Pro National are also encouraged to immerse themselves in the retro atmosphere by wearing old school gear of their own like vintage motocross apparel and the same bright colors that made the sport stand out throughout the 80’s and 90’s.
Vintage bikes will be on display in the pits and a number of special guests will be in attendance sharing their memories of Unadilla. Additionally, a number of special events are in store for Retro Day and details will be announced as the race approaches. To purchase tickets to this must see event, log onto www.allisports.com.

SIMA announces new dates for SIMA Surf Summit 2009
The Surf Industry Manufacturers Association (SIMA) is pleased to announce the new dates for Surf Summit 12: September 30 – October 3, 2009 at the Crowne Plaza Resort Los Cabos in San Jose del Cabo, Mexico.
After postponing the original May dates due to concern about the swine flu, SIMA is proud to be continuing the tradition of uniting the tribe in Cabo for the 12th annual SIMA Surf Summit.
"SIMA's new Surf Summit 12 dates reflect the surf industry leadership's strong consensus that we need an annual gathering of people and ideas, be it May or September,” said Doug Palladini, SIMA president. “We know that attending will remain a priority for all SIMA members given the need for increased business acumen and communication in these challenging economic times.”
The event activities will follow the same schedule as previously announced, including favorites such as the Retailer Appreciation Night, Cabo Crawl and the TransWorld SURFari. The winners of the SIMA Image Awards will also be announced during a ceremony in the sand on Friday, October 2, 2009.
The line-up of original speakers will change slightly and a finalized list of speakers will be released in the coming weeks. Attendees will enjoy the same educational benefits, networking and social surfing time as the successful years before.
All attendees that registered for the May Surf Summit dates have been contacted directly and have the option to either roll their registration into these new dates or be issued a refund if they are now unable to attend. For currently registered attendees wishing to roll their registration into the new dates or receive a refund, an Attendance Confirmation Form has been sent and MUST be completed and returned to the SIMA office by Friday, July 31, 2009.
Registration is now open to all SIMA members and surf retailers that were not previously registered for the event in May and can now attend during the new dates. Registration for non-SIMA members and non-surf retailers is by invitation only. The deadline to register is Friday, July 31, 2009.
This year SIMA Surf Summit will be at a new venue – the Crowne Plaza Resort Los Cabos cploscabos.com. The all-inclusive, beachside resort is located closer than in years past to all the hot surf spots, including East Cape, which is just 40-minutes away. With all rooms boasting an ocean view, two colossal pools, and as much great food as you can eat, the Crowne Plaza Resort Los Cabos will provide an epic experience all while allowing for a more affordable registration fee for attendees. The more than accommodating venue will set the stage for four days of networking, informative seminars and surfing.

Für die Gewinner der Profiwertung winkt auch in diesem Jahr Unterstützung in Form eines neuen Obstacles im Wert von € 5.000 für einen Wakeboard-Spot ihrer Wahl. Auf die Siegerteams in der Amateur-Wertung warten ebenfalls jede Menge fette Sachpreise von Pro-tec und Oakley.

Über eine direkte Qualifikation dürfen sich der beste Profi-Rider sowie - dank der T-Mobile Wildcard - der beste Amateur freuen.

Hawaiian Islands Vintage Surf Auction offers sneak peek
Little more than six weeks remain before the Hawaiian Islands Vintage Surf Auction, presented by Quiksilver, rolls out at the Blaisdell Center in Honolulu, July 17 & 18, and bidders are already scrutinizing auction lots online.
Curator Randy Rarick has released an eclectic mix of 18 sneak peek items under his "Peek of the Week" selections that can be viewed online .
Among those already revealed:
Fred Hemmings art
This is one of five items from the James Arness Colection. This particular piece hung in Jim's dressing room at the CBS studio while he was filming "Gunsmoke". Because he liked Makaha so much, photographer, Dr. Don James, had given Arness the original negative from this famous shot of Fred Hemmings shooting the Makaha "Bowl".
Arness then had his studio artist paint this fantastic, huge 5' X 9' plywood backed rendition. Unfortunately, as luck would have it, the artist ruined the negative while he was painting the piece and Jim always felt bad about never being able to return the slide. The picture then hung in his Hollister Ranch house after leaving "Gunsmoke". Superb original condition oil painting, shown here with Fred Hemmings himself!. Photo courtesy Dana Edmunds.
General Veneer Hollow Wood
This is one of the very popular early wood boards that were the equivalent of the modern boogie board. Built using a hollow construction tecnique, they were very popular for body boarding because of their light weight and built in handles. Made of mahagony plywood and varnished, this particular board features the "Aloha" state seal of Hawaii water-slide decal. All orignial condition.
Hurley Pro 2009
The Hurley Pro at Lower Trestles, California is the only ASP World Tour stop to go down on mainland USA.
Kelly Slater took his 34th career win at Lower Trestles back in 2007, breaking Tom Curren’s previous record. Some say this place flatters the most average of surfer, but when the best guys in the world rock up to tear the waves apart, flattery will not be getting anyone anywhere. This is the most attackable wave on the planet.
Andy Irons took the first ASP World Tour event to be held here back in 2000. The USA’s Kelly Slater has since taken three wins here, clearing up in the last two years. After a shaky start at the beginning of this year, he will be looking to reaffirm his position as the greatest surfer of all time, and what better place to do it than on home surf.
As we approach the business end of the season, competition will be hot. The consistent waves at Trestles will be pounded by the fins of the world’s best. Tune in for the latest video highlights and you will not be disappointed.
Hurley US Open of Surfing 2009
What's the closest thing to watching the world's best surfers compete in a full-on stadium atmosphere? Look no further than Huntington Beach in July, when up to 500,000 people will find their way to the real Surf City, post up in the sand and cheer on their heroes at the Pier. It's been that way for 50 years now, starting with the US Championships in 1959 and evolving to today: the Hurley US Open of Surfing.
As the new title sponsor of this storied event, Hurley and its partners intend to make it a life-changing experience from dawn to dusk: Late-afternoon concerts. Hurley's Walk the Walk fashion competition. Elite-level BMX courtesy of Nike 6.0. The best skateboarders courtesy of Converse and Red Bull. And a swarm of activity, demonstrations and booths surrounding our "50 Years at the Pier" celebration.
Of course, center stage will be reserved for the ocean, where both men and women will be competing for points, prize money and HB glory in the title event, the Hurley US Open of Surfing. As a six-star ASP qualifier at the mid-way point in the season, the winner here often goes on to the coveted Dream Tour. Case in point: last year's US Open Men's Champ Nathaniel Curran, who ended up winning the 2008 World Qualifying Series and is now a rookie in the elite Top 45. Along with the six-star, Nike 6.0 will be holding an ASP Pro Junior event another important challenge on the path to become the 20-and-under world junior champion. Rounding out the center stage will be a celebration of the world's top longboarders in a soon-to-be announced format that will certainly have the crowd cheering for more.
In addition to all of this, the Hurley US Open, in conjunction with the World Professional Surfers athlete union, will be introducing the first-ever WPS All Stars event. This will include participation from 10 of the world's best surfers voted on by you the fans. They will surf in the event, sign autographs and blow us away in a special-format expression session that must be seen to be believed.
This isn't just the closest thing to a stadium; it is a stadium. The only place to witness a gathering of the world's most talented action sports stars all in one stretch of sand. As local favorite Brett Simpson says, "Competing in the US Open is one event I look forward to all year theres no other event like it, really. The crowds, the activity, the excitement it's like you have no choice but to perform at your very best."

Nike 6.0 Pier Pressure presented by Jack's
The Nike 6.0 Pro Jr. will take place on June 28th and 29th on the US’s biggest surf stage, Huntington Beach, CA. Featuring the world’s best and most progressive surfers from ASP Junior World Pro Junior Series, the Pier Pressure provides a vital stepping-stone to the World Qualifying Series (WQS) and the World Championship Tour (WCT).
Offering an opportunity to earn maximum points toward the 2010 Billabong World Junior Championships, the Nike 6.0 Pier Pressure draw pits top-rated Junior competitors from around the world against the highest rated North Americans. Qualifying through their results at the 2009 Billabong World Juniors, up to six of the highest rated surfers from Australia, Japan, Africa, Europe, South America and Hawaii will receive seeds into the event to compete against the field of North Americans. All the American surfers have been seeded into the events based on their ASP North America Junior Grade results from last year.
2008 Winner’s Podium
The Nike 6.0 Pier Pressure offers a $20,000 prize purse to competitors this year who were 19 years of age or under as of January 1, 2009. The ASP Junior Grade Series is a global tour that offers an important competitive arena for emerging professional surfers interested in developing their competitive skills. The Junior Tour culminates each year with the Billabong World Junior Championships, where the top five surfers from each ASP region compete for the World Junior Title. Past winners include Andy Irons, Joel Parkinson and Adriano de Souza. This year, there are 10 scheduled North American events for domestic competitors to accumulate qualification points. And while this increase from previous year’s schedule presents the surfers with greater opportunities to accumulate those points, an intense competitive draw, makes it crucial for each to perform at their peak in every heat. Three-quarters of their results will count towards their overall year-end standing, with the top five surfers receiving a seed into the Billabong World Junior Championships. The Nike 6.0 Pier Pressure will provide opportunities for North Americans to earn these coveted qualifying points and international surfers a shot at the money.
If you can’t make it down to the celebration make sure you watch the live webcast June 28th and 29th.

Hawaiian Islands Vintage Surf Auction launches in July
The vault of surf collectibles for the Hawaiian Islands Vintage Surf Auction, presented by Quiksilver Premium is ready for auction. A stunning collection has been amassed, and is set to go under the hammer at the Blaisdell Center, Honolulu, on July 17 & 18, 2009.
Event producer Randy Rarick has been tracking down leads from as far away as Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; the Gold Coast of Australia; the shores of Lima, Peru; the coasts of the Americas; and, of course, right here in his backyard of the Hawaiian Islands.
Beyond wood surfboards from the early 20th century, Rarick has uncovered hollow Blake paddleboards from the '30s, laminated wood boards of the '40s, classic balsas from the '50s, North Shore guns of the '60s, and pro boards from the '70s and '80s. New items continue to flow in.
"The response to the call for consignment items has been phenomenal", noted Rarick.
One of the best collections has come from none other than James Arness of 'Marshall Dillon' fame from the "Gunsmoke" TV series of the '60s. The father of 1970 World Surfing Champion Rolf Arness, James and his family spent winters on the west side at Makaha for close to a decade.
The list of items from the Arness collection includes a 1940's Pete Peterson paddleboard; a 1950 Bob Simmons balsa board; a 13-foot Surfboards Hawaii Dick Brewer Makaha Point gun from the early '60s; and a 12-foot version of son Rolf's Bing Maui Foil. There's also a studio artist rendition of Fred Hemmings' famous ride from the Don James photo at the Makaha Bowl.
"To say the least, these five items alone could make up the auction itself, yet they represent only five per cent of the total items that will be up for bid," said Rarick. Surf decals, posters, art work, and a variety of printed material dating from the missionary era right up to the heyday golden '60s will be available.
A fun grouping of silent auction items will also be available offering low priced deals in addition to the high-end quality items.
Last Call for Consignment Items:
Auction staff are still on the hunt for consignment items. Ninety per cent of the sale price of items will go back to the owners. The remaining 10% will be allocated to the auction's beneficiaries that include: the Outrigger Duke Kahanamoku Foundation; the Surfrider Foundation; and the Surfing Heritage Foundation. So, if you have any old surf treasures in the attic, under your house or stashed away in the garage, pull them out and see if they're worth consigning to the auction and a good cause. This is the last call for consignment items.
The final list of items selected from those submitted will be announced mid-May. Feature items that have already made the cut are currently being shown on the popular "Peek of the Week" at hawaiiansurfauction.com which features a new item each Monday right up until auction day. Free Appraisals In Person, or on the Internet:

After staying true to the motto "Everything's Bigger in Texas" in 2008 with a brilliant aerial rodeo show set on a massive course, the world's best FMX riders are set to return to the Wild West with guns blazing for a high-octane showdown after the scorching sun sets on Saturday, June 27.
Last year saw Jeremy Stenberg (USA) battle it out in a spectacular final with Mat Rebeaud (SUI) in front of a sold out crowd of 20,000 fans at the Historic Forth Worth Stockyards. But Stendberg had to concede defeat to the Swiss star, who pulled an incredible Superman Backflip Indie over the 120-foot gap and claimed his first-ever win on American soil. Rebeaud dominated the Series and went on to capture the overall championship.
In 2009, the riders will return to the Stockyards with even bigger tricks and greater inspiration and an enthusiasm that can only be described as "Texas sized!"
Created back in 2001, the Red Bull X Fighters concerpt has grown to become the biggest and most respected freestyle motocross tour on the planet, featuring the world's best riders throwing down mad tricks in stunning locations across the globe. The 5 stop world tour that is scheduled to rock the USA, Canada, Mexico, Spain, and England in 2009 is the culmination of a truly unbelievable success story. It's going to be one hell of a season as the best riders in the world meet again at the Red Bull X Fighters to take FMX to the next level.

Nat Young Claims ASP Grade-3 Arnette Pro Junior
Nat Young (Santa Cruz, CA), 17, won the Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) North America Pro Junior Series Grade-3 Arnette All Day Antics Pro Junior presented by Jack’s Surfboards in two-to-three foot (1 metre) surf at 56th street in Newport Beach, California topping fellow finalists Keanu Asing (Ewa Beach, HI), 16, Cory Arrambide (Ventura, CA), 19, and Cody Thompson (Jacksonville, FL), 19.
All surfers competing on the ASP North America Pro Junior Series are battling for their spot at the ASP World Junior Championships held in Narrabeen, Australia each January. ASP North America will send the series’ top three finishers at year’s end to the coveted event, where each surfer earns the chance to claim the prestigious title of ASP World Junior Champion.
Young’s dominating performance in the Arnette All Day Antics explained why he is a threat in every ASP North America Pro Junior Series event. The humble goofy-footer annihilated his competition today and jumped out to an early lead in the Final, posting two average scores before smashing an 8.25 out of 10 on his last wave to solidify the win.
“The Final was kind of weird,” Young said. “There weren’t many good waves, so I just tried to stay busy and keep improving my scores and luckily on that last wave I got two good turns in and got a solid score.”
The Santa Cruz native’s lightning-quick forehand approach and impeccable wave ion on the racy lefthanders at 56th street played a critical role in his impressive showing.
”I think it definitely helps to be on your forehand out here on these lefts,” Young said. “It’s pretty fast, but in the end you’ve really just got to get the best waves out there. It’s whoever gets the best waves.”
The Arnette All Day Antics Pro Junior victory by Young will play a critical role in his quest toward requalification for next year’s ASP World Junior Championships and will launch him towards the top of the 2009 ASP North America Pro Junior Series ratings.
“I’m stoked to win the Grade-3,” Young said. “This is my first win of the year and it’s especially good because of the extra points, so it’s important for this year.”
Asing quietly marched his way through to a second place finish, smashing the 56th street lefthanders on his backhand throughout the event in route to his standout performance. The explosive Hawaiian got off to a slow start in the Final, but worked his way back up the ladder to finish behind Young.
“I’m just really happy to make the Final,” Asing said. “It’s great to come over here and get some points. Congratulations to Nat (Young) and all of the other finalists, everyone was surfing well."
Asing is hoping his second place finish will help his chances in representing Hawaii at the Billabong ASP World Junior Championships next year.
“It’s really cool to be able to earn points towards qualification for worlds,” Asing said. “I had fun here and I hope this helps my cause.”
Arrambide, who was the defending Arnette Pro Junior Series Champion, was off to a rough start to his 2009 season, but the defending ASP North America Pro Junior Series Champion was back to his usual domineering form en route to his third place result. The Ventura local smashed a seven-point-ride early on in the Final, but could not find another solid score to take out the win.
“I was definitely nervous coming in to this contest,” Arrambide said. “My first two contests were kind of shockers, but since then, I’ve been training harder than ever and I’m stoked to get on a role. I haven’t really had a good heat yet, I’ve just kind of been skimming through.”
Thompson’s Final berth was a notable result for the ASP North America Pro Junior standout, marking his first appearance amongst the final four surfers in three years. The talented Floridian’s fourth place finish at the Arnette Pro Junior helped him break out of his early season slump and Thompson was happy to capitalize on the additional ASP Grade-3 points on offer.
“This is the first Pro Junior Final I’ve made since I was 16,” Thompson said. “I’ve been in a slump, so I’m stoked to have made it here. I’ve had a really bad year. This is the first event that I’ve made it out of my seeded round, so to make it to the Final in this one, a Grade-3, it’s really important to me.”
The next ASP North America Pro Junior Series event will be the ASP Grade-4 Nike 6.0 Pier Pressure presented by Jack’s from June 28-29, 2009.
