Dreamland Skateparks – Bridge to Bridge.

Super cool short documentary on the good dudes of Dreamland Skateparks.

Ride for Shogo Kubo.

Don’t ever need a reason to skate pools with good friends, but this day we rode in honor of skateboard legend, Shogo Kubo. Ozzie lined up the venue and called up Salba, KB and Riverside Shawn the week prior to clean up this epic Rossmore Blue Haven.

That very next Sunday we all met out front and listened to stories past of Shogo. Then stepped into the backyard to begin one of the best sessions I’ve been a part of in a long time. Just pure stoke.

Thanks to everyone for a great day and epic session.

2014 Van Doren Invitational Course Renderings.

CA Ramp Works just released the confirmed course renderings for the 2014 Van Doren Invitational. Looking pretty similar to last year’s Marseille setup, but with a squared off bowl instead of the round.

The 2014 Van Doren Invitational Contest will take place in Huntington Beach during the US Open of Surfing the last week of July, with the finals on Sunday, August 2.
