At the begining of every summer for the past 4 years Dive N’ Surf has put together an epic worthy RAGER that pretty much marks the date for the start of southern califorina’s upcoming heat. It was one amazing day with performances from Tomorrows Bad Seeds along with Too Rude, Midnight Lamp, and Donkey Show.

Every year this event gets bigger fatter and more bad asser. So incase you missed out, check out the maddness from the Badseeds when they got together with Pennywise’s Jim Lindberg.

Check out this photo shoot from almost unknown photographer David Bellemere from Paris. What caught my eye about these photos, (besides the obviously half-naked women) was the almost legendary location of where they were taken.

The photos were taken at the Sheats-Goldstein residence which is an amazing one of a kind house designed by John Lautner. The badass Beverly Hills home was bought by a Flamboyant billionaire back in 1972, James Goldstein, who is also known to be a hardcore Lakers fan.

The house was even featured in the super funny film The Big Lebowski and was also used by Snoop dog in his music video Let’s Get Blown.

Go Lakers. Go Lautner. Go Goldstein. Go Contemporary Homes. Go David Bellemere. Go Photography of half-naked chicks. Go Coen Brothers. Go Big Lebowski. Go Snoop & Pharrell. Go Los Angeles California, My favorite fuckin place on earth.

Photographer Nick Pinto is living the life, traveling and meeting talented people while making them look ever so good. The San Diego native who currently resides in our friendly city of Los Angeles is ready for the summer and all the blessings that come with it.

Taking full advantage of our fabulous weather this summer you will mostly find Nick out and about soaking in the cosmic rays while capturing all the hottness with his  camera lens.

Check out the shoot he did with these two jerks, Legacy and Ben J of the New Boyz who have just recently released their You’re a Jerk music video.

The homie Nick seen here, hangin with the New Boyz, rockin’ the GNARLE VSKATE tee. Brrrap.

Starting Saturday August 29th, the California Surf Museum will be opening a new exhibit that will highlight the historical roots of skateboarding. The exhibit focuses on the craft, and will exhibit skateboard models, manufacturers and riders from the 1930’s to the 1980’s.

On the day of the opening, professional Shredders, as well as industry rock stars and representatives will be there to share their  stories and of course, to autograph your boobies. If you want.

Got to meet Toan Nguyen!! I was super stoked to have met him. When i was a kid I used to love his part in the Shorty’s video, “Fulfill the Dream”.

He got me into spinning everything on my finger haha! (All my friends do it too). His part also got me pumped up to go out n’ skate! Check him out! Hope you enjoy the shirt Toan!

You guys have exactly one week left to buy me a Signed lithograph from Mel Ramos. Or else. However, if you are feeling selfish, get one for yourself and brag about it later.

Gonpachi was the shit! Marlon from Natives knows how to throw a rager! (It was his b-day btw). Everyone here at gnarlē was running around wild, handing out gift bags, dancing, slamming drinks, and mingling with all the people at the event. It was great, I even got to meet P Rod and Toan Nguyen.

Gonpachi is super nice, it reminds me of the place in that Kill Bill scene where Uma hacks up a gajillion fools with her Samurai sword. Yea, it looked like that, except a few less sword fights and a lot more dancing.

Mad props to all the people who made it out, and thanks to Natives and Markisa for having us. We can’t wait for the next one! Make sure to check out Markisa, Natives, Primative, Cappaline, and Diamond Supply Co. if you haven’t yet. Keep checkin’ in for more updates and events. Don’t miss out on the next one mothalickas!
