Check out this “surfer,” Tom Gregg, who is filing a lawsuit against Channel Island Surfboards. Gregg suffered a “deep gash” on his right leg when he wiped out off the coast of France in 2009 and is now filing a lawsuit. “The surfboard, fins and their component parts were unsafe for their intended use,” Gregg said in the lawsuit, filed Wednesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court.

I hope this guy is landlocked somewhere far, far away from any of our waves.

Check out this hilarious video of Occy on the Australian Dancing with the Stars show. Doesn’t the dancer in the video remind you of the little Occy in the movie, North Shore?? Haha, he’s just as bad on Dancing with the Stars as Rick Kane was in the Arizona wave pool! Don’t shred so bad brah, you break your stick. Really, props to the movie North Shore. That was and still is a classic surf movie. It’s a “must have” in your surf movie vault.

Watch the first ever video recording of a surfer successfully completing a kickflip. Like the kickflip used in skateboarding. Volcom setup this kickflip contest in November 2007 and offered $10,000 to the lucky winner.
Zoltan Torkos, of Santa Cruz, California, won the contest. On March 4, Torkos landed the move on video. On March 8, Volcom disqualified his video because his board flip was not completed “above the lip,” free of backwash and chop hops. Volcom, after seeing how much attention the contest and the kickflip was getting across the web, they decided to reverse their decision and award Zoltan the $10,000. Volcom still wants to see an “above the lip” kickflip.
Now, Volcom is offering $20,000 for the first kickflip “above the lip.” No backwash, No chop hops, or anything in the flats or below the lip of the wave. This means NO tow-ats, step-offs, jet-skis, boats, dinghys, winches, canoes, oars, helicopters, dolphins or assistance of any kind. Volcom’s NEW kickflip website.
