This weekend, Sal Masekela is having an estate sale. Skate and surfboards, Sneakers, art, books, and more...proceeds are going to benefit Stoked.Org.

801 Rialto Court
Venice, CA 90291




Stoked.Org's mission is to create a community of fearless leaders through mentoring, opportunity, and action. In addition to weekend trips to learn action sports, they provide after school programming for our youth to be mentored by their STOKED Coach and to learn how to build a skateboard from start to finish.


A few weeks ago, they listed some $4,000 Maui & Sons Surfboards for sale, it looks like that was because Maui & Sons® Venice Beach is actually closing shop for real this time. So head down there for their Closing Sale.

So far it appears only the Venice Beach store is closing down (the one on the Venice Boardwalk across from the skatepark), not the Marina Del Rey store (the one across from the Venice Pier).

Friday and Saturday, October 4th-5th: 3-4’ surf at better combo exposures, plus sets at the best of those breaks.

Morning winds mainly light. SSW swell (200-180) eases, keeping spots with a good southerly view in North LA. NW swell-mix pulses up with knee-waist high+ waves at better winter exposures. Best combo exposed breaks see shoulder high+ peaks/sets around the more favorable tides. High tide around 5′ bogs most areas down during the middle of the day. Winds are light/variable to light offshore in the morning, becoming light+ to moderate from the W in the afternoon.


The Tony Alva Story will be featured at the Other Venice Film Festival on Oct. 5th.

The OVFF is a nonprofit community event dedicated to screening full- length features, short and animated films that embody the spirit, energy and diversity of Venice, California. Filmmakers descended on Venice for two days of film screenings, premieres, sell out crowds, spirited Q&A sessions, panel discussions, local art on display and parties with live music.

The Tony Alva Story
61-years-old Alva, the oldest professional, skateboarder in the world, is considered by many to be the godfather of modern day skateboarding. Alva’s brand of aggression and bravado in the 70’s set the stage for the way skateboarding would be forever defined.

Vans’ The Tony Alva Story chronicles T.A.’s humble beginnings on the streets of Santa Monica to his rise to superstardom as part of the legendary Z-Boys, his inevitable drug-induced implosion and his ultimate rise from the ashes to accept his rightful place as a beacon of hope and inspiration for generations of skateboarders the world over.

Also they will be showing:

Surfing With Sugar
His path to healing came in an unlikely form meeting and rescuing a street dog and future surfing partner Sugar. The two have since become local legends inspiring visitors and locals with their abilities in the waves and their special relationship.His path to healing came in an unlikely form meeting and rescuing a street dog and future surfing partner Sugar.

Are you a lover of classic longboarding? Are you mesmerized watching surfers effortlessly doing dropknees and bottom turns? Do you yearn to cross-step and perch on the nose, just like them, but not sure how to do it? Or are you a beginner who wants a chance to ask all the questions you have about how to improve, catch more waves and longer rides?

Someone in Ventura had his longboard fly off his car, and it vanished. It's the blue board pictured above.

Here's the Craigslist posting about it:

Missing Surfboard* URGENT + Reward - $69 (Pierpont/Seaward)

My beloved log flew off my roof this afternoon (Sunday 9/22) at the Seaward 101 N onramp. I retraced my route seconds later and it's gone.. If anyone has this PLEASE contact me ASAP. Reward of course!

I just lost my other longboard 2 weeks ago, so this happened to me twice this month. If you have it, please have a heart and return it :)
