Beautiful morning at the pier, small but fun waves. Here's some photos from Six12 Media.
There's a lot more photos, all in high-resolution, in the complete Venice Pier - Tuesday 8-8-2017 Gallery.
Vissla has partnered up with the Surfrider Foundation to challenge you, the wave conscious, to take something that might be considered waste and create something that can be used in the ocean.
Upcycle
You must upcycle an old or found object into a functional wave riding craft (i.e. surfboards, handplanes, paipos, fins, alaias, skim boards, boats, etc.) Be creative!
Enter
All contestants must enter a video or 3-6 photographs showing their project from start to finish via Instagram #CreatorsContest and clearly state your country of residence by September 10, 2017.
Judging
Judging will be based on innovation, functionality, creativity, design, and aesthetics. Finalists
4 finalists in 2 categories – Under 16 and Open Divisions – will be selected and asked to send in their projects for verification and final voting. Finalists will be awarded exclusive prizes and invited to an event gallery show to have their final object on display.

Join Surfrider LA for their inaugural #NoStrawBarCrawl to help us raise awareness around the greatest offender of single-use plastic pollution - the plastic straw.
In an effort to encourage the city of Santa Monica to adopt an ordinance addressing the problem of plastic straw waste and pollution, Surfrider LA will be leading a bar crawl down Main Street on Saturday August 26th at various participating establishments.
After hosting They Will Surf Again in Santa Monica last month, Life Rolls On's Get On Board 2017 Tour continues with another local event, They Will Skate Again.
Held in the Venice Skatepark, this is another free event, but instead of getting waves, this is a skate clinic for people of all ages with disabilities who want to ride the skatepark in their wheelchairs. From first timers to seasoned pro wheelchair athletes, this was an all day skate clinic with a Grom Contest.
More than a day of recreational activity, They Will Skate Again also serves as an exceptional opportunity for individuals with SCI and their families to network and establish new support networks outside traditional group support settings. Founded by world champion quadriplegic surfer Jesse Billauer, Life Rolls On is dedicated to improving the quality of life for young people affected by spinal cord injury. Believing that adaptive surfing and skating could inspire infinite possibilities beyond paralysis.

There's a huge gallery of photos from this event. Check them out: LRO: They Will Skate Again 2017 Photo Gallery.

Steps from the water in Santa Monica sits an old, 10,000 square foot warehouse. Designers at Malibu's Classical Progression, Inc. gutted it to create a HQ for the World Surf League, the global professional surf competition organizer and broadcaster, formerly located in Melbourne, Australia. There are nearly 50 full time employees in the office at Bay and Main Streets. The space also plays hosts to visiting professional surfers, many of whom show up straight from the water, and the designers worked with the company to create a space where both visitors and employees would feel comfortable working or just hanging out.
The office is located on the corner of Main Street which hosts a steady flow of public buses. There are also bike lanes along the streets and a boardwalk steps away on the Santa Monica beach. Professional surfers can easily leave the waves to walk over to the office for a meeting or interview.
Since the World Surf League encourages surfers to visit and employees to enjoy their time in the office, half of the space is dedicated to open, social areas: a gym with locker rooms, enclosed living rooms with couches and televisions, a reading area, and large café complete with a vintage bar from the 1920s. These areas create a friendly vibe where both visitors and employees can mingle and think creatively.
Collectors’ surfboards, including one used by Duke, the father of modern surfing, lean unassumingly against white gallery walls. Sliding entrance doors roll on custom-designed skateboard wheels. The floor plan of the open bullpen reflects the contours of a surfboard and above this open workspace is a school of surfboards suspended from the bow and truss ceilings. Expansive steel and glass windows welcome sunlight to naturally illuminate the space. The atmosphere feels laid back yet refined and wholeheartedly surfer chic.
The most eye-catching element is the undulating divider wall, finished with aged mahogany wine-barrel staves, that meanders throughout the office. As you follow the wave-like form, you are gently nudged into dedicated environments for filming, editing, socializing, exercising, conducting meetings, along with the essential offices for creative and business departments.
Abor-Venice wants to see your photos from the places you go when pushing your board. On Instagram, tag @arborvenice in your Skateboard photos and hashtag #ArborVenice from now until September 1st and they are going to select the top 3 pictures to win a care package from Arbor.
