"Somebody blew a trash can in front of Hinano Cafe (the bar 🍻 🍺) after the Venice Electric Light Parade. No more than 5 minutes after we finished our weekly ride KABOOM! I was 50-100 feet away and it still hurt my ears! One of our riders was injured in the blast, turning a simple prank into a crime scene."

A vehicle parked near Surfrider Beach was broken into and two iPhones worth $2,300 and multiple credit cards were stolen. The victim received a notification of a $15,000 purchase made at a Nordstrom and a $11,000 at the Apple store at The Grove in West Hollywood.

Created to celebrate Alva Skates 45th Anniversary, Alva has teamed up with legendary Lowrider artist Moetallica to create twelve one-of-a-kind hand-painted Alva skateboard decks and completes. Each Alva X Moetallica deck comes with a certificate of authenticity, edition number, Tony Alva signature and polaroid, and Moetallica signature "M 22" on the tail rail.

For over twenty-five years, Moetallica has customized cars, motorcycles, and, more recently, skateboards. Each Alva X Moetallica hand-painted deck takes 3-4 weeks to complete. All graphics are hand-painted and not silkscreened.

"Code Red 2 Largest south swell in years slams into the west coast. After massive surf in both Tahiti and Hawaii the code red 2 swell arrived in California. 4 days of perfect surf from sunrise to sunset. I knew I needed to capture all angles of the swell so I brought all my surf and camera gear and made a few days of it. Malibu is one of the best waves in California when its working and for these few days it was perfect. Koa Rothman, Luke davis, and Taro Watanabe were some of the standouts of the swell. Beach was packed with people from all up and down the coast. Massive waves crashed into the pier and lots of people had to be rescued over the week. Hope you enjoy"

Venice Surfing Association announced the date of their first surf contest. It will be held on Saturday, September 24th at the Venice Breakwater.
