The King of Pipe? (2013)
Just ran into this gem of a video while browsing youtube. In 2013, the IBA held an expression session and invited wave riders of all forms to compete against one another to be the King of Pipe. Some big names were involved in the heat. Those that were invited included:
Bruce Irons -- riding a surfboard
Jamie O'Brien -- riding a surfboard
Mike Stewart -- riding a bodyboard
Jeff Hubbard -- riding a bodyboard
Kala Alexander -- riding a SUP board
Kainoa McGee -- riding a SUP board
Mark Cunningham -- bodysurfing
So stoked that it was the IBA that put this event on. Truly epitomizing WAVE SLIDE CULTURE! This expression session replicates what a normal line-up would look like and it's pretty cool to see it turned into a competition. What are your thoughts? Who do you think should've been crowned as the King of Pipe? And...do you think there should be more of these contests?

Morey Bodyboards
In case you didn't get the memo yet, Morey Bodyboards are back! The brand that helped start a movement of wave riding an alternative wavecraft other than a surfboard is back. They return to the same feel and quality that it has had before. The refreshed logo is also something that we here at OKSHOOTS are really liking. Get out to your local shop and check them out, if they are not in your shop start requesting them. We have included some of the new line in the photos below. For more info regarding any of Morey's new line of boards follow the link below.

New Swim Fins
If you are in need for new swim fins or just looking to add some new fins to you quiver, then you are in luck. Three different brands are releasing either new colorways for their fins or they are just now releasing their new fin design. We are going to see new colorways from Ally Swimfins featuring their "Clark Little" editions which are a tri-color design with an added heel pad for comfort.
Viper Fins are releasing their latest fin design, MS Delta Viper, which features a now asymmetrical design.
Another swimfin that is going to be released soon is coming from the Hubboards camp, with their fin the "Air Hubb." This fin is also going to feature an asymmetrical design.

Kainoa McGee: Waterman
Kainoa is probably one of the most respected Waterman in Hawaii, if not the whole surfing world. We felt like we should just let the whole world know that again if they didn't know about that already. Below are a few video clips, if you have never seen Kainoa in action. Enjoy.
DK Wars
With DK Wars Salt Creek coming up on the schdule, we figured we'd share some footage from past DK Wars events to help you get your stoke on. The first clip being the La Jolla DK Wars and the second video clip was from last year's event at Salt Creek. Enjoy!
BIA EVENT - PONTO BEACH
We had some of the crew cruise to the BIA event in Ponto beach California. The event was more of a meet-and-greet for us, as we connected with some of our Instagram friends. We watched some of the first heats, but mostly just hung out with the boys at Sponge Daily and talked about future projects (Instagram @SpongeDailyClothing). For more tour information and event results, visit www.biatour.net

Stand Up Bodyboard or Super Shortboard
It's interesting to see how the surfing world can come a full circle and still get inspiration from a bodyboard shape to create a surfboard. Well one surf company shop has done that and it's pretty rad to see this happen. Bing Surf is the shop that has done just this. Below is a brief description of the board.
"Speed Square
"Speed Square
Inspired by his fond childhood memories on a Mach-77 boogie board, Bing team rider, Chris Del Moro convinced shaper, Matt Calvani to help him recapture the magic in this modern-day twin-finned version called the Speed Square. Because of its short length, Matt added belly in the nose with a quick transition into a hard, tapered rail in the tail so that the board would be quick and responsive. He added a deep straight concave that runs from where your front foot sits through the tail of the board to gain efficiency in glide and maintained thickness in the tail to improve glide and wave-catching ability. The small twin keels maintain a “fin-less” riding quality but still allowing for some control. Ride it short, ride it fast and get ready for a whole lot of fun! "
Surge Magazine Issue 8.0
Trying to get information or the lastest photos on what is going on in the bodyboarding world is tough. We know as fans of this sport we would love to see all the latest photos and clips of your favorite riders. Luckily we still have some companies still willing to put out a magazine and document this great sport, one of them is Surge. The great thing about Surge is that they are an online magazine so their content is available for many to check out. Below is their latest issue.
Brad Domke Skimboarder
When you hear the word skimboarding, you usually think of the kids skimming across a thin layer of water on the beach. Well if you've been around the beach or know about Wave Slide Culture, Skimboarding is a lot more than that. It usually appears like the skimboarding is just sliding into a wall of a wave, but what they do with that is quite amazing. Here's an extreme view of what skimboarding can be.
Aussies Takeover the USA Pacific NW
Dave Winchester, Chris James, and Jordan Putland come over from the land down under to the Pacific Northwest of the United States to shred these frigid waters and tame the "Yeti". Watch as they shred these slabs and tame the beast. These Aussie came to shred and shred they did. Enjoy "Chasing the Yeti".

Lady Wave Riders
If there's one thing us guys enjoy it's seeing beautiful women at the beach whether it's in the water or just at the shore trying to get their tan on. We think there's something much more enjoyable than that, it's a women that can surf and shred with the best of them. Here's a clip we found of lady wave shredder Isabela Sousa shredding it up in Rio. Enjoy.

Stand-Up Bodyboarding
Whoever first dared to stand up on a bodyboard is a pure innovator. One of the first people that we seen stand-up on a bodyboard was Chris "wonton" Taloa. He was just a pure waterman, good on both prone and dropknee. Well following in those foot steps we stumbled upon this El Salvadorian they call "Zancudo." The clip says it all, enjoy!
