Finsterre Adventure Clothes for Surfers
Truth be told, most surfers try their darndest to look like surfers. A lot of it comes out naturally, but a Billabong tee or a pair of Quiksilver board shorts almost guarantees you won’t be mistaken for a land loving kook (Even if you happen to be one). However, there are those hardcore and non-conventional watermen (and women) who couldn’t care less if their logos match the fashion wave of the year. [b]It’s all about function![/b]

GoPro Digital Hero Surf Camera
The sun floats low in the morning sky, and a stiff offshore breeze blows open a perfect empty barrel as you paddle past the shoulder. That would make a great picture you think as the moment collapses in a bubbling mass of foam lost to the shore forever. Now imagine that same barrel filled with your best buddy in his most spectacular surfing experience to date.What an insane image…gone!

Freestyle Fusion Waterproof Surfing MP3 Player
Ka-Boom! The Freestyle Fusion drops like an atom bomb on surfers who really love their tunes. Subtract the bogus cassette tape from my 80’s surf-rock-opera fantasy and add the blinding future shock of the digital age.

Quiksilver's EQPT Line of Exercise Clolthing
The folks at Quiksilver are stepping outside the box, attempting to fill an obvious void in the surf apparel choices and push beyond the over saturated surf industry clone war and into the world of exercise gear. Countless companies offer boardshorts and walkshorts, but these are not functional for exercising. Boardshorts don’t breathe and walkshorts don’t stretch. So Quiksilver has rolled the dice and unveiled a new line called EQPT (Elite Quiksilver Performance Technology).

Original Skateboards
With an extremely wide platform that utilizes both Concave and Camber, the Custom 35 is a great board for flatland pumping or downhill speed. Wider trucks keep it more stable, while the concave camber combination powers you through the transition, allowing you to retain more speed through each carve, and in many cases carve to maintain, or increase speed.

Locals Hawaiian Sandals
If you have ever spent any time in Hawaii (or on any island for that matter), you would know that there is an interesting culture that surrounds the local footwear. There is only one truly local way to cover your feet. Some call them flip flops or slaps or thongs, but in Hawaii, they are "slippahs".

Extreme Horizon's Key Pod
Rising up from the land of King Arthur and crumpets, Extreme Horizon has solved one problem of the common surfer. The product is the Key Pod which solves the above problem. Heartily constructed, this heavy duty storage unit is big enough to fit any key, yet small enough to covertly connect to any of your car’s firm extremities (suspension coils, towing eye).

Surf Travel Luggage
The Channel Series backpack and the Split Roller from Da Kine thread the line between function and fashion with a heavy nod towards “Utilitarian Funk.” Well, that’s my term, but I feel it’s an apt description since the ample compartments, zippers, and pouches cater to a surfer’s real needs while the snazzy patterns and designs on their sturdy skin scream style and fun to everyone in the room.

Waveshoppe Aloha Surf Shirts
After spending a good portion of my life living and working in Hawaii, I always look back at the casual style and Aloha attitude with a smile. There is not another state in America where an untucked flower shirt and slippers are considered accepted work attire. That's why I was excited when I received a handmade Aloha shirt from Wave Shoppe, a grassroots operation out of San Diego, California.

Pulse Tide Charts
The NEW Pulse Stick On Tide Chart is a device that allows you to calculate tidal times for places anywhere in the world for an entire year form January through December. You can even calculate places where tidal data has never been collected.

Optic Nerve Sunglasses
Optic Nerve sunglasses are high-quality, affordable, and stylish. Being a surfer suffering from pterygiums, I take my eyewear seriously, so I have reviewed the loanshark model. Check out how they rank.

The Mystic
Bill Ballard's newest surf video captures Kelly Slater, Mick Fanning, Pancho Sullivan and other magical surfers blowing up in big waves in Hawaii and around the world.

Suit Juice
Suite Juice is a wetsuit lubricant for competetive and recreational surfers. Here is a review of that product written by Jay DiMartino who has written many articles surf technique, competition, and culture for About.com.
