Arkitip 47: Tommy Guerrero

The July 2008 issue of Arkitip is dedicated to Tommy Guerrero.
The 47th edition will come with a new 7” recording by Tommy. That in itself is worth searching and getting yourself a copy. Remember the June 2000 Fotraque 7” gem…

In4mation Opens Aloha Army Surf Shop

Todd Shimabuku, co-owner of In4mation informed me last week that they were set to unleash their press release for the Aloha Army Surf Shop in Waikiki. Today, the news dropped and we’re so stoked to welcome this addition to the Hawaiian islands and surfing in general.

So proud, Todd! Cheee Hu!

Aloha Army will take over In4mation’s storefront on Lewers Street.

Equal Dist. in Shanghai, China

M. Morgan, Tim Sedo, and Matt Irving asked Equal Dist. @ 3131 along with a list of artists and other skateboard-related folks to participate in this years, “3 Stripe Skate Hype”, in Shanghai, China. The event will host a skate contest for both AM and PRO.
During this 4 day event (July 19-22), they’ve scheduled an artshow with an invitation to Andrew Pommier, Matt Irving, Sandro Grison (Color Magazine), Fan, Kirk Dianda, Benjamin Deberdt, Ray (RayDesign), Allister Lee (Alist), Fos, FLY/Gift, and Hessenmob Skateboards, courtesy of Equal Dist. at 3131 Clement. Check the link above for complete artist information.
Equal Dist. will be showing a select mix of decks from Hessenmob’s collaborative history along with original artwork from past and current Hessenmob alumni. Original pieces from Don Pendleton, Ian Johnson, and Mark Gonzales will accompany the decks. Matt Irving designed the Hessenmob obstacle featured in the contest and demo. In addition, the wall will host the photography of Hessenmob Skateboards co-founder, Christian Roth, accompanied by photography by Isaac McKay-Randozzi and Yong-Ki Chang.

Mahalo’s to everyone involved with this event as the logistics and transportation on this has been amazing!

Heroes Of Our Time

Rob Longworth, creative director of Huck Magazine sent this our way today from London.
We found a nice write-up about Tommy Guerrero under, “Heroes of Our Time” as this is their “Legends” issue, so we photographed the magazine and posted-it.

Thanks goes out to Rob for thinking of us!
