The BC Surf & Sport Blog: Surf, Skate, Snow

You know all the superstition that comes on Friday the 13th?, don’t walk under a latter, making sure to avoid black cats and anybody donning a hockey mask wielding a machete, and if you watch the  “Kardasians” your eyes will fall out. Well have no fear, because on Friday the 18th, the only superstitions you will need to follow is to not “look Matt French, directly in the eyes”.

That’s right, this Friday, May 18th BC Seattle will be hosting their 3rd Friday Art Walk! The event kicks off at 5pm and will display rad-tastic pieces from Lib and GNU artists, Ryan Davis, Matt French, and Timothy Karpinski.

And that’s just half the fun and excitement. The Art Walk is just the 1st quarter fun. All weekend long, BC Seattle will be having their grand opening celebration, full of fun, food, sunshine (maybe),  and hi-fives from the whole BC crew.  The grand opening will be nice on the eyes as well as the wallet, with savings up to 40% off,  you’d think your eyes were playing tricks on you when the receipt comes.

So come down to BC Seattle (4514 University Way NE) this Friday, May 18th for a weekend full of  Art, Hi-Fives, and savings galore!

John John Wins!!
Amazing!!! It was an amazing finals at the Billabong Rio Pro with John John Florence battling against the legend Joel Parkinson. John John started off the heat with a crazy air and quickly followed with a second killer wave putting him far in the lead. But of course you can’t count Joel out as he took the next couple waves putting him right back in the game. But it just wasn’t enough take John John out.
He wins with a 16.37 and takes his first ever WCT championship!!
STOKED! Great job John John!

The Big Top, The Desk Top, the Mountain Top, Carrot Top, all these things dwarf in comparison to the 3rd lairs “Top Shop”. The annual shop competition, that houses the most beastly and talented shop skaters the U.S. has to offer, and pits them against each other in a skate battle royale. It is the Top Shops 10th year anniversary and the BC skate team is there to celebrate it and annihilate it . This year many shop kids came, but few succeeded; the competition welcomed 20 teams but at the end of the second day (May 5th) only 8 teams survived, and standing in the 5th bracket is yours truly..team BC!

Here is a quote from BC‘s team manager Matt Reeves, giving us a recap and highlights of team BC’s second day.

“We made it to the finals. We came in 5th overall out of 20 teams. Tyson Browerbank came in 4th overall. All the guys had to do a solo one minute run today which was worth 1/3 of their total score and a 5 minute jam which included 4 riders from other teams which was worth the 2/3rd’s. Only 8 teams make in to the finals and with us being the 5th seed. Tomorrow morning we go head to head against the 4th seed. Wish us luck!”

Inspired by the always strut-supporting “waffle” sole that is the bench mark of the brand, Vans has become the latest trend-setter in the Lucrative(-less) iPhone case market. Seemingly conceived as if a spontaneous afterthought, the end result is anything but and more like a “Why didn’t we think of this sooner?”

From its release in January, the Vans iPhone case quickly became a phenomena equipped with a disappearing mechanism. Initially selling out at a pace light speed would have to respect, it has been restocked as of this month. Widely considered the best, most unique iPhone case on the market to date, it would come as no surprise if it sold out again – and soon.

And that’s where it gets ridiculous.

Ebay had bids on the Vans Waffle Sole case at $83.00 when it first successfully vanished from public proof of purchase and are currently steady at an overinflated $129.00! That said one would have to consider making a laser-guided dash to get their hands on one as soon as possible. So set your coordinates no further than BC Surf and Sport and bcsurf.com. Stocked, “reasonably priced,” and ready to fly…do the honorable thing…STAT!
