SURF + SNOWBOARD + SKATEBOARD = ????

Life as a movie. Basically the movie is about friends enjoying life, but... The funny thing is that this is not your typical action sports movie, because they took the best guys from each discipline, for example Kelly Slater who is a 9x world champion surfer, and put him on a snowboard. I guarantee that you will laugh your ass off when you see all these champions like also Tony Hawk being taken from their element and trying another sport.

Benji Weatherly (pro surfer) did a good job in making an original action sports movie.

Ultimate escape "Zopilote Surfcamp"





Feeling stressed, low energy, depressed? If so, then you need to recharge your battery and escape. This would be my number one option. Ok ok it is a surfcamp, but I think this location will appeal to everyone who enjoys being in the water and hiding from your boss in an exotic location.


Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica.

And the winner for best online shop is...




OKI-NI. everything that you find in this online shop is good enough to make it on to this blog. Either the item is from a brand you've never heard of, limited edition or simply impossible to find in your local shops. Check it out for yourself.

Credit crunch? "Gap 1969 jeans"























Gap relaunched 1969, its "premium" denim line, as a basics offering—a smart move, given that basics are what the brand has always done best. A five-pocket pair was minimally adorned: no logos to mention, silver rivets, with a single blue rivet on the coin pocket as the only branding. The revelation was the material itself, a medium-weight raw denim with a white selvage edge, and the fits, which have been updated with more contemporary shapes. (The pair above is called the Skinny, though it bears noting that Gap skinny and Cheap Monday skinny are two different things entirely.) So how much do they cost? Get this: Less than $60.

Men's dress code for summer.


1) Your UNDERWEAR should only be seen in the changing room or in bed. Tuck it away, buy a belt.

2) Rush out to buy a DENIM SHIRT, there won't be enough to go round.

3) It's bye-bye to white SOCKS and good riddance!

4) Prudes (if there are any left) will rankle, but flesh-exposing SANDALS are in. To avoid making a stink: wash your paws, cut your nails, pumice stone your soles! Go Greek and Roman Empire. Brad Pitt in Troy and Russel Crowe in Gladiator were ahead of the trend.

5) Go easy on the tan. "LESS IS MORE" is just as true for the skin. Sunbathe in peace, steer clear of the big burn.

6) SHORTS will be short. Very short. Don't do baggy.

7) The message from the collections is make it LOOSE-FITTING. Let the wind ruffle through trousers, sweaters, t-shirts etc.

8) Yes, nurses are fantasy material but that's no reason to play doctor. White tunics, white linen trousers and spotless white flip-flops are perfect for an Alpine clinic, but they're a DEFINITE NO NO for a stroll around town.

Wet dream "Porsche 356 speedster"


Ferrari's and Lambo's are for people with bad taste. If you want to show a little class (and have a lot of money), then you ride a Porsche 356 Speedster. Most stylish car ever build.

Nice Scandinavian brand "Whyred"



I think everybody has woken up to the fact that not only beautiful people and vikings come from Sweden, but they also have a sixth sense for fashion. They've blessed us with brands like Acne and Filippa-k, but there's more where that came from.

Check out Swedish brand Whyred men's and women's collections. Whyred has been around for a while now, but is really breaking through outside Sweden at the moment.

Rob a bank! "vintage Rolex Explorer II"





I already own a good watch (Bell&Ross), but if you're looking for yours, this is a real contender. Especially for you collectors. But first you need to buy yourself a ski-mask, because you will have to rob a bank for this one.

This is the vintage Rolex Explorer II, Also known as the Steve McQueen Rolex. I did some research on the matter and It is not really known why it is named after the actor as he never wore one in his movies. In all the movies he appeared in, he wore a
Rolex Submariner with date, as for example in the movie: The Hunter released in 1980. It is believed that Steve wore this Rolex Explorer II off set in his spare time and that it's called the Steve McQueen Rolex because of that.

I came across this watch because someone I know wears one. He told me that he bought it for his son to wear when he is old enough, but we all know that this is a made up story to justify the amount of money that he spent to get this collectors item.

Very very cool watch!
