Back in a time known as the 1990s, when surf movies came on VHS and you could "rent" them from the not-chain-surf-shop your friends worked at, surf movies were actually good. They did crazy shit. Tony Roberts started with his groundbreaking videos from Santa Cruz. Josh Pomer just launched The Kill series. (He's on TK8 now.) Taylor Steele was pumping out The Show. And Jesse Schluntz was in SoCal producing his infamous surf-horror films TearDevils.

The three films Jesse created were made of metal, punk rock, chugging gallons of milk until pukage, weird guys in robes zapping surfers with lightning, a Braveheart parody (Waveheart), a cameo by Ozzy, and a lot of hot ladys in the sand. It was great.

Now the guys are bringing it back for one night only, with a special film screening and performance by San Diego rock band Thieves & Liars. Here's an idea of what's goin on:

Somehow the guys at Volcom have managed to lose their 50 foot inflatable balloon they were flying over the US Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach last weekend. The thing just kept flying. The good news if the Volcom Stone balloon lands on or near you they will give you $250 and a box of Volcom gear. They want the balloon back though. We say hold out for more. Tell 'em you'll give it back if Bruce calls and asks.
