In this rad little clip, DGK brainstorms with collaborator Eric Bailey in his Oakland studio. He talks through his early inspirations, fine art and graphics, different collaborations, old and new board series he has worked on for DGK. If, like me, you love everything about the streets of SF then you’ll find it impossible not to enjoy his artworks and the story and lifestyle that influences it. Do yourself a favour and check out Eric’s website and blog birdsandbullets.com BRAINSTORM – ERIC BAILEY – ART from KAYOTV on Vimeo.

Dakine gave a few bags to some Cub Scouts and some Incas and told them to bang out their latest range… Well, not quite. Actually not at all. In fact, this limited edition range of bags has nothing to do with Scouts or Incas, except some slight resemblances and a product name. This double header of limited edition product are being done in runs of 250 and are made up of include a Vault Pack, a Command Duffle, Capital 23L and the Mission 25L backpack. It’d be epic to see these make their way to Aus, but it seems highly unlikely that we’ll see them on our shores. If you want one, we strongly urge you to get trawling online. Photos: Boardistan

The Knoxville shade by Electric sure must be a popular seller if it’s undergoing another revamp. First came the original. Then a year or two later, they fed it some chicken and protein and released the XL and now they’re about to drop the Union which is like  original, but it’s just been under the knife for a bit of a nip and tuck. Basically, it’s the same size as the original, but the bottom of the frame now comes with a wire outline instead of the original “Grilamid” frame. Here’s the spiel Electric are using to sell it: “A wire rim lens topped by the sharp details of the Knoxville frame create a perfect union of form, function, and style resulting in a balanced design that is clearly ahead of its time. Italian craftsmanship and polarized lens options add substance to the unquestionable appeal of this new modern classic.” They’re online now.

Reef RSVR. Promised this earlier. The RSVR collection from Reef, it’s clean, it’s simple and it’s real nice. I haven’t seen any of the apparel, I’m pretty sure there is some tho… But this is about the shoes you see above, which aren’t available until July’ish… Look at the photos, they have more info on them then I can remember. Something for the clean toe guy and something for the Mocassin toe guy, I’d go clean toe guy – more timeless…
