Week A of Camp of Champions has wrapped up. Cal Surf team rider and local ripper Viktor Simco were there shredding check out a video edit here.
MR Fronius getting some ender footy at the Windells Session 2. check it.
Cal Surf, Familia and 3rd Lair teamed up this year to present the 10th annual OUT Championship at the Herkimer Bar and Brew Pub in Uptown. This is the 1st year the event was moved away from the skatepark. It coincided with the 1st Open Streets event, which closed Lyndale Ave to motorized traffic, so there was a ton of people out on bikes, skateboards, doing yoga in the streets, walking on stilts, etc. taking advantage of the closed major throughway into downtown. This led to a large, captive group of people taking in the fun flatland event.
The original bracket of 64 was narrowed down to the final 2 of CJ Tambornino and Rob Warren, both previous winners of this event. CJ made a straight sweep of the best 2 out of 3 finals. My personal highlights, other than CJ's tech wizardry, were watching Joe Sexton make the final 8 and catching our new team rider Matt Ohman making it into the semifinals. What started as a brisk overcast morning ended with a great event on a beautiful sunny afternoon. Thanks to everybody that attended.

Starting June 10th we will be offering FREE Cons grip tape with the purchase of a skateboard deck on Fridays. So come in any Friday and get FREE grip with a deck purchase while supplies last.
Last Saturday some dudes from Emerica stopped by the shop to hang, sign some autographs, and grill up some hot dogs with us. These dudes weren't just your regular old skate dudes though they were Jerry Hsu, Heath Kirchart and Leo Romero.
They got to the shop right on time and to a packed house. There wasn't much time for Hsu, Kirchart and Romero to line up before they were mobbed by the eager autograph seeking kids.
After wards we walked to Lake Calhoun to try our luck at grilling up some hot dogs. Even though the wind wasnt doing us any favors we were able to get some dogs and brats grilled up, thanks to Jerry's quick thinking and fearless use of lighter fluid.
DC Skateboarding invited Cal Surf, along with 29 other skate shops to compete in a contest to create the best 'wear test' video for Chris Cole's first signature shoe on DC.
Matt Ohman, our newest team rider, gives his review on the 'Chris Cole S' after skating them for a day in downtown Minneapolis.
if you havent seen this yet, watch it. holy crazy.
Cal Surf will be hosting the Heartbeat of Emerica tour at the shop Saturday, June 4 at 3:00. Heath Kirchart, Jerry Hsu and Skater of the Year, Leo Romero, will be chillin at the shop. After the meet and greet, we are going to head out and BBQ, most likely at Thomas Beach on Lake Calhoun. It is anybody's guess from there. 1st 50 people in attendance will receive a pair of Emerica sunglasses and we will be offering 10% off Emerica gear all day.
We will be releasing the Nike SB Koston 1 on Saturday June 4th at 11 AM. Swing on by to snag a pair. and make sure to read Fink's product review and Launch Event recap here.
