Evan Doherty, 9, is youngest skateboarder to conquer MegaRamp

Evan Doherty, who turned 9 earlier this month, issued as bold statement to the skateboarding universe on Friday, when he became the youngest person to complete a run on the MegaRamp, a contraption so large and daunting that many veteran skaters have refused to give it a try because of injury concerns.

Bali Surf Gear hooded rashguards

SURFING WITH A HAT SUCKS! But so does getting out of the water because you're sunburned... and skin cancer REALLY sucks. This hoodie is the ultimate solution. Pull it on while you're paddling out or waiting for a set. Then when you're ready to catch a wave, simply flip it back, and the hoodie lays on your back like it's not even there. Big wave tested at ULUWATU, G-LAND, PIPELINE and beyond, our hoodie is guaranteed not to parachute on wipeouts and duckdives, thanks to our Patent Pending waterflo system. "Made In The USA" using the highest quality manufacturing and materials featuring a special high UV white Lycra which won't turn translucent when wet, this hooded rashguard is still way CHEAPER than the cost of a typical RASHIE PLUS A SURF HAT. A Bali Surf Gear hoodie will effectively cut the cost of your surf trips in half on a per-wave basis, by doubling your water time and your wave count. You'll be amazed what a relief it is to be able to duck into the shade in between waves while surfing in the tropics. Your body will thank you, like stepping into the shadow of a palm tree on the beach. GET BARRELED, NOT TOASTED! http://www.balisurfgear.com/
