Great prizes from Etnies, RVCA, Main Street shop, Exile, and of course we gave out decks again this year. Prizes were giving out to the top 3 places in each division.

See the coverage from the City of Laguna Beach did, great to see the city actually paying attention to the skim community, it’s about time the place where skim-boarding was born gets support from the city.

For all the details about the next two stops check out the official Green Eggs & AM Facebook page.

See everyone at the 2nd spot West Street March, 12th.

TerraRisers x TED x Great Pacific Garbage Patch : Wallace J Nichols

Wanted to share a TED conference video dedicated to bringing awareness to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, a massive area in the Pacific Ocean that’s overrun with millions of pounds of Plastic Pollution (trash from all of us basically).

The video I’m sharing is from one of the featured Scientist Dr. Wallace. J. Nichols sharing his points on the problem and to some practical solutions. This segment is geared towards manufacturing & specifically to manufacturers. Our TerraRisers riser pads were featured at the conference as how we all can Rethink what we make.

If you have the time watch as many as you can, you’ll be well informed about the ongoing plastic pollution problem.

See our TerraRisers video in the Manufacturers section of the TED event (9 min in)
