Skateboarding street goat Nyjah Huston is launching a new “personal care” line of products called Out There, according to a story on NewBeauty.com.
The aluminum-free lineup is powered by odor-eating probiotic enzymes for up to 48 hours of protection and formulated without parabens, phthalates, sulfates, dyes or aerosols. Debuting products include Clean Body Deo Spray, Clean Body Def Spray and Hydrating Body Wash, all offered in gender-neutral scents like Japanese Shiso, Tonka Amber, Bergamot Wood and Santal Vetiver. With vegan, cruelty-free formulas and recyclable packaging, Huston’s latest venture is built on a simple idea: When you feel good in your body, you’re more likely to get outside and live fully.
It appears that former Canadian Olympic snowboarder Ryan Wedding’s run from the law has finally come to an end as shifty-eyed FBI director Kash Patel has officially announced the alleged drug kingpin’s capture in Mexico, according to a story in the New York Post.
Wedding was taken into custody Thursday night in Mexico — where he was believed to be hiding out for more than a decade evading authorities seeking to bring him to justice for running his violent drug empire, officials said. . . “To tell you how bad of a guy Ryan Wedding is, he went from an Olympic snowboarder to the largest narco traffickers in modern times,” Patel told reporters at the Ontario International Airport in California, flanked by US and Canadian law enforcement officials.
Will be interesting to see how this all plays out. Seems the current administration is more interested in theater than true justice. Click the link for more details.
Surf appears to be taking another turn on the catwalk as Louie Vuitton creative director Pharrell decides it’s time to head back to the beach, according to a story on Luxury Launches.
After nailing the luxury segment for luggage, handbags, apparel, and accessories, Louis Vuitton is now giving the world a teaser of surf gear. There is no official launch or over-the-top declaration yet, but the 150-year-old maison may already be the reason your surf fins suddenly look sassy. The glorification of the surf kit continues with a wetsuit that features LV embroidery.
Two words come to mind in no particular order: shark and jump. Then again, that Louie fin would be fire on the Catch Surf. . . .
If you haven’t been paying attention, 2026 is a Winter Olympics year. Not really sure where, but we’re sure GROK knows (ah ha, turns out they are in Cortina, Italy, February 6-22, 2026).
Yesterday, US Ski and Snowboard announced their snowboard team and, not to brag, but we’ve heard of exactly six of the 25 blessed shreds listed. The crazy part is that the US is sending two Parallel Giant Slalom racers. . . finally. Oh, and Jamie Anderson is sadly not on the list.
For the entire athlete list please follow the jump.
Sean Mortimer and Tony Hawk will discuss and sign Sean’s new book “Misfit: A Survival Guide” in Del Mar, CA tonight (January 20, 2026) sponsored by Camino Books. Craig Stecyk says this about the book:
“Misfit is loaded with unconventional wisdom rendered from genuine societal outsiders. Mortimer delivers a tome that is a highly motivational must read. Herein are revealed the specifications for unbounded revolution.”
Matt George, a guy who some will remember as an Action Now cover model with his brother Sam, is reportedly in the works to create a surf film (Bali Hai) financed in part by Blink 182’s Tom DeLonge, according to story on Deadline.
Set to shoot in Bali in Q4 2026, the film follows two estranged brothers who travel to Bali for an international surf competition, confronting long-buried wounds while immersed in one of the world’s most iconic surf destinations.
You may remember Matt from his previous surf film In God’s Hands. We’ll watch anything surf related, but it seems the whole “surf competition” thing has been done, redone, and undone. For all the details, please click the link.
Grok, the AI agent created by one of Elon Musk’s companies has been getting a lot of heat lately for creating inappropriate images. Women have complained their likenesses are being used to create explicit images that they did not consent to. Turns out, Grok can do the work of the Lord as well.
The above photo is a great example of how Grok can take images from the Roxy site (that some might find in objectionable) and, without permission from the models, transform them into quality images perfect for viewing in even the most conservative enclaves of America.
The photo on the left is the original. The photo on the right is a more proper version of young women in appropriate dress having a joyful celebration on the beach, all thanks to Grok.
Pro skater Terry Kenneday, who was convicted of “aggravated battery” in the death of 23-year-old skateboarder Josiah Kassahunhas done his time and was reportedly released on December 31, 2025 after spending three years in prison, according to a story on TMZ.
Kennedy — who competed in the X Games and Maloof Money Cup — isn’t totally free and clear … he’s still on parole until June 30, which was initially set to be his release date.
When the editors of The Snowboarder’s Journal decided to go with a pure stoke photo for the cover of their print magazine, they never imagined how far the story of Mike Yoshida’s photo would carry. . . or, maybe they did.
