A Very Skateboard Christmas 2016

Mike Lawrence — Wed, 21 Dec 2016 08:40:45 +0000

Wow! What can we say but thank you!! 2016 blew us away with the generosity and support we received. Over 100 up-cycled and new skateboards heading to Barnardos and out to children this Christmas!

Christmas is a great time of the year with lots of celebrations, time with friends and family and gifts. For a lot of New Zealand children this time can be especially hard due to their circumstances and problems with family and money. Our goal is to help in some small way to have kids have something that they can get out and explore on and experience all that skateboarding can bring.

2016 saw this grow to an even bigger scale with the help of some incredible people and their vision in wanting to go that bit further this Christmas. We want to sincerely thank all those who gave up their time, skateboards, parts and donations to help make this project happen.

Merry Christmas.

Lost Boys Collective would like to especially thank:

Barnardos New Zealand

RedBull New Zealand and all their staff!

Tim and the crew from Boardertown

Scott at Element Skateboards

Stu & Stepup Industries

Ballistics Wake and Snow

Kieran at Monster Children

Rhys and Morri at Irrom.

Merry Christmas from all the Lost Boys.

A VERY SKATEBOARD CHRISTMAS 2016

Mike Lawrence — Sat, 15 Oct 2016 20:18:52 +0000

It’s back! A Very Skateboard Christmas will once again set out to get as many underprivileged kids as possible skateboards under the tree this Christmas. Now entering our third year we are excited to make this the best year yet!! Find out more.

A Very Skateboard Christmas is about giving underprivileged kids the chance to experience skateboarding and all the fun and challenges it has to offer.

We will be collecting and accepting donations of new and good condition skateboard completes and parts from now until mid December. At that time we will build all of the parts into completes and present them to Barnardos children’s charity who will distribute them through their channels to as many kids as possible for Christmas.

If you want to contribute but don’t have skate parts you can donate within New Zealand by making a payment to:

06-0541-0446427-01

One hundred percent of all money donated will be used to purchase skateboard parts to boost the final numbers.

Stab in the Dark

Mike Lawrence — Wed, 12 Oct 2016 20:42:44 +0000

Take a Stab in the Dark. 13 surfboard shapers and one surfer to decide the winner. This year Dane Reynolds was the surfer chosen and took to the waters of South Africa to decide who came out on top. Click through to see the full feature.

Board Talk.

Mike Lawrence — Mon, 23 May 2016 23:59:44 +0000

I have to be honest. There aren’t that many people who I could sit and watch talk about boards for fifteen minutes. Dane Reynolds is an exemption and it’s interesting hearing all the subtleties of shapes discussed by someone who could surf a door better than most of us could boards.

Sitka Makers Series : Rob Pinkney

Mike Lawrence — Tue, 17 May 2016 07:57:42 +0000

Bringing forth an item from history, Rob Pinkney and Sitka created a New Zealand trade axe, or Patiti. Hand crafted in Te Awamutu using traditional methods it’s incredible to see the process take place in the current day.

Read up on the history via the Sitka site.

For Those who groom and zoom

Listing off the content of a video is kind of a lazy(quick) way of writing a caption. In the case of the below video it’s a bit more relevant in part due to what it has. Skating, yup, rad motorbikes, yup, surfing, yup, beach hangs, yup. All set to a rocknroll soundtrack. So we’re doing you a favour. With all that packed in to under two minutes we’d hate for you to miss out.

Brand New.

Mike Lawrence — Wed, 04 May 2016 08:51:13 +0000

Well isn’t this just about the perfect match up. Chippa Wilson has made a move to the Brixton Union family. With a lifestyle involving surfing, old trucks, motorbikes and a little farm handiwork this seems like the perfect pairing. Either way, let’s hope the clips just keep coming.

Blackstix

Craig Anderson shows you how he surfs with his new fins from Futures. I don’t know if these will make you surf anything like Craig but it can’t hurt for you to try right. I mean, damn, did you watch the video?

An electric connection.

Mike Lawrence — Sat, 13 Feb 2016 08:14:06 +0000

Skateboarding and music have long gone together. This time it’s in a far more literal sense. Nick Pourfard and his company Prisma Guitars create guitars (as the name would suggest) out of old and broken skateboard decks. A merging of the arts if you will, or the least a sweet guitar.
