Come buy your skate shoes at America's finest retailer!
Our surf/skate/snow world is just the craziest, no? One minute Quiksilver stock is trading at 0.60 American cents and the next thing Target is set to buy DC which is owned by Quiksilver! The shoe company that used to swathe Dane Reynolds’ glorious feet as well as Andy Irons and Nyjah Huston. Who’s Nyjah? Only the world’s most boring/winning skateboarder! So boring!
The rumor is, of course, totally unsubstantiated but also like Kelly Slater buying Firewire probably totally maybe true! Maybe!
In any case, the sale could spring Quik from the depths of 0.60 American cents despond and relaunch happy times for the brand we all love. It could also be good for Target because whatever they touch turns to gold. Can you say hello Brother Andino? And Nyjah? Who cares! So boring! So painfully boring that I’m happy he don’t surf!
Stay tuned here, as always, for the stories so unsubstantiated that no one else will publish but so true that no one else will also publish.

Black Mischief… Thats what happens when a company stops taking risk.
Anyone see the parallels between Airwalk and DC here? Remember when Airwalk were the must-have shoe? Wait, I’m thirty…
At least this gives Target a better excuse to have a North Shore House..
Judging by a sequence of 25ths and 13ths Kolohe is pretty boring as well
Adriano’s the worlds most exciting surfer, is he?
More exciting than chicken little’s check turns
I’m stealing that.
I’ve thought about this, and no – not more exciting than Chicken Little.
Well, at least I made you think. Adriano sticks to the face more for sure. But when he used to do airs his surfing was more exciting imho.
Have you seen the “Brother” video? Solid air work for sure.
Theres one air which they showed about 10 times, the rest were forgettable, average at best. Unspectacular is the perfect word to describe the movie
Oh Roose… No one can say that you’re easily impressed.
