Kahuna Creations plans to debuts a new, creative label of longboard skateboards at Surf Expo, September 16-18, 2005 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.

The company will introduce its new line, which includes a “high end” line of solid wood longboards constructed of solid Maple, Mahogany and Tananoa wood stringers with shapes that try to recapture the feel of “old-school surfing culture”. In addition, the “Fun Board Fish” line will be announced, which reflects a “retro fish surf influence in a line of 6 longboard shapes that feature strong, bold colors” and is priced for the “mid-range market”.

I came across this wicked longboard photography set which was posted at Longskate Blog. The photographer goes by the name of Kyle Mix. Here is my favourite photo, I’m not sure if its an advertisement for Abec 11 Gumballs or not, but its hot! You can check out some other nice Tony Alva photos here

Ok so most of you might think this is a bit off topic. And yes it is..kind of. However I know there are quite a few fellow Longboard/Skateboard bloggers out there who are wanting to grow, monetize and promote their sites. Well PayPerPost is one of the top earners for bloggers, and today I just heard that they will be announcing some big news in the next few weeks… Now I’m just have a few wild guesses here but..

1) I think they may be introducing a program for video bloggers or anything to do with video ads.
2) It would be good if they hired writers to write post for bloggers…I wonder if they thought of that one!
3) Maybe they are now introducing pre-made posts?
4) Or…they could be branching out from blogs and moving on to dealing with articles on websites…oh thats big news!
5) I nearly forgot this one..forums…PayPerPost on forums, it could go off. It’s simple and is really an untapped area for monetization!

But of course my main interest is that PayPerPost will come up with an idea to make us Longboard/Skateboard bloggers a bit more money! Longboard sites like “Longboard Directory” and the French Longskate blog should surely have a look at this. Actually anyone there who wants to increase site traffic, should seriously take a look at PayPerPost.

I’ve created a new longboard store, it’s a bit different then your usual store. This store is dedicated to selling longboard wheels, trucks and decks.. however! We are getting these products through ebay, so you able to buy your gear for wholesale prices or lower! We have both new products and second hand products. At the moment we are supplying products like Abec 11 Gumball 77mm, Randall Trucks and Sector 9 Longboard Decks. More products will be in very soon! Check it out now! www.Skurboards.com/Store
