Even Mother Nature couldn’t stop Mother Hastings from going mental this weekend. Congratulations to Alex Sorgente for taking home 1st place and to Dalton Dern for conquering the infamous Hastings transfer.

Canadian tuxedos in full effect. Don't bring sand to Hastings Beach... Qualifications begin!

Broken boards equals broken dreams. Chris Russell had it in the bag but one too many hang-ups enabled Tom Schaar to spin his way to the top. Meanwhile, Pedro Barros stole the show with a death defying NBD. 10 years of the Pool Party and this was the best one yet! Cheers, Vans!

Some guys just have it like that. Josh skates everything here, but his speed and buttery smooth style are best showcased when he attacks transitions. Long live backyard ramps!

Josh attempts to take the plunge and thread the needle, but all he gets is carcass on concrete. 

Josh has a timeless style and he's developed a reputation for full-speed skating and classic tricks. He's a perfect fit for Santa Cruz and we're really looking forward to this one. Premieres here on Monday.

So many ways to get completely annihilated on this one. Josh lives to tell.

A heavy crew assembled at Omar Hassan's backyard bowl to surprise Josh Borden on Saturday.
