The pull of fresh powder and big waves is strong. But the obstacles in our lives are often stronger.
Works. School. Cancelled flights. Bad sitcoms.
Protest exist to level the playing field. To help riders overcome their obstacles. And get on their boards. Where they belong.
We created The Protest To Get There Fund to help you ride more. Our goal is to help as many people as possible to get unstuck from their obstacles and back to living their dreams.
It’s easy.
First: Tell us about your biggest and most annoying obstacle that’s standing between you and your board.
Next: Tell us your idea for overcoming this obstacle and making it back to where you belong. Do this by submitting a video or photo along with a short written description explaining your idea.
Last: If we dig your idea, we’ll do whatever it takes to help you do it. ‘Whatever it takes’ can be anything from helping you build the world’s longest grind to giving you some cold hard cash to buy a plane ticket to your dream spot.
Remember: We’re looking for the most original, creative and completely bizarre ideas for snow, surf and wake.
The first winner will be announced in January 2010. New winners will be announced each following month until the end of time.
Stay tuned and see you out there.
The fine print: Keep in mind that you compete at your own risk. Protest cannot be held responsible for any damages, injuries, losses or other harm that you may endure on your quest to ride more. We can, however, be held completely responsible for the amazing time you’re going to have on your board.

Beautiful Losers, the documentary hit of the year is out now on DVD and we have 5 copies to giveaway.
The sometimes whimsical yet often poignant film explores the relationship between art, youth and friendship as time drifts several artists in different directions away from their shared beginnings as upstarts on the NY art scene.
The ethos that connected the artists of the renegade DIY movement, is still upheld by those with anti establishment ideals, who combine their passion for edgy sports or cool scrawl art in their current projects. There are however members of the influential movement who used their notoriety as a means to expand on their work independently, moving into a more commercial based world.
The documentary binds the ties that united the group of lost souls and examines how their shared history shaped their futures apart. As creative as the film’s subjects, Aaron Rose has directed a smooth and innovative film that inspires all who see it.
To win a copy answer the question below. To find out more about the film click here.

If you’re a budding photographer you simply have to enter this once in a lifetime competition. Your camera will never forgive you if you don’t (nor will your best friend!)
Our good pals at Emu have come over all generous and agreed to send one lucky reader and friend to Australia to experience the ultimate road trip, and capture the trip as a photo story in Cooler. Amazing. All you have to do is send in the best travel photograph you’ve ever taken to . The winner, as chosen by surf photographer and regular Cooler contributor, Lucia Griggi, will be announced in Issue 17 of Cooler (on sale January 24 2009).
This amazing prize includes two return flights to Melbourne (to be taken February–March 09) and spending money of £1,000. Woo hoo! The winners will travel to Geelong, home of Emu, to pick up a pair of complementary Emu boots each, before heading to Bells Beach to begin their road trip. The photo story of their trip will appear in a future issue of Cooler. The runner up will win a pair of Emu boots.
Competition judge Lucia Griggi gives us her five top tips for shooting a road trip:
1. Get a cool, fun team together for the road trip.
2. Be spontaneous and don’t plan too much! Stay open to the opportunities the open road brings you, as locals may suggest places, which aren’t in your original plan or in travel guide books.
3. Think about the type of results you’re looking for – vintage bleached out shots, vivid nature shots, action shots and so on. Practice with your camera before the trip until the technical stuff comes as second nature. Also think about the time of day you’re shooting. But as mentioned before being spontaneous will also bring happy accidents and surprises.
4. If shooting on digital ALWAYS back up your images everyday, especially if you’re in remote areas. Remember to look after your kit at all times, as expensive gear can go walkies when travelling!
5. Most importantly Terms and conditions smile and have FUN!

The Wackness is a new film by Jonathan Levine, which recently scooped the 2008 Sundance Film Festival Audience Award.
Set in New York City in 1994, the film focuses on a city pulsing with hip hop. Much like the city, Luke (Josh Peck) and Dr. Squires (Sir Ben Kingsley) are at a crossroads: Luke considers himself semi-suicidal, bemoaning his high school social status and the fact that his family is on the verge of eviction; Dr. Squires and his rehab-addicted wife (Famke Janssen) can barely tolerate each other.

The third Nissan Adventure Film Festival sponsored by Helly Hansen will be taking place between 15-23 September at Vue Cinemas around the country. Showcasing the very best feature-length films over five themed evenings, the festival will take arm-chair adventurers on a journey from the heights of Mount Everest to the shark-infested waters off the coast of South Africa.
The festival - the largest adventure film festival in the world - will feature five themed evenings at Vue digital cinema sites nationwide as follows:
Monday 15 September: Environmental Adventure
Tuesday 16 September: Ocean Adventure
Wednesday 17 September: Survival Adventure
Monday 22 September: High Altitude Adventure
Tuesday 23 September: Winter Adventure
This year sees the introduction of a night dedicated to Environmental Adventure, demonstrating that adventurers can achieve the big thrill with a conscience. Featured films include ‘Red Gold’, a David and Goliath story of one man’s battle against a mining corporation in Alaska; ‘Oil + Water’, an epic 21,000 mile journey from Alaska to Argentina by a truck run on natural vegetable oil; and ‘Beyond the Horizon’ documenting 2006 National Geographic Adventurer of the Year Colin Angus’ record breaking round-the-world trip – the first ever made entirely under human power.
Other highlights include the world premiere of an episode of Discovery Channel’s ‘Deadliest Catch’ (Tuesday 16th, Ocean Adventure); ‘Stranded – the Andes Plane Crash Survivors’, a haunting movie telling the story of the 1972 plane crash through the words of the survivors themselves, as made famous by the film ‘Alive’ (Wednesday 17th, Survival Adventure) and ‘Sharkman’, following South African Mike Rutzen’s quest to overcome the negative perception of great white sharks by putting them into a state of ‘tonic immobility’, or hypnotic trance (Tuesday 16th, Ocean Adventure).
Films start at 6.30pm each evening and tickets can be purchased from the event website. Or you can win a pair of tickets to your choice of screening by entering our comp!
We have two pairs of tickets to each evening to give away! To be in with a chance to win, simply at what age did World Champ downhill rider Sabrina Jonnier start racing BMX?
Please make sure you include your name, full postal address, which night you would like to attend and which is your closest Vue cinema (check the list here).

The mood has lightened over at Amplified. The dark skulls, snakes and heavy rock bands have been replaced by brighter graphics in bold and bright colours for the Spring/Summer collection.
Amplified has come over a bit disco with its Studio 54 range of designs that play homage to the legendary 70s nightclub. ‘Super Dance’ slogans blaze across the front of t-shirts in bright rainbow colours. Even their iconic Run DMC and Beastie Boy t-shirts have been given the ‘fight-in-a-paint-factory’ treatment.
The new collection sees the use of designs on bold block colours of red, blue, aqua, lemon and a whole range of psychedelic colours. Music is the absolute inspiration behind Amplified - from the Rolling Stones, the Clash, ACDC and the Happy Mondays, and summer 2008 sees a collection inspired by their passion for 80s New York Disco.
Born in 2004, Amplified has evolved into one of the hottest street labels around - the Rolling Stones licks tee remains their iconic shirt, although the brand now boasts a complement of headwear, accessories, jackets and footwear too.
To celebrate the new summer collection, Amplified are giving us two prize parcels worth £75 each to give away! To be in with a chance to win, simply answer the question below. Find a CLUE here!

Win a snug pair of Emu Stinger Hi boots!
Emu boots have been keeping stylish Australian surfers warm for decades. Based in the wool capital of Australia, Geelong, just minutes from Bells Beach, the very first hand-made Emu sheepskin boots were worn by surfers to keep their toes warm after winter surf sessions along this famous stretch of the Great Ocean Road. With over three decades of experience of producing the ultimate sheepskin boot, Emu is still worn by core surfers worldwide, as well as Hollywood starlets like Cameron Diaz.
Those kind folks at Emu have given us two pairs of their Stinger Hi boots to give away. The Stinger Hi is made from 100% Australian premium snug sheepskin with a reinforced leather heel for extra fit and support as well as a durable moulded sole with sturdy tread for extra traction.
