Transworld Staff Reduction
It appears that the payroll at TWS has been lightened a little. One week ago Tuesday, seven people were laid off including Snowboarding Editor in Chief Jon Foster, Snowboarding Managing Editor Andy Blumberg, and Surf Managing Editor Stacie Perry.

Wing Wing's The Wahoo's Story
The University of Colorado played host to the king of action sports schmooze as Wing Lam passed on knowledge about how he and his brothers surfed and partied their way into success with Wahoo's. Which reminds me, I'm hungry.

The Irons Top Media Whores
Each year TransWorld Surf Business ranks surfers based on their coverage in American Surf Magazines. It takes awhile to get through all the info, but this thing is packed with all kind of info to see which marketing directors are doing their jobs. Oakley, Billabong, and Dragon seem to be doing pretty well.

Gator Featured in Stoked Film
Sundance has another skateboard movie packing them in this year. It is Helen Stickler's Stoked: The Rise and Fall of Gator and it's reviewed here by Dean Kuipers.

The ER/Ing Twins Blurb Off
Early reports of the Surfer/Surfing magazine publishing under the same roof mention the fact that the magazines would continue to "service different segments of the surf community". Hmm, doesn't look good so far.

You don't need two buildings if you're only doing one magazine. Do you?
