Huntington Beach was packed with bikinis, boarders, and body paint as the youth reigned and raged over the sunny and serene sand. The best of both boards were well represented by brand ambassadors on land and water, with live performances by TV on the Radio and Toro y Moi only adding to the energy of the sport spectacular.<\/p>\n Attendees swarming the beach\n Robbie Russo at Converse Coastal Carnage 2012\n<p>While the people-flooded beach embodied the carefree attitude of the summer, it was the sea blue bowl where both athletes and attendees became most focused and collected. As palm trees swayed and music blared, all eyes were glued on the skating stars. From rising two-sport standout Kalani David to seasoned vet Rune Glifberg, Team Converse participated as a great host in every implication. Of the Chevron?s star-studded roster, 2011 Coastal Carnage champ Tom Remillard was among four Chuck descendants to place in the top 15. Signature skater Nick Trapasso was on hand, and also on foot, as much of the field went to work in his recently released <strong>Trapasso II Ox<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Converse Trapasso II Ox\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n Converse Coastal Carnage 2012 Champion Ben Raybourn\n<p>The jam style tournament saw faces old and new compete for the king of the beach honors. 19-year-old Ben Raybourn was average in age but best on board, ripping his way to the $20,000 top prize. His revert combinations and 540 variations were enough to wow the crowd and the judges, though it was Aaron ?Jaws? Homoki who won best trick for his kickflip melon grab to tail on the shark, a $3,000 land. Even with all the money on the line and the younger generation scoring most of the pot, the field was far from catty as boards smacked and fists pounded in appreciation of their peer?s performance. Living legends Eric Koston, Kenny Anderson, and Lance Mountain competed with and cheered on the young crop; fetching out of bounds boards and dapping it up with the generation they inspired. Such sentiment further proved that skateboarding isn&#8217;t just a sport, it&#8217;s a lifestyle.<\/p>\n Rune Glifberg, Eric Koston and more observe action in the bowl\n 2012 Nike US Open of Surfing &amp; Converse Coastal Carnage\n<p>Both waves and crowds were surfed over the weekend in Huntington Beach, but the skateboard scene appears to be the rising tide in the summer spectacular. On a surface level, the dull tones and ripped uppers sported on both board and beach footwear appear to be a far departure from the basketball-born and city-seasoned sneaker culture. But after watching just one ride, it?s clear that the same qualities that drive the skateboarding lifestyle also steer the sneaker culture&#8211; style, self-expression, and respect for the OGs.<\/p>\n<p><object id=\"flashObj\" width=\"620\" height=\"383\" classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\" bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\"><param name=\"flashVars\" value=\"@videoPlayer=1772628050001&amp;playerID=102195568001&amp;playerKey=AQ~~,AAAADEr4seE~,V_LTfTD3rYiS7fqhrEPtj75BFpGh1Ya6&amp;domain=embed&amp;dynamicStreaming=true\" \/><param name=\"base\" value=\"http:\/\/admin.brightcove.com\" \/><param name=\"seamlesstabbing\" value=\"false\" \/><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"swLiveConnect\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/c.brightcove.com\/services\/viewer\/federated_f9?isVid=1&amp;isUI=1\" \/><param name=\"flashvars\" value=\"@videoPlayer=1772628050001&amp;playerID=102195568001&amp;playerKey=AQ~~,AAAADEr4seE~,V_LTfTD3rYiS7fqhrEPtj75BFpGh1Ya6&amp;domain=embed&amp;dynamicStreaming=true\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"swliveconnect\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"pluginspage\" value=\"http:\/\/www.macromedia.com\/shockwave\/download\/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash\" \/><embed id=\"flashObj\" width=\"620\" height=\"383\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"http:\/\/c.brightcove.com\/services\/viewer\/federated_f9?isVid=1&amp;isUI=1\" flashVars=\"@videoPlayer=1772628050001&amp;playerID=102195568001&amp;playerKey=AQ~~,AAAADEr4seE~,V_LTfTD3rYiS7fqhrEPtj75BFpGh1Ya6&amp;domain=embed&amp;dynamicStreaming=true\" base=\"http:\/\/admin.brightcove.com\" seamlesstabbing=\"false\" allowFullScreen=\"true\" swLiveConnect=\"true\" allowScriptAccess=\"always\" flashvars=\"@videoPlayer=1772628050001&amp;playerID=102195568001&amp;playerKey=AQ~~,AAAADEr4seE~,V_LTfTD3rYiS7fqhrEPtj75BFpGh1Ya6&amp;domain=embed&amp;dynamicStreaming=true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" swliveconnect=\"true\" pluginspage=\"http:\/\/www.macromedia.com\/shockwave\/download\/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash\" bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\" \/><\/object><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n 2011 Coastal Carnage champ and Converse Brand Ambassador Tom Remillard in action\n Jam session under way\n Riders chilling bowl side between jams\n Signature stamp on the Converse Trapasso II Ox\n Scene outside of the skateboarding arena\n Until next year\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recap of the Huntington Beach skate spectacular<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2415,"featured_media":227938,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1225464,41],"tags":[1225465,1225492],"cultivate_rss":[],"class_list":{"2":"type-post"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.0 (Yoast SEO v24.0) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Converse Coastal Carnage 2012 Event Recap | Snkrs Day<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Where to buy Converse Coastal Carnage 2012 Event Recap shoes.
