Hayling Island’s local skate company Herbal Skateboards recently launched their new website and their brand new range of boards and tees, all look really good. All the new designs were done by Sea Docherty, a Portsmouth local. The company has also had their product stocked in more and more shops up and down the UK too, good work guys!

It’s been a while since we featured a Hayling Island edit from the guys at PhinFilms and Herbal Skateboards, no doubt due to the wintery weather and dark evenings. This new edit is the first of a series of ‘Shutdowns’, with Murray Cross shutting down the spine.
We’ve been posting up the Sam Way/Herbal Skateboards monthly edits all through 2010, always good to see what’s going on over on Hayling Island. Sam Way posted up the other day a ‘Best Of’ edit of all the best bits filmed at Hayling Island skatepark through 2010. Some amazing skating went down. Looking forward to checking the 2011 monthly edits.
That time of the month again with the new monthly video update from Herbal Skateboards and PhinFilms.
Warning: be prepared for swearing, apple pie and the lack of street spots on Hayling Island.
That time of the month again when PhinFilms and Herbal Skateboards drop their monthly skate video edit. This month includes a load of skating at Southsea skatepark and around some of Southsea’s street spots, as well as the usual Hayling skatepark footage. Good stuff as always.
This year’s King Kong skate event at Southsea Skatepark will be this Saturday 24th 12-6pm and like last year will be too good to miss. The event will include live DJ’s, street art workshop, stalls to buy stuff and a mini-ramp jam/comp on the new mini. Will see you there!
Herbal Skateboards/PhinFilms have just uploaded their new monthly edit for June featuring loads of skateboarding around the south coast as well as home base at Hayling Island.
It’s that time of the month again to catch up with what the skaters over at Hayling Island have been up to courtesy of PhinFilms and Herbal Skateboards (who now have an online store on their website, plus loads more new edits and photos).
As usual prepare for some sick skating, some swearing, a spot of shenanigans plus the last two tricks which are incredible. You have been warned!
The guys from Hayling Island’s Herbal Skateboards have been out and about all April, see the results below.
Be warned, video does contain swearing, blood, drunkenness and jump ramps. Just so you know!
Herbal Skateboards gave us the heads up on some footage from the KING KONG event at the Wedgwood Rooms. The guys there had a micro-ramp not as easy to skate as you might imagine. Looks like loads of fun though.
Skaters: Marcus Payne, Casey Brown, Cody Fraser-Kimpton, Murray Cross, Jon Sekulla, Adam Keys and Sam Willers
We have some great news about our PRIMARY phonography exhibition (find out all the details here) that we can now announce:
- The deadline for submissions has now been extended to Sunday 4th March. We have had some incredible submissions but want to set aside more time to make the exhibition something really special.
- The competition is now open to up to 10 submissions from each individual. With the ability to capture many photos on your phone over the next two months we we want you to not feel restricted to just three. The same rules apply about the photos conforming to compositions using the primary colours though. If you have already submitted feel free to send more photos over as and when you please.
- The exhibition will be hosted by Albert Road’s own Bonzo Studio who are also partnering up with us in the creation of the exhibition space. More news on this soon!
- Finally, we will be running a competition as part of the exhibition where the best three photos submitted will win some incredible prizes. We will be announcing the prizes available very soon but got to say, these will be the best prize haul we have ever offered.
- We will be putting together a poster for the exhibition that will be on sale on the opening night. The poster will feature some of the best submissions and all profits from the sales will go to a local charity (details to follow soon). Due to this we need to say that any photos submitted to PRIMARY will involve you giving us permission to use them for commercial purposes, if you do not want your photo used in this way simply let us know via email.
Well, that is it for now! We really hope to drum up as much coverage locally for PRIMARY in the next couple of months so if you could Facebook/Tweet/+1 about the exhibition we would really appreciate it. We would love this exhibition to be a real reflection of the whole population of Portsmouth with everyone taking part and feeling involved.
