We have been keeping a sharp eye out for the current trends on the street. Trying to make sure that we have the most current and legit clothing for you to stay on point at all times. Although, a person sometimes forgets that the originality of clothing comes from culture. So we decided to not give you the typical run of the mill outfit pictures, but instead share a couple cultural events current and up-coming. We couldn’t think of a better way to find inspiration for adding to your closet and re-styling what you already have.

Here are a few versatile pieces we thought were worthy for each event.

Sick Powell Skate Decks

The majority of the world is layering on their streetwear pullovers and surf style jackets because they're experiencing record-breaking colds right now. While average people are hibernating inside, you can only imagine what real surfers and dudes within the industry are doing around the world. You guessed it. The deep freeze has brought in some wicked storm waves in locations such as Southern California and even off the coast of Ireland and other areas in Europe. People are anxiously awaiting the opportunity to freeze their asses off just to be able to rip into some serious swells. That's not everything though. Surf photographers have also captured some bomb surf style shots of these deep freeze waves. 

SOCAL SWELLS FOR SURFERS

California usually gives decent enough weather for tanks and tees, but with the cold weather, the deep freeze has also enhanced the surf swells! While everyone else is complaining of the chilly weather, the real Californians are grabbing their boards, preparing to rip the wicked waves. Of course, it's damn cold once you finally get out of the salt water, and that's why you have to go prepared with your streetwear jacket ready for you to strip into as soon as you get back onto shore. It's well worth it though. Even the surf style shots that photographers have taken will prove that the chilly weather is totally worth it. 

THE GIANT BLACK SWELL IN IRELAND

America isn't the only place that has people throwing their streetwear sweaters on top of their wetsuits. The North West side of Ireland has been getting some incredible waves that have resulted from the deep freeze we're experiencing. The people of Ireland have switched up their surf style for some colder weather gear so that they can rip into the black swell that professional and amateur surfers have been anxiously awaiting. Everyone else is boarding up their houses and the surfers of Ireland are boarding up and heading to the shore. It's totally rad.

WINTER STORM "HERCULES" IN EUROPE

It's kind of hilarious. While everyone in Europe is ranting over the dangers of Winter Storm Hercules, the surfers within the 45 countries affected by this storm in Europe are lining the sandy shores as they watch the record-breaking deep freeze waves come flooding in. Heavy rains, floods and freezing weather are over-rated to the surfing industry. These streetwear surfing dudes are taking the storm head on. No pun intended. As mentioned, even those who aren't ready to brave the cold water, they're out there snapping surf style shots of everyone who is carving into the swells of Hercules.

Now, you might not be wearing your latest surf style tank to the shore to carve into these swells, but you definitely don't want to miss out on the opportunity to tear up the storm waves and to watch other surfers do the same. It's wild out there, and as any surfer knows, you never give up a good wave. 

Chances are, we have all picked up a video game controller more than once in our life. It's even more likely that we have done so to take the reins of Tony Hawk or to play some other skateboard video games. Let's not kid ourselves. Skateboard games are just as fun as kick flipping your way through your local skate park. Plus, we need something to do on rainy days when we're lounging around in our sweatpants and pullovers, right? That's also not to mention that with skateboarding games, you get to enjoy skate videos that will teach you new tricks for the street. No, not the street in the game, but in reality. Here are some of the most rad games that you need to pick up. 

SKATE SERIES IS WICKED

The entire Skate video game is seriously bomb. You can throw down some wicked tricks throughout the variety of stages in the game. Practice and hone your skills by watching the skate videos and skating around the levels. The skate shop has some realistic ways to create your own personal style. That's also not to mention that you get the entire competitive world of skateboarding right on the screen. Plus, if you aren't ready to risk the rails at the real park, you can still enjoy tearing it up with some video games.

IPHONE SKATE IT

We are all sick of our parents ripping on us to put the controller down, get out of our sweaters and get outside. Little do they know that we can get some of the most rad skate video games on our iPhones. We're thinking ahead of the game with this one. Skate It is a game that you can download. It is like the old school Tony Hawk games that we used to play, and the graphics are as clutch as the latest device. Learn how to nail a kickflip, ride the rails, and lay down some killer tricks on screen so that you can take your game to the treats. You have the option of skating as a pro skateboarder, or take advantage of the skate shop and customize your own character. If you kill it enough, you can create your own skate park as well - The ultimate dream.

ORIGINAL OR NEW TONY HAWK

You can't go wrong with the original skate video game. Tony Hawk has been around since the beginning of Playstation, and the game only continues to get better. It's a realistic way to lace up your Etnies, throw on your streetwear tank and grind the rails of school benches. There are so many new skateboarding tricks to learn, skate videos to watch and you can customize your pro skateboarder in the skate shop. It's unreal how realistic the Tony Hawk games series is. The original version is totally epic, but the newer versions are killer as well. 

So next time you're at the skate shop, check out some of the skate videos. There are tons of skateboard games that can get you kickflipping your way from the living room to the skate park. You're going to play video games when you're not tearing up the half pipe, so you might as well play one that is going to make you a better skater. Plus, the games have some bomb skate videos of pro skaters and real competitions. They're the entire package. Get off your couch, throw on your varsity jacket and grab yourself a new video game at the skate shop.

Some younger dudes may not know about Sean Collins but don't skip over this name. Sean was a self-taught meteorologist who was literally the surf shop forecast man. If you needed to know about the waves and weather, this was your dude. With his knowledge of the water, he went on to create formulas to predict the weather that would affect the surf conditions. Obviously, he quickly became a huge asset to the surfing industry because this was way back in the 60s and 70s. People couldn't pull out their iPhone from their pullover to find out the forecast in seconds. This man went on to do some incredible things within the surf style industry, most of them you are probably well aware of and just had no idea where they came from.

HOW IT ALL BEGAN

Sean went on to use his knowledge to find the best swells in Mexico and found some of the best locations that are known for big-name surfers ripping waves on today.  He also created a surf report service called Surfline which was a call-in service for surf breaks and reports around Southern California. With the advancements in technology, Surfline quickly went online and offered live video streams of the shore. Now, it's one of the most prominent websites for checking out surfing conditions, as well as surf shops, surf style. It's the ultimate place to go for a surfer. Forget Facebook!

SEAN'S BIGGEST RECOGNITIONS

Sean has been recognized for many things within the surfing industry, and one of the major accomplishments came in 1999 when he was named one of the "25 Most Influential Surfers of the Century" by Surfer magazine. In 2006, he was named one of the "100 most powerful people in Southern California" by The Los Angeles Times' West Magazine, especially due to his positive influence that he has had on California's surf industry. 2 years later, Sean was honored for his phenomenal surf forecasting capabilities and was placed into the Surfers' Hall of Fame in Huntington Beach, California. In 2013, he was added into the Surfer's Walk of Fame and also received the Surf Culture Award. He was also honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award. Those are only a small list of his accomplishments, and the biggest and best one goes without an award. He was able to look at the waves and weather and determine whether the surf shops should board their windows because a big storm was on their way. More importantly, he would be able to tell those exact surf shop owners if they should also grab their boards to carve the wicked storm waves coming.

HOW HE CHANGED THE INDUSTRY

It may seem hard to fathom, but there was a day when determining what the waves were going to be and how the weather was going to change was much harder than it is today. You know, back in the day when there was a lack of technology and people didn't have all these devices to find out what the forecast is instantly. The surfers around the world relied on this guy, and not only did he know when the good waves would hit, he knew where! He was the ultimate friend to have if you were into surfing.  Aside from that though, Sean Collins was the one who created the formulas to predict the weather that we can find out so instantaneously now.  He created those formulas so that the weather could be predicted. 

As a surfer, you know that your surf style is determined by the weather. Without the waves, you wouldn't be able to surf and discover your true talent. Sean Collins is a legend within the industry for his impeccable work. He was also a surfer himself, and that alone deserves an entire post.
