There’s not many ways to be perversely snarky on a nude beach. With all of your naughty-bits hanging out, there’s not much you can tell someone that they’ll find risque. If you don’t feel comfortable in your own skin, these Anatomic Wetsuits, by Diddo Velema, allow you to appear not only comfortable with your anatomy, but brash enough to show more than what’s skin deep.

Watch as women blush and giggle over your unveiled gluteus maximus muscle (that’s your ass). Your bloodied biceps prove your certainly take care of your body. Oh, and ladies, instant bikini body!

In an effort to exhibit the sense of surfing in skateboarding, Mitch Mulder came up with this design during a class project at Kendall College of Art and Design. After realizing he made a worthwhile draft he partnered up with Salvaore Vilardi to attempt to market the board.  It looks way more fun to mess around with than that 360.

The SoulArc is reminiscent of a long board except it’s tall structure and spring clad trucks allow for the transfer of energy in a manner similar to carving a wave. Mulder is one skateboarder who was sick and tired of riding planks. Now, he wants to market the board as a way for surfers to get around on land. No word on the price of the board but check out their official site for future availability.

I don’t know if he listens to RZA but at least graphic designer Alberto Seveso knows his shit. Apparently he’s so good at using ‘teh l33t ph0t0sh0p sk1llz’ that he was able to essentially transform surfer Kelly Slater into a damn wave. Yeah. Alberto cut him up good and did a hell of a shading job. Some of the best work in Photoshop I’ve ever seen.

Combining surfing, snowboarding and skateboarding, designer Francesco Sommacal has come up with the mother of extreme sports. Winner of the 2007 Volvo Sportdesign Concept Award, the “360″ is the all-in-one sports activity. Not to be confused with the Xbox 360, the 360’s ‘board’ has the users feet rest on a platform/slot in the center of the wheel as opposed to standing on a board carried by wheels or waves. This allows for a bigger impact on steering and jumping. No word on whether or not this great concept will make it to retail stores but one thing is for certain, the 360 is hot and I want one now.
