Joe Aaron is a Pro surfer known for his . He is the first to invent the (Jackson Ten) nose ride as seen on the cover of SLIDE Magazine as well as on Fox 11 (Good Day LA). He started surfing at the age of 4 years old and turned pro at 14 years old. At the age 17 he placed 9th in the 2008 longboard world championships. Joe is also "2X Longboard Surfer of the Year". He is a Capistrano Beach, CA based professional longboard phenomenon, established not only as one of the top rated surfers in international competitions, but also has received extensive media exposure with interviews on Fox 11 TV (Good Day LA) and Fuel TV, has had his surf and art photos featured in surf magazines across the globe including three covers, as well as an appearance in a national commercial for Nickelodeon.
About the same time he started getting serious about surfing, Joe realized he had an artistic streak he couldn't suppress. He'd travel to surf spots, and be inspired enough by what he saw to put it on canvas with his own artistic twist. Joe's art is splashed with vibrant, bold colors, and just like his surfing, it screams to be heard.
His artistic abilities have oozed into various JoeMotion products such as Surfboards shaped and custom painted by him, a multi-colored fin line (JoeMotion.com) designed in fiberglass by Joe, and a JoeMotion T-shirts line.
A gifted artist since he was old enough to hold a pencil, Joe’s cartoons and acrylic and watercolor fine art harken back to different eras, simultaneously evoking classic surf artist John Severson, Rick Griffin, and early 1900s’ Dutch painter, Piet Mondrian - all the while, filtering it through his own unique, part contemporary, part retro “JoeMotion” vision.“I wanted to do something that is unique and set me apart,” said Aaron.
He realized early on a preference for bright colors. While everyone was wearing black wetsuits and riding plain, white boards, he made sure he stood out by wearing multi-colored blocks and tie dyes. Joe shapes all his own boards that he rides as well as those he designs for his clients. Each board design has been tested by Joe at some of the world’s best surf spots, and crafted for peak performance to give riders some of the best surf sessions of their life. "Joe is the face of longboarding; we like his style!" says Rick Dickert of FOX 11 NEWS.

Anthony Crispino is a fictional character on Saturday Night Live's recurring Weekend Update sketch, where he works as the second-hand news reporter. The character is portrayed by Bobby Moynihan.
About the character
Image and personality
Crispino has a black mustache with black hair. He speaks with a New Jersey accent and usually wrinkles his nose while talking. He usually appears with bulged eyes and nods toward the screen after the punchline. After Seth Meyers gives the question, Crispino turns it into an incorrect statement with his own twist. He always looks sideways (and sometimes up and down) for people spying even though the news is not fresh nor secret. Most of the time, Seth asks the source of Crispino's information. He usually replies with the odd name of one of his relatives or friends such as "Meaty Dianne" or "Disaster Greg".
Notable moments
* When Crispino brought up former Libyan ruler Muammar Gaddafi, he incorrectly referred to him as a "wizard" and recalled his name as "Gandalfi." He further erred by stating that the late ruler "was a real ladies' man, because he calls himself, you know, the President of Labia."
*When Crispino brought up actress Natalie Portman's Oscar win for Black Swan, he incorrectly stated that "Arkansas Governor Huckleberry Hound" was unhappy that "she made a baby out of dreadlocks," referring to Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee expressing dissent over her having a baby out of wedlock. He further mistook her film Black Swan for "Black Tron," referring to the 2010 film Tron: Legacy, starring "Todd Bridges," mistaken for actor Jeff Bridges.
*When Crispino cheerfully brought up the subject of , he mistakenly shouted, "We did it! We finally killed Oksana Baiul! UFO! UFO! UFO!" when intending to cheer the acronym for United States of America.
* When Crispino brought up the subject of Obama's tax repeals ("you hear about this...this Obama"), he incorrectly states "he's going to repeal the Bush haircuts" (taxcuts).
* When Crispino brought up the subject of Brett Favre's retirement ("you hear about this...this Brett Favre"), he twisted the statement into "yeah, he announced he's retarded" (retired), then points out "...if he's not retarded, then why'd he take a picture of his ding-a-ling?".
* When Crispino brought up the subject of Tiger Woods's divorce, he incorrectly says "he finally divorced Ellen DeGeneres (Elin Nordegren)....that was never going to work, 'cause, you know, she's Lebanese (lesbian)".
* When Crispino brought up the subject of ("you hear abut this...this Newt Gingrich") he incorrectly says "he announced he's gonna run over the president" (run for president).
* In reference to the royal wedding in 2011, he incorrectly states Prince will.i.am (Prince William) married Kate Gosselin (Kate Middleton). He then says "that's why everybody was so upset that he didn't invite Fergie."
* As a response to the release of the iPhone 4S he says, "Oh yeah, they released a new iPhone for your ass".
* On the topic of Occupy Wall Street, he claims that the Protestants (protesters) are trying to occupy Walgreens (Wall Street) because they want 99% off.
