Surfing, Skateboarding, Music, Photography, Travel, Culture and general antics of the youth on the run.

The What Youth Wish List Here are all the things we want this holiday season, which is probably stuff you or the youth on the run in your life will want

what youth recommends holiday gift guide 2017

Being a youth on the run requires a significant amount of equipment. And I don’t mean useless consumer goods (well, sometimes) but we need gear and tools. Late nights, early mornings require things. And every year we like to take stock of all the things we need to keep creating at the healthy clip that we do. We had our staff compile a list of the things they think we all need (you included). Now this ranges from cameras to keychains. T-shirts to tripods. Wetsuits to matches. Let’s go shopping.

What Youth

Well, of course you better start this exercise by emptying our shop to end the year so we can re-fill it next year.

VHS Camera

These are great for home movies and what youth movies. eBay is littered with ‘em. We want.

Foo and Foo T-Shirt

Electric Typewriter

Did you know that Hunter S. Thompson copied Ernsest Hemingway novels word-for-word on a typrewriter so he could learn their style when he was still a young upstart? Seriously. Not saying the same might work for you, but it’s worth a try.
