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

Tonight's the night! Come see @volcom's first full-length surf film in a very long time. 7pm at the Big Newport 6 Theater in Newport Beach. Free and all ages.
Fall usually delivers good music. And it's begun: new DIIV and Deerhunter tunes are out, go listen at WhatYouth.com.
And we're back. So let's start up the band(s) with a new Stay Tuned playlist from Dolan Stearns (@sorry_entertainer), which will shatter the awkward silence in your head. Now playing at WhatYouth.com. | Presented by @dblanc Photo: @luckyboyislucky
Our website is getting upgraded and will be back up shortly. Let's look at its momentary outage as an opportunity, not a setback. Here's another look into the pages of What Youth Issue 12. Photo by @larsen_sotelo

Making final tweaks to What Youth Issue 12 today. This is @yagodora on the set of @volcom's upcoming film: Psychic Migrations, which premieres later this month. What Youth Issue 12 is coming soon.
Morning everyone, @oliverkurtz here still, but I'm sure I'm gonna have to give the keys back to What Youth soon, got a couple more: Taj has gotta be one my biggest influences. The way he's carried himself throughout his career and the fact he wanted to Acid Drop off a helicopter at one point is...
Out of all the photos I'm sharing today this one means the most. This is where it all started for me. Sebastian Inlet. I grew up watching guys like Kelly Slater, the Hobgoods, the Lopez beothers, Bill Hartley, David Spier, Matt Kechle...list is too long. But that's all I did back then was watch because...
Ok, What Youth guys needed a break, I'm taking over. This is @oliverkurtz and I'm from Florida, so let's start there. This is the Treasure Coast of Florida. Quite literally. A couple lucky hunters found 4.6 million dollars in this exact lineup a couple weeks ago. Unreal. - @oliverkurtz @brixton #brixton
Ok here's the deal: we're on deadline for Issue 12. Instagram is a motherfucker when it comes to time wasting, so we're giving ours to @oliverkurtz, and seeings how this is what he considers a "selfie" we think he's gonna do great. Enjoy the show. And we'll see us when we finish your next mag....
