WY Recommends: “Gash and the Seven Blades” An art installation

Art curator Josh Rush has been working on this project with his brother Tom Cole and Simon Buttonshaw for the last 3 years, featuring Greg Brown, Paul Cousins, and Simon himself. If you don’t recognize the name, Buttonshw has had a heavy hand in many of Quik’s classic graphics over the years. The Gash/Seven Blades…

Watch: “Bronson Meydi” Indonesia’s legit young talent

The kid from Lakey has been on the radar for a few years now, but his surfing of late has taken on a new level of maturity. We often see young guns with all the hops terrorizing their local spots but then eventually outgrow their own body, get distracted by life, or some combination of…

Watch: “Reminisce” A groovy short by Perry Gershkow

A short film by Perry Gershkow made from a few of the just misses and a few nice keepers from “Elude” featuring Noah Wegrich. Something about black and white that just screams “cold.” Well, the hood, boots, and gloves doesn’t help either. Enjoy. What Youth Song: Abusey Junction by KOKOROKO

Watch: “One week” Some quality time with Barron Mamiya

Yes, we did give him a shout in our 2020 “Five To Watch”, like that was ever a hard choice. But seriously, this guy is charging and this clip shows the man truly in his element: punchy, throaty, Hawaiian barrels. Simply, Barron is one of those guys who don’t even need a tour to still…

Watch: “Fun Boys Super Session” From NobodySurf

Once again, we are featuring a Fun Boys Entertainment clip brought to us from our friends at NobodySurf. It’s from back in 2016 but still very watchable with a solid crew getting after it. This episode features Creed, Garrett, and the boys taking turns on some damn fun looking wedges, which, if you’re on COVID…

Left or right? Is COVID-19 tearing apart surfing?

A few days ago we posted a photo on our Insta that depicted what appeared to be a crowded beach scene in Newport Beach, of which was reported by the source as from April 25th. Normally, a crowded beach in Newport is a very common occurrence as we approach summer, however, as we know, things…

Watch: “Leo Fioravanti” If only briefly

A little clip of Leo dropped into the box today, surfing what looks like some fun Haleiwa. It’s a short one but well worth the visit. Leo is looking very solid going into whatever is next for pro surfing. Only time will tell. Also, hopefully the WSL can resolve the injury wildcard thingy with he…

Watch: “Big Monday” By Jack Coleman

This latest from our content share with NobodySurf features a few large bombs from Pipe, and the usual crew who are on it every swell. Healey, Balram, Anthony, etc. A little grumpy on this day, and it’s very solid second reef Pipe with the roll-ins, the wash-throughs, all the bells and whistles, etc. Even underground…
