What Youth

Opinion Can we all just get along?

Yesterday we posted on our Instagram account what we thought was a simple recognition of a young woman who we admire for her courage and determination in bringing light to a subject that apparently she feels is important.

Watch “Surf Hossegor” Jeremy, Marc, and the crew in France.

Unless you’ve been there in person, its hard to really get a grasp of the place. Hossegor, La Graviere, Les Culs Nus, etc. All epic on their day, but oh so elusive. First, the tide swings in this part of the world are massive so the deal changes moment by moment. Second, you can be…

Watch “North Shore sandbars” with the Florence bros

Unless you’ve been there to see it in person it’s hard to understand where and how this wave even happens. All along the Off The Wall/Pipe/Ehukai zone different sandbars can form, some better than others obviously as seen in this video. A lot of water moves around the North Shore during different swell angles and…

Watch O’Neill’s “O’Riginals”–Travis Potter

In the latest installment of O’Neill’s O’Riginals series, they throw it back to a time of deep feral exploration in the Indonesian archipelago. And this episode’s subject, Travis Potter, has done it about as feral as it can be done. With his pals Timmy Turner, Brett Shwartz and Mikala Jones, Travis has probably seen more…
