The What Youth Gutter Trunks It’s summer in Paris. Gutter trunks now available on the cyber market and at What Youth HQ
The pavement is hot out there kids. And so is the sand. We’re in the trenches of summer now and we need reinforcements. So we made a clean, comfortable, high-quality pair of trunks for you. We’ve tested them in the warmest water the globe could offer, and we ran through the hot sprinklers of Paris…
Watch Blake Myers’ ShowReel This…and he has a winning record against Gabriel Medina
Blake Myers once beat Gabriel Medina (and Keanu Asing) in a heat at the ISA World games. It’s still one of Dane Reynolds’ favorite things to Google hoping the footage will surface one day.

Julian Wilson Freesurfing at J-Bay Hole in one!
Hey, we love how Julian surfs. He might own more jock straps and golf clubs than we do, but he also fucking rips and has a textbook style. And the dude draws some of our favorite lines at J-Bay. While most of the world watches people shoot the pier, we found some refuge in this…

Ty Segall Releases New EP “Fried Shallots” with all proceeds benefitting the ACLU
My obsession with Ty Segall runs deep. Like ocean deep. And any music news from him gets my spidey senses all tingly. Last week, Segall announced the release of new EP “Fried Shallots,” a six-track brain blast, with all proceeds benefitting the ACLU. The mini album acts as a compilation of sorts, and presents a…
Warbly Jets Announce New Album And release first taste “4th Coming Bomb”
Warbly Jets are no strangers to the effects of Los Angeles. After moving from New York City to the sunnier coast, songwriters Julien O’Neill and Samuel Shea couldn’t help but feel the creativity floating in the air. Their self-proclaimed “synth-driven guitar rock” is all at once new and familiar, both glam rock and classic rock,…
WY Guide: The Bartender Getting a drink in a crowded bar is an art. Here’s your paint set.
As Shane Dorian famously said in Loose Change: “What’s your poison man?” That ageless, sometimes slightly altered greeting has been heard by bar patrons since the first bar opened circa 900 AD.
