Listen: The Backseat Lovers And how to sneak backstage

One of our loyal followers of all things What Youth, Zach Del Valle, recently hit us up with an interesting request: he wanted to scam his way backstage to an upcoming show by a band called The Backstage Lovers, who were to be performing in Kansas City. The plan was to pose as media and…

Watch: “Mex Trip” More B-Roll from Snapt4

As we count the days to the recently announced premiere of Snapt4 -which has to be the most anticipated surf movie ever – Logan sent over what we assume is the final tease. But then again, we got over a month to go! This one features Jack, Asher, and Parker in Mainland Mex, and it’s…

Watch: “Pink Insomnia” Featuring Braiden Maither

Ok, this is sick. We love when one of the boys puts out a DIY edit. Gather up some clips, find some great tunes, and get after it. Of course, the fancy edits by the big guns are epic too but there’s just something rad about the available tech these days that allows almost anyone…

Watch: “Insomnia” Featuring Jonathan Gubbins

As we know, the Indonesian archipelago has been on a bit of a run lately and clips have been dropping daily by everyone lucky enough to be there. Well, of course, traveling tube hound Jonathan Gubbins was on hand as well along with his trusty filmer @Kirfalens. Last we saw him he was getting barreled…

Watch: “Lost Track Atlantic” EP 3 NEED Essentials presents Torren Martyn and Ishka Folkwell

After bombing down from Scotland on a quick little 3000-mile roadie, we pick up the boys where they left us in EP2: Morocco.

Cliff-side right points, dusty, cactus, etc. Until you see a camel…

Watch: “Down From Waterloo” Featuring Jordy Lawler

The list of ripper goofyfooters from Sydney’s Northern Beaches, is ridiculously long. World champs and shit. Jordy is right up there as very possibly the next one to represent what are some of the most competitive lineups in the world. Unfortunately, however, COVID sidelined his competitive progress over the past year or so. So what…

Watch: Mason Ho The Full POV Experience

The POV kink ain’t for everyone. That said, this little 12 minute beauty from Mase and Rory is well worth a look. Obviously, Mason is a tube hound extraordinaire, and this particular right-hand point offers up perfect sand-bottomed, line green spinners, so the combo is just right to produce some rather intriguing angles. The one…

Watch: Nic and Nate hit Kandui

Nic Von Rupp is on a roll. He just scored some fine Desert Point, albeit after a nasty interaction with a vicious Tom Cat bug, and then he shot over to the Ments and plugged right into Kandui Resort just in time for a banging swell. Our man Nate Behl, or McNasty as we know…
