What Youth

Watch: “Rock” Mikey Wright in Hawaii through the lens of Wade Carroll

Every few years or so a new talent comes up through the ranks, maybe wins a few junior events on the way up, etc., and inevitably they are pushed further into the comp scene as they get older. For any number of reasons, they might flame out competitively but continue to rip at the highest…

Watch: Von Froth “My Worst Wipeouts”

If you play in Nic’s playground you’re going to cop a beating once in a while. It’s just a percentage game. Eventually you’re going to pay the piper. But we had no idea that our Portuguese pal had a sadistic side to him and actually enjoys the punishment! In his words. “Some people see wiping…

Watch: “One Day” Featuring William Aliotti

Like many of Europe’s better surf talent these days, William Aliotti is a hard-working man. A pros pro you might say. Lots of clips, photos, etc. Our friends at RIPITUP sent over this short one of William doing his thing in some rather dreamy Hossegor. Damn, they’ve been on a run over there of late….

What Youth Drinks: Tequila Our little friend from south of the border

Oh yes, Tequila, our little friend from south of the border. Tequila has built itself quite a reputation over the years as one of the most popular celebratory spirits. It would be a short list of who hasn’t, at least once, toasted some extraordinary occasion with a shot or two of tequila? Of late, however,…

Watch: “Sonic Souvenirs” Featuring Mikey February

We’ve been kicking around this concept for a while now of how surfing and music were once so very much intertwined. And not just any music but the music that truly inspired the youth generations of various periods. In turn, surfing was often seen as an important culturally relevant influence as well simply because it…

Watch: Chapter 11 “Emo Micky”

After watching the comp in Newy last week and then this cool little clip right after, it was hard not to see the stark comparisons that exist in surfing today. Nothing negative on either front, just a fifty mile wide gap in what is being called progressive surfing these days. In the comp world obviously…

TAKE FIVE: EP 16 ‘Rona be damned, the WSL is going to Rio

While the WSL had our attention watching the comp in Newcastle last week (Congrats to Italo and Carissa by the way), they dropped an updated 2021 schedule that featured a few new additions. Barra de la Cruz in Mainland Mexico for one and a reboot of the Oi Rio Pro presented by Corona as another….

Watch: Snapt4 Clay’s B Rolls

Come on, this is just getting ridiculous at this point. As the “world’s best” grovel in some Newcastle fuzz, Logan is posting up throwaways of the most underrated surfer of a generation as he is absolutely shitting on whatever the WSL has to offer these days. Our words not his, of course, as Clay is…
