Issue 14’s European Debut A boat party through Bordeaux. Yep.

Bordeaux, the heart of France’s wine country. A favorite for those in the know — a smaller, warmer, friendlier Paris. What better place to torch up for Issue 14. As the spring sun started casting early evening shadows across the Garonne River, Bordeaux’s finest grand cru of youth congregated onboard Iboat. Magazines were pondered, surfers…

Watch The Growlers Cover “Mama Said” And “Charlie Don’t Surf” at the Observatory

The Growlers always have tricks up their sleeves. And last Valentine’s Day, during their set at the Observatory in Santa Ana, they surprised the crowd by doing a cover of the Shirelles “Mama Said”, with an amazing segue into the Clash’s “Charlie Don’t Surf”. Talk about a fucking wonderful mashup. Shot by Taylor Bonin and…

Watch Rasta and Ozzie rip in Australia Poetic and reckless ripping presented by Sanuk

There was jazz in the water. We walked up to a famed (and notoriously sharky) Australian point break to meet up wit Rasta and Ozzie — who were already in the water. The wind was onshore, but the sand was good and rights were pouring in. The lineup was littered with whitecaps, but then two…

Bored to Death by Surfing The Olympics, wave pools, Reef calendar’s and the WSL. Is that all we got? I hope not.

Maybe it’s the antibiotics. A bug bite gone wrong (the venom aimed at my heart and made a bee-line for it via my circulatory system) has forced me to stay on the sand and off the drink this week, which, as you may know, is what I usually use to ignite and direct most my thoughts onto…

Austin Sike Fest “It was like having a good time at a funeral.” The Levitation Fest that wasn’t to be

I was feeling inspired, euphoric and maybe a little bigheaded when I flew into Austin, Texas last week. Not only was I covering Levitation Fest, but I somehow managed to secure an interview with Slowdive before their set. They’re gods in the realm of shoe gaze and I am their servant. To engage in a…
