Watch “Kai Bagah No Wundah” Kai Barger and his Maui boys love to be way above water, and aren’t afraid to be way underwater either
Kai Barger is an interesting member of the Maui crew. When he was younger, he was probably the most well-known talent — always a major threat in NSSA’s and always putting out really good clips. So this next sentence feels weird but: He’s kind of become underground (in a rad way). When you consider he…

Watch Nat Young in “Commute” A rare edit from a World Tour surfer
We just don’t get them. Edits from World Tour guys. Not proper ones at least. It’s very refreshing to watch Nat hone that backhand on the right points of his home in Santa Cruz. Very classic surfing here. Note how few airs he does, yet how intrigued you remain. Return to Thrash? Yep.
4 Years Ago Today We Released This The first visions of What Youth

Listen to CFM Charles Moothart, longtime Ty Segall collaborator, unleashes solo project
CFM could mean many things. Chill fucking music. Crispy fried monkey. I could really go on forever with this. But I digress. CFM is the first solo effort of Charles Francis Moothart II, lead guitarist of Fuzz and Ty Segall’s longtime collaborator and shredder, and I’m absolutely into the band name. It’s simple. Sweet. And…
Are you a Lizard of Summer? Contribute your clips to be featured in the new episodes
OK, by now you’ve seen our show Lizards of Summer. It’s the hottest mess we’ve got. We call it the dregs of the video vault, but it’s just all the material we shoot on the run, mashed up of peculiar moments in time that we immortalize as Lizards of Summer. It isn’t always pretty (rarely is)…
