Watch: “Crazy Waves” Featuring Mason Ho

‘Ol Mase is hard to keep up with. One of surfing’s most prolific vloggers, you could about run a website with just his content. He keeps Mr. Pringle very busy. We’re not sure if these crazy shallow spots featured in all these clips are all one and the same or if there are indeed more…

Watch: “Currents” Featuring Micha Cantor and Luke Gordon

Watch: “Chuffed” Featuring Joel Paxton

Flock of Seagulls. Fuck ya. Ya gotta give a tip of the hat to a guy that can pull a tune that his parents probably listened to while still dreaming up their future young surf prodigy. We’ll see how long it takes until the ‘Seagulls record label is on the phone with a removal demand….
