Editor’s note: You got to be kidding me. Since we stormed Mark Oblow’s Back Den to load back up on images from his archive, we’d seen everyone from Kelly Osbourne to Reese Forbes to Jason Dill to Wayne Lynch. And now he does this. That’s range. Mr. Oblow, you have the floor once again. —Travis …
From a kid surfing in the late 70s wayne lynch was the man! His style, his attitude, his surfing was mind-blowing.
I met Kassia about 10 years ago shooting for Roxy. The first time I saw her ride a surfboard i almost cried!
It was one of the raddest shoots for me only having Dill, and Nate, and we got to do what ever we wanted to do.
Tom is a pure inspiration, a fucking legend, and an epic human.
Reese Forbes drips of style just as he pushes down the street. His eastern exposures parts are life changing.
