Kolohe Andino and Luke Davis, LAX Collected Thoughts 064

Kolohe Andino Luke Davis Indonesia boat trip what youth

It was pretty funny to watch these two — along with Ian Crane and Tanner Rozunko — all realize that after all these years growing up together and surfing that they’d never done a big trip together like this. Let alone a trip with Taj Burrow, on a boat for a week. It hit them all at the same time. Kolohe literally and physically fought back excitement. We’re making a new project with Kolohe Andino and it’s time to call it officially underway. Stay tuned.

This also presents a good moment to let you know that we’re going somewhere that has no Internet access, phones or Instagram, but it does have waves, so enjoy the programming we’ve scheduled for you and don’t feel sorry for us…see you soon. Hopefully much more barreled and enlightened.

John John Florence in Barbados

John John in Barbados Collected Thoughts 001

This is John John Florence by the ghost of an Olympic pool at an abandoned resort in the parish of St. Lucy near the northern tip of Barbados, and what a useless cavity in the ground has he got here. The walls are too vertical to skate, there’s no water to ease the heat, there’s…
