The WY Guide: The South West of France Your escape for autumn includes fine wine, women and beachbreaks
Everyone knows the second the U.S. Open of Surfing ends, summer might as well be over and done with. You might get a few hot beach days out of it, but it’s time to start planning your next move. August is weird. It’s hot. And sticky. And crowded. And aside from maybe Japan and Tahiti…
The WY Guide: Newport Beach, CA A coastal circus we somehow love
Newport Beach is an odd place. It’s our backyard. We love it. We hate it. It is a juxtaposition of some of the world’s worst culture next to some pretty awesome people and places. And the waves can be as fun as anywhere on earth. It’s a place where the iconic Frog House surf shop exists…
Eating and Drinking in Barcelona A Radical Class note pad from the Med
I was sitting in traffic the other day after a long day at work and got a whiff of someone’s cigarette in a passing car. The smoke took me back to a far away place. A place where you can float in the Mediterranean Sea, where everyone is a wacky strange beautiful. Where the speed…
5 Books to Fuel Your Existential Crisis Don’t have an existential crisis? Get one this weekend
You don’t have to read. Your life is your blank page, scribble as you like. But in our experience, it’s still the best way to begin understanding the complicated, ever-curious thoughts that come into our own minds. To learn that living is living and we’re all going to die. And we don’t mean that to…
3 Cocktails for Summer What Youth Drinks for a Crowd
When it comes to summer, for me, it doesn’t get much better than a long day at the beach — some waves, some beers, some babes, sun, sand. You all know that and I’m sure do it very well. That’s cake. The icing on the cake is then, instead of everyone going home come sunset,…
Massive Mexico Derek Dunfee rides and documents ridiculously large Puerto
Editor’s Note: Derek Dunfee does things only a couple of humans on this planet can do: he chases massive waves around the world (completely sponsorless and on his own dime) and has the presence of mind to document with his photos and words. This is as close as you can get to what these guys…

The WY Guide to Cape Town, South Africa by C.S. Louis
The WY Guide: New Zealand Coffee, wine, waves and music
New Zealand sits next to Australia on a map, but often below it on bucket lists. A long flight to go for somewhere not Australia. But that’s what makes it such a jewel. It’s the underground choice. The sleepier cousin of the mate above them, New Zealand is a place that offers a lot of discovery, peaceful head space and…
The WY Guide: The Gold Coast With Jack Freestone and C.S. Louis
Welp, you know what time it is: “Time to fuck the WSL!” No, we kid, calm down. But for reals, lots of our friends and enemies will have their eyes on Snapper and the Gold Coast the next few days, and since we enjoy a little shindig as much as the next guy, we thought we’d give…

Radical Class: Industry Talk 7 things catching our eye
Quiksilver used to have a slogan that said: “If you can’t rock and roll, don’t fucking come.” It was fun, punk and had some damn moxie. I’d wear that! But then Quiksilver became cautious and scared and you didn’t hear much from them unless you looked at the back of your dad’s t-shirt. This is…
