Video: Blake Myers

We’ve long been fans of Thom Pringle. Hard worker. Talented artist and photographer. Quirky personality. Good surfer. Good skater. He continues to zag when life zigs and it’s very refreshing. From construction worker to pro surfer to skater to good person. We could go on all day.

His latest adventure sees him living in Paris. On a whim. Working in the city assisting a professional photographer. A long way from home in Australia.

We passed through France and hailed Thom for a skate and chat about his new adventure. From the guy who never ceases to amaze and carve his own path through hard work and a creative mind. The best way.

For The Love: Andy Davis Episode 021: Playful, psychedelic and light presented by Vissla

You know Andy Davis’ art. Even if you don’t know it yet. It’s fun and colorful and somehow skirts around the psychedelic, but does so in a playful, lively and light way. We recently stopped by Said Space Studios for a quick hello and chatted about his work and some of the recent projects he’d done with…

For The Love: Leo Valls Episode 020 Presented by Vissla: Molded by the streets of Bordeaux

Leo Valls is a reminder about how environment can shape your skating. Growing up in the storied streets of Bordeaux, France, Leo’s style is unlike anything e’ve ever seen. Molded by the marble and brick sidewalks of the city, he’s reminded us all that as skaters, surfers, painters, poets and creators we get to write our signature…

For The Love: Alex Gardner Episode 019 Presented by Vissla

Alex Gardner loves the idea of making stuff. And lucky for us, when he does that it’s beautiful and powerful. His paintings grab you immediately. And we wanted to learn more about this Southern California native’s process. So we went for a visit and found his space inspiring and odd. Exactly how we’d hope for…

For The Love: Jeff McCallum Episode 018 Presented by Vissla

Jeff McCallum wanted to be an NBA star. And standing at 6’3″ and growing up in Colorado, it was probably more likely a profession early on than what he’s doing now: which is shaping some of the most one-of-a-kind, beautiful surfboards you’ll ever lay your eyes on. And doing it out of National City, San Diego….

For the Love: Froth Episode 017 Presented by Vissla

Just to be clear, Froth is not a surf rock band. Although that didn’t stop us from having them play Kolohe’s premiere of “Brother” at the Stance HQ a few weeks ago. The L.A. locals just dropped their new album “Bleak,” but don’t let bleak be the definitive word for this band. Consciously straying away from…

For The Love: Tropical Popsicle Episode 016 Presented by Vissla

Tropical Popsicle are simultaneously laid back yet serious when it comes to their music. They cruised into the music scene back in 2011, throwing in there a collective mix of psych, post punk, and jangle pop. Our friends at Lolipop Records put their first album, The Dawn of Delight, out on tape in 2013 and…

We met Cody and Jared Hager while filming Collin Provost’s Fairly Normal part. Originally from Tehachapi, California they moved to HB to pursue skateboarding — not to be pro, but just to be around it and to skateboard, a lot. And this was that time when everyone lived in HB. When they moved here Jared…
