Surfing, Skateboarding, Music, Photography, Travel, Culture and general antics of the youth on the run.
Jared Mell went to school on the sand in Newport Beach. Literally. Staring at the sea and coloring. Since those days of hand ball on the sand, he’s developed into the kind of longboarder you want to stare at. One of those guys who moves spastic and poetic at once.
And on this gloomy little morning in Newport we tossed our Off Beat gamut of questions at him and ended up touring the harbor in a boat. Spontaneity!
Noah Schweizer is from Florida, but he’s lived in LA for a year and is already followed by Miley Cyrus. He’s got a smooth style and a ton of animals. We went to his LA house and made him answer our Off Beat questions. PHOTOGRAPHY BY: Hunter Martinez
There’s a new blonde bowl cut in town and his name is Harry Bryant. Classic Australian in every sense of the word. After the release of his new edit “Rust” we had him over during his first trip to California and mic’d him up for an Off Beat and learned he loves his beer, his…
We got stuck on a boat in an Indonesian rain storm recently and spent two whole days sitting in a brown and flooded harbor. This is one of those days. We passed the time by asking stupid questions to awesome people. This day we talked to one of our favorite Floridians Eric Geiselman.
It’s pretty good gig sailing around the Indian Ocean surfing for a job, that is until your board bops you in the head and forces emergency stitching from the caption to the tune of 5 XL stitches. Since he couldn’t surf, we made Ian make some of the tough Off Beat decisions. And it’s presented…
A quick chat with Yago bobbing in the Indian Ocean. We hope you’re not watching this from behind a desk at your day job.
This time we paired up Eric Koston and Brad Staba in Copenhagen. We’ve clearly stated more than one time that Copenhagen may very well be the greatest city on earth, and the fact that listening to these two go back and forth with tins in their hands is a common thing really helps prove that…
Turns out everyone was in Copenhagen during the CPH Pro, even Stefan Janoski, the dude with a red hot Nike skate shoe and a house in just about every corner of the US was out there under the all day and night sun. We tossed some Off Beat questions at him. This is that.
Raven Tershy tells it exactly how it is. To him. Like it or not. And what a breath of smoke-filled air he is. We got an Off Beat and much more out of him when we hung with him in Copenhagen last week. Post-pinky break (which sounds painful as shit) he finished a few cocktails…
He was literally one of the first people we put a microphone on for What Youth, and that was four years ago. We put another one on him in Copenhagen the other day, and asked the questions quicker. He’s yet to do a bad interview. <3
We met up with Chris in Berlin a couple weeks back in Berlin. Volcom’s new skate film Holy Stokes had just come out and we picked his brain on this wild world we live in for this all new episode of Off Beat.
Australians have always been a little more, umm, ruthless than their American counterparts in regards to many things. They also know how to boat trip better than everyone. We recently boarded a boat with a bunch of them, and one of them was Kai Hing. A tow-headed grom with a wild backhand air game, great…
Saw Colin Moran at the donut shop once. Then at the smoothie shop. Then saw him ripping around town and loved his surf style. Which led us to inviting him to Indo on a boat. He was actually brave enough to travel with us for the whole journey. Before the trip we all went to Bali on…
