Off Beat: Ryan Callinan Episode 016

Ryan Callinan makes us happy. That’s probably because he smiles a lot. He also pulls crazy shit on trips and is likely going to blow your mind come the end of the year. You’ll see. Despite a few injuries in recent years that have kept him from the spotlight he deserves, Ryan is smiling and…

A lot of you may be getting your first introduction to Mitch Crews via his post-heat interviews on webcasts now that he’s a famous competitive surfer. But we don’t really know that dude. The dude we know has actually been a staple in the back of the van cracking us up for years. We filmed…

Luke Davis off beat what youth

Off Beat: Luke Davis Episode 006

As we said before, we thought we knew this dude.

Nice NSSA results, etc. But now he’s grown up. With tats. And power. Vibes….
