Straight Forward: Oliver Kurtz Episode 006

03.25.14 – TAGS:

Oliver Kurtz has a way of being everywhere.

During the few weeks this piece was shot, we ran into Oliver at a book signing in Hollywood. He had just arrived after several wild nights in Sydney with Taj Burrow and photographer John Respondek, which followed a short trip to Bali and Western Australia (where this was filmed). After that he flew to Hawaii and picked off one of the best waves of his life. Then he showed up at a Brixton party in San Diego to watch a band play and premiere a short film he worked on in Costa Rica. All the while he’s posting photos of his Victoria Secret model friends coloring on his boards. His brother is a sick DJ, he’s got new stickers and a new vibe and his surfing is really impressive. And apparently he loves hucking to the flats now too.

Sometimes it’s nice to just watch someone with a good style go surfing. That’s what this is.

No frills, no nonsense just a big spotlight pointed at the swell smashing into the chunky reef at P Pass in Micronesia.
