NXT 
A while back Brendon Gibbens came through What Youth and sat on our couch. He was tagging along with Dion Agius and Craig Anderson. He was very polite and friendly. Everyone was skating around the warehouse talking shit and hanging out. We had no idea Brendon even surfed.
Cut to a few months later in France: Passing through on his way to Iceland Brendon came and hung out with us for a few days and we got a chance to sit down and officially meet the real man. Turns out he can surf. Really damn well. He has a charming South African accent, unassuming demeanor and one of the wildest alley-oop stomps we’ve seen. And underground appeal that we love. Remember that spelling.

That’s All She Wrote Summer in Biarritz with Jack Freestone, Ryan Callinan and more
Old wood forests, old world markets where men sell bread and cheese, new wave girls on the streets and beaches, pouring smooth Gallic invitations out into the air, a rented flat steps from the sand and swell in the water that’s trunkable with the sun out, which it is. This summer we spent some weeks…

Jack Robinson Inside some Waves And where to see his best work yet
This piece is two months old now, just like Jack Robinson, but it’s worth an encore presentation due to new developments. Two months ago we couldn’t yet say this: Jack has a section in Dear Suburbia that cements him as the steeziest, bowl-cuttest small person around. He slouches in angry waves all bored, like nothing’s…
Misfit Lefts Dion Agius and a Coasta Rican Left Point
“New York punk was just punk, simple and static. When Glenn [Danzig, singer/songwriter] started the Misfits, he mutated the punk sound and image into something darker and more sinister, a punk-metal hybrid that later found bloom in the quiet, boring suburbs of Oslo and the boggy backwaters surrounding Tampa. Punk belonged to the media/celebrity hubs…
Exotic Bedlam A What Youth original short with Dane & Dillon in Indonesia
They went to do airs but the swell grew, and it grew until it washed out all the waves except one, and there were no airs to be done, just this. Bedlam. Filmed by Kai Neville and Mini in Indonesia.

La Goon A What Youth orignial short starring Chippa Wilson
At its core, La Goon is a thoughtful consideration of Western social norms. Chippa, the once-bricklayer made good, still an outsider to the manufactured sheen of south Orange County and its citizens. He seeks out this overlooked reject closeout — a foil for his own character. Losing his nose and surfing anyway is a metaphor…
