NXT 
I went on a bit of a rant the other night over chips and salsa regards to how gnarly Jay Davies is at surfing. After watching enough slogging on the WQS webcasts to last me a few lifetimes, I needed to see something to get me psyched and remind me that we still have cowboys ripping in the wild. I needed to see Jay Davies surf.
Jay rides the tube right up there with anyone on the planet. Does massive airs. And has a rad style to accompany with it. Only problem, he loves his home in Western Australia and shouldn’t and doesn’t leave often. And who could blame him? Men in London and New York and Los Angeles, with fine suits and big salaries, have breakdowns and leave it all behind to find what Jay has. From his veranda you can sit and throw a rock at all that’s right with Western Australia, the waves, the wine, wide open space.
So, we give you a quick reminder not to forget the wild west and the cowboys who live there.

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…

“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…

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…
