Watch Taj Burrow in Indo A What Youth Original presented by VonZipper

Video: what youth

Taj Burrow recently had his first child, a baby girl named Arabella Rose. She’s perfect just like her mommy and daddy. But this piece features the new dad doing what he’s done better than anyone we’ve ever had the pleasure of watching for over two decades: having fun surfing. No one has shown this and reminded us of this more and done it with raw, grace, smiles and passion more than papa Taj. And we fucking love Taj for it. Consider this our own little B-sides tribute to him, maybe riffing on Seven Days, Seven Slaves trip from his youth. But mostly just amping on his enthusiasm and what a rad dad and surfer he is. Thanks Taj.

Office Space: Ben Hatchell When the world’s best rip our office mini presented by Monster

Ben Hatchell looks nice enough. He’s polite, well-mannered and friendly. And then he starts skating and all hell breaks loose. We’re now aware of what may or not be capable of on our office mini and hallway run, because Ben did both. And pulled it all. Ben showed up for a roll around, and in…

Office Space: Sebo Walker An Oregonian did this on our ramp

Sebo Walker is originally from Oregon. And he’s a bit of a jock. Did all the sports growing up including soccer, scootering, baseball — and lucky for us, skateboarding was the one that stuck. He moved to California to pursue skateboarding and we were lucky enough to have him come by and skate our new mini. In this…

Office Space: Sal Barbier Skate royalty on our mini ramp

Sal Barbier came by to skate other day. You’ll remember Sal from being the dude with the best selling skate shoe ever. Or maybe for the day he took us and his jump ramp to the streets of Santa Monica. He’s truly an all-around skateboarding legend and someone we like having around. Not to mention the way…

Postcard Oregon A film by Quiksilver and What Youth starring Mikey Wright, Bryan Fox and Javier Mendizabal 

Maybe it was an experiment, or maybe it just happened. But whatever the case may be: we ended up in Oregon, on a big hill, blitzing down it — and at another point we were were surfing in front of a forest, and then we were in a city. We were a lot of things,…

We got a new ramp: The Hager Brothers Cody and Jared came in one day, saw our tiny mini ramp, tore it out and upgraded our office in a big way. A few days later, it’s live. And to get a handle on what’s possible on it, we invited Curren Caples over for a quick…
