NXT 
We had a dream too. It was to bring together two of our favorite surfers — Ozzie Wright, the trippy gothic pirate hippie goon of doom who’s generally wandering the globe sliding across rocks and airing off anything he can find and Owen Wright, the ASP World Title contender, and freesurfing wizard with an artistic infatuation for claws — together in one place. And we wanted to document it, always and forever.
Owen Wright told me that he was once called “Ozzie Wright” by announcer Rockin’ Fig for an entire U.S. Open of Surfing when he was a grom. Which just made this so much better. In our first episode of what will very unofficially become a new series starring our two favorite modern goofyfoots, we go to Bali, give them some pens to draw claws with and a pretty damn good left to get into and let them freestyle the rest.
Be sure to check out What Youth Issue 3, on sale tomorrow lovers!! for some more very candid conversations and photos from the art sessions between these two.

Eric Dressen’s Salad Bowl in Christiania We threw a party where there aren’t any rules. This is that.
Christiania is in Copenhagen. It is a largely self governed neighborhood of CPH, and hidden inside is a very fun bowl to skate. We joined up with Eric Dressen, the CPH Pro dudes and Monster to throw an event and bowl jam at the Wonderland Skate Bowl. And when you throw a party in a…

Watch Rasta and Ozzie rip in Australia Poetic and reckless ripping presented by Sanuk
There was jazz in the water. We walked up to a famed (and notoriously sharky) Australian point break to meet up wit Rasta and Ozzie — who were already in the water. The wind was onshore, but the sand was good and rights were pouring in. The lineup was littered with whitecaps, but then two…
Take the day off with Noz Noa Deane takes us through Coolangatta and bets on the dogs
Noa surfed Snapper for 6 hours this day. Dodging “blow ins” and slotting into dreamy Greenmount pits all morning. But then we picked him up and said, “Now what?” Noa took us to his local pub The Sands for some pokies and dog races. A couple beers and a quick loop through Coolangatta.
Watch Chippa Wilson ride a “Duo” Shaped by Kirra legend Neal Purchase Jr. and presented by Stance
When he pulled it out of his truck it looked like a mistake. Interesting, but definitely a mistake. More of a novelty board you’d ride on long beach days to make your friends scratch their heads. Not to do what Chippa Wilson does on this Gold Coast pointbreak. Surreal, refreshing lines with an altogether new-found…
