Watch: “Form” The latest from Parallel Sea

When the best surfer in the world’s film production company drops a reel, you watch it. When the surfer is John Florence, and the production company is Parallel Sea, you clear some time and give it a proper once over. Simply, their collective creative achievement to date proceeds them making everything they do these days…

Watch: “Down For This” Celebrating 3 Decades of Stone

We kinda missed this when it dropped a few days ago. At 1 hour 30 minutes, it’s a bit long, truth be told, so none of us sat through the whole thing at one time. But, we’ve undoubtedly seen most of this when it originally dropped. Ya see, this is a wrap up, culmination-type deal…

Watch: “Von Froth” Crazy Nazaré

As I’m sure we’ve all seen by now, Nazaré went XXL, again. The crazy part being that we’ve almost become numb to it as each swell seems a bit bigger, with more people are out there charging the largest sets, and they are riding deeper than ever. Nic Von Rupp added, “Last weekend was insane,…

Take Five: EP 28 It’s on our watch

As surfers, we often hear stories about various coastal erosion issues simply because that’s where we roll. But it’s also because we are often witness to the various effects coastal erosion has on our everyday lives in general.

Some of the most timeless surf photos don’t have a rider of any sort. In this version of Photo Credit, we highlight the work of Brandon Sears, who specializes…

Watch: “This is Livin” Backdoor Shootout Opening Ceremony

In this episode on Koa Rothman’s “This is Livin” we get an inside look at the very underground but super authentic opening ceremony of Da Hui’s Backdoor Shootout, which is currently taking place at Pipe. Tons of swell, great format, etc. One on the best non-WSL events running these days. As is the norm on…

Watch “Frisbee Shmizbee” The latest from Cola Bros

So, where do we start? Within our office, the Cola Bros vlog is right up there in watchability. Every episode is played and replayed upon release, for the great surfing of course but also the comedic hi-jinks which are interjected. And, rightfully so to a bunch of young ‘uns as Crosby, Griffin, and the boys…

Watch: Von Froth’s “Greatest Hits” It was a very good year

If you follow What Youth to any degree, you would know that we’ve been backing Nic Von Rupp since we proclaimed him as “surfing’s hardest working man,” a few years back. Well, before that, but you know what we mean. Be it cold water slabs in Ireland, Ments perfection, massive Nazaré teepees, or just down…
