Kai Neville is about to release his new What Youth full length feature film titled Dear Suburbia: And Excursion Into The Absurfa. The title kind of reminds us of those girls on Instagram who describe themselves as quirky or weird. Nonetheless, Dear Suburbia is destined to be the it, now, happening, thing because it features all the cool kids: Dane Reynolds, John John Florence, Yadin Nicol, Kolohe Andino, Conner Coffin, Craig Anderson, Mitch Coleborn, Dion Agius, Evan Geiselman, Chippa Wilson, Dillon Perillo, Jack Freestone, and Taj Burrow.
Anyone missing? Yeah, a couple. Oh well. If you’re in SoCal you can see the grand premiere live at The Strand in Huntington Beach, California on August 2, 2012. For all the details, click the link.
Sometimes ultra realism isn’t exactly what we’re all after with video games. And nothing in Party Wave is realistic, however, it is fun in a crazy, overly animated Japanese video game way. Party Wave was developed by Hironobu Sakaguchi, the creator of the massively popular Final Fantasy series, according to a post on Kotaku.
The object is to ride waves, avoid sea life, and to get a bunch of surfers to pull off tricks without wiping out. The wave riding took some getting used so to get maximum points and pull off tricks.
Girls in bikinis, butts in closeup, bare backs and Jack Freestone, Ian Gentil, Peterson Crisanto, and Ruan Callinan surfing. It appears someone has done their market research. Either way it’s 24 minutes of surf bliss.
It’s a superstar episode of the Weekend Buzz as Street League Arizona winner (and X Games gold medalist) Paul Rodriguez and Shane O’Neill convince Erica Yary and Rob Brink to take their show on the road to P-Rod’s training facility in Canoga Park, California. There’s more and it’s good.
Not that we’re on any kind of Vans kick today, but old guys are going to love this Vans x Skateboarding Magazine collaboration. Trust us. We know some.
Federico “Kikas” Morais just dropped a little clip “filmed entirely in Australia.” The clip features gulls, kangaroos, and Sheilas, but no shrimp, no barbies, and no Oi Ois.
As a little reminder from Boardworld and Olliepop Films, if it’s summer in the Northern Hemisphere, it must be wintering up in the Southern. Well, at least a little bit. It’s always fun watching someone else ride the white ribbon of death, especially in July. Oi Mate.
Not sure if you’re up for an art overdose this morning? You might want to back off on this collaboration between Desillusion Magazine, Raen Optics, and RVCA. It is titled This Is Alex and it’s a profile of Alex Knost. Here’s what they say:
Hailing from Costa Mesa, California, Alex Knost certainly stands out of the crowd; a worthy heir to a surf culture that’s made up of pioneers, and numerous creative artists. After having followed in the footsteps of his spiritual big brother, Joel Tudor, Alex became in turn one of the best long boarders in the world, paddling his way to the front of the scene, in a counter culture that we thought was drowning under the waves of an extremely lucrative economy- surf industry. Almost uncatchable, the man flits like a butterfly from one art to the next (from photography to video, board shapes to music) trying to, like he says “lose himself in anything he does, hoping to exceed the limits that society has set him”.
See what we mean about the art overdose? Either way, it’s quality video work and Knost is a compelling subject.
Ambsn’s new Holiday 2012 lookbook features a tent camper and his long, dusty hike to the beach. Along the way his clothes magically switch up at every turn. It’s almost like they planned it that way just so they could show off all their new clothes.
