What Youth || Vinho Verde

Really good surfing in the oldest world of Portugal with Mitch Coleborn, Soli Bailey, Mitch Crews and Dusty Payne.
  Vinho Verde is actually white wine. But the bottle in green and the taste is terrific. And in Portugal, you can drink with any and every meal you choose. It accents buttery white fish perfectly. Post surf in Portugal, few things sound better. And as you’ll see here in this new short starring Mitch, Soli, Crewsy and Dusty, Portugal is plentiful in waves. Rocks and coves litter the coast with setups. And before a recent contest, these four wandered around to rip in a place that I can’t rave about enough — mostly because I don’t want any of you to know how good it is. But after watching this, the cat might be out of the bag.—Travis

What Youth || Fairly Normal || Austyn Gillette

He was almost a hockey player. “I played a lot of ice hockey growing up actually. Then my brother and I got skateboards for Christmas one year and that was that.” Mere inches from a totally different existence. “One of my best friends growing up was just drafted by the Detroit Red Wings actually, so he’s pretty dialed.”
But instead of another Red Wing we got the kind of professional skateboarder who’s often hailed as the hands-down favorite of his peers: A lethal combination of style, technical prowess and the most precise bit of fuck-it, all baked in to produce what has become the new elite in modern skateboarding.

Stab In The Dark || Dane Reynolds And The World's Best Surfboard

Is it possible to call a surfboard, or a shaper, the best in the world? There’s no way to answer either of these questions definitively… But, we can get damn close. How? By commissioning 13 of the world’s best shapers to deliver their top line, high performance boards (sans any recognisable logos), and having one of the world’s best high performance surfers test-drive them. The catch? Neither shapers nor surfer knew the others’ identity. No logos, no brand association, no preconceived notions: Just one of the world’s best surfers and a pile of nameless magic. Is it a flawed concept? Absolutely. But, it is the least subjective platform we’ve got.

Dane Reynolds || Chapter 11

It’s no secret that Dane Reynolds and Quiksilver parted ways on less than amicable terms, and here’s Dane’s side of the story. The surfing’s vintage Reynolds, and was all filmed in the last year post-Quik. Surfing’s rife for a shakeup, and Reynolds is just the man to do it once again. In a world that’s increasingly vanilla, there’ll always be a place for mach ten surfing and unfiltered opinion. Dane Reynolds, once again, a breath of fiery fresh air.

Lust for Life || A Skateboard Film

There are (sub)cultures where all that matters is where you come from, what you do and what your status is. With skateboarding all of that falls away--your social class, your job, the part of town you're from--the only thing that matters is if you have enough lust for life and skateboarding to get back up and try and ride those stairs again for the 18th time.

I guess that's the thing that connects us, skateboarders--lust for...well, life. These are the people that we maybe met years ago at a skate competition, haven't seen in ages and yet they feel like old friends when we reunite for a session after years (and countries) away. These are the people that continue to throw us out of the nest to keep us on our toes and alive but at the same time help us grow and expand in dimensions we never thought we could.

To skate, to connect, to pick each other up when things get tough but at the same time take everything with a grain of salt and a smile on our faces, that's what this is all about.

He proceeds to calmly climb to the highest diving board, pausing before he performs a perfect swan dive into the water below, splashing his iPhone in the process.  

Watch the spot below.
