It is the foundation the beginning and the end."

Please Stay Positive || Jeremy Flores

At only 18, Jeremy Flores was the youngest surfer to be on the WCT, the world's surfing elite. Surrounded by a team of professionals and an entire nation, Jeremy even won the most prestigious of competitions, at Pipeline Hawaii, in 2010. But the pressure, criticism, and his fiery temperament eroded little by little his hopes of becoming world champion.

At the end of his tether, on July 13, 2014 at JBay in South Africa, after losing a heat, Jeremy Flores immediately contested his score with the judges, in what was deemed a verbal assault by the World Surfing League. As a result of his actions, Flores received a one-month ban from the competition for bringing the sport into disrepute. This film was shot during his hiatus in Tahiti.

Nowadays, Jeremy Flores has rediscovered what he loves doing most in the world - surfing. Sebastien Zanella, the editor of Desillusion Magazine, followed the man during his forced holiday break, resulting in an outstanding documentary "From Hell to Heaven", an atmospheric peer-review where Jeremy tells his story, with no concessions.

MR PORTER || A Saturday With: California Tattoo Artist Dr. Woo

Not sure what you got up to last Saturday, but I definitely didn’t get out of bed at the crack of dawn to feed my adorable kid, then get on a motorbike and ride around Los Angeles before clocking in at my famous tattoo parlor to ink a bunch of people with my artwork for life. Pretty sure I didn’t actually stand up vertically till after noon. On the other hand, everybody’s favorite tattoo artist, Dr. Woo, seems like a productive guy.

 The folk over at Mr Porter have followed him around with a camera, and captured a great little day-in-the-life short of his weekend.
