Throwback Thursday: All Yew – Shapers

Since we're thinking a lot about shapers this week, we're pulling out two stellar shaping sessions from our All Yew series for this Throwback Thursday. First up, we have Tyler Warren shaping a "bar of soap" – a 4'10" Simmons-inspired planing hull.

Next up is Josh Hall making a 5'10" quad for speed, drive and maneuverability for the beaches of San Diego, CA.

How to Get Started Filmmaking with Kaius Potter

How to Get Started Filmmaking with Kaius Potter

Kaius Potter is one of those people whose enthusiasm is infectious. He's a young filmmaker from Byron Bay, New South Wales, so it's no surprise that he's deeply embedded in surf culture. But by young I mean 17, so it is a bit of a surprise that he's come this far already. He's experimenting with film without any formal training, but the trial-and-error method seems to be working just fine for...

Intentio // Film Review

Intentio // Film Review

The independent surf film Intentio, by Loïc Wirth has been out since 2012 with steady attention being directed its way throughout the year. One of our readers got in touch to share a brief review he did on the film, and since we haven't been able to catch it in any festivals, we thought it might be helpful to know some details before deciding to purchase a copy.

Q&A: Where is my office now?

Meet Corey Smith and Emily King. They are a couple, they live in their van and they work on the road. We came across their website Where is My Office Now? and decided to get in touch for some details on their completely mobile life. Of this whole living-and-working-out-of-a-van project, they say: "This is an experiment. It’s an inquiry into a lifestyle created by the merging of...

Exhibitionists: Jack Ryan

Art can be anywhere, everywhere. Jack Ryan puts his on your feet. And in your ears. He is a young artist in the San Diego area, hustling through many different kinds of art. He spends most of his time drawing flowers on shoes, which has gotten him noticed by Toms and Keds. 

But he splits his time between that and making "chill beats." He's shared his favorite one to accompany this gallery...
