Chapter 7 from the Airstrike boat trip in Indonesia. What Youth was along to document the project, and in this series we show and tell about the modern flight that took place there.

The series will be capped in August with four video shorts produced by Kai Neville. The trip's best air, as judged by the public at summer's end, will win fifty thousand dollars from the Kustom account.

  • High-tops and low surf.
  • Craig expressing facially.
  • Dion shot Craig knee-deep in the shore break, as a diversion.
  • Dion, Dane and the right board. Unfortunately.
  • Well, look at you.
  • Dunedin produced friends, friends, friends. New friends. New friends everywhere and all the time. Friendly friends. Fanatical friends.

  • Skate strum shoot at the boardwalk three-stair across from the house.
  • Only for so long.
  • Dane's the only one not on an Apple device in this photo.
  • Eventually they turn to a brick of tins, a box of bottles, and tomorrow's another day.

Once one person starts to lose it, everybody starts to lose it.”

On day one the group flew out of Auckland to the South Island, to a college town where they’d be staying, down near the bottom of the world. Down by Antarctica.

They drove to the beach to check the waves and right away, new local friends appeared to say hello.

Dane said, “Hi, I’m Dane.”

“No fucking shit you are!” a kid told him. New Zealand really loved Dane, like a lot.

But the waves didn’t seem to. The sandbars [...]

He wore Wranglers. Navy blue. A straw cowboy hat and a plaid button-down over a plain white Volcom tee. And boots. Real, honest-to-God, brown leather cowboy boots.

After flying direct from Minneapolis, Minnesota — where he went for three days of intense rehab (the doctors claimed Dusty packed about six weeks of therapy into three days of work on his mangled ankle) — Dusty Payne arrived to meet up with me and Blair Marlin for the Tim McGraw/Kenny Chesney concert [...]
