A little espresso. A small bottle of Mexican cola. And away we went. Kolohe hobbled into the brand new Zebra House Café in San Clemente with me last week. He wore Oakleys and they dangled from a pair of Croakies. He had on one sandle and he was on crutches. His left foot in a [...]

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 [...]

At its core, La Goon is a thoughtful consideration of Western social norms. Chippa, the once-bricklayer made good, still an outsider to the manufactured sheen of south Orange County and its citizens. He seeks out this overlooked reject closeout — a foil for his own character. Losing his nose and surfing anyway is a metaphor for [...]

Go outside. End some tyranny. Ride a wave.

Firecrackers.

 

(Those not celebrating the fourth are invited to view good surfing from the Gold Coast instead.)

There are other waves in California besides Lowers and Salt Creek. Just like there's four other Olson kids besides Mary Kate and Ashley. Apparently.

Dear Suburbia, will world premiere August 2nd during the US Open of Surfing and it’s shaping up to be quite the piece of celluloid. A few weeks ago, Kai loaded up his PA Blake Myers, about 20 hard drives, a few bottles of wine, a bounty of Coors Light, and one too many Harmony Korine [...]

On a sunny day in Los Angeles, we drove to Griffith Park and spent an afternoon with professional skateboarder Alex Olson. Alex is someone we appreciate because he cares. He cares about skate culture. He cares about surf culture. And he gives a shit about what's currently happening to both. Hit play. Have a think. [...]

Hover for words and photos by Dion Agius

At the end of a trip that saw low and strange days, then high times and fine waves, Dion took some pictures on his Canon AE-1. They're portraits on film: Craig Anderson, Conner Coffin, Dane Reynolds and more good friends.

Three exposures from the roll are Craig. One of those ended up on the cover of What Youth Quarterly, Issue One. Here are some of the others, with words from the photographer.
