FAIRLY NORMAL: JACK FREESTONE A WHAT YOUTH ORIGINAL SERIES

The perfect day with Jack Freestone: a coffee, shit-talking, a fun surf at D-Bah, lunch, shit-talking resumes, another really fun surf at Kirra, a beer on the veranda, barbecue. Fin!

And while we're certain you've probably seen Coolangatta a fair number of times, this is definitely a fresh look at the town that raised Mick, Joel, Dean and is now grooming the next crop of show-runners which includes Jack Freestone. We tagged along with Jack and friends as they shredded through what we'd consider to be the perfect day at home in this episode of Fairly Normal. [...]

SINCERELY, SUBURBIA A WHAT YOUTH ORIGINAL FILM

Sincerely Suburbia is our final salute to a film and a moment in time we're rather fond of. And damn is it a pretty little thing. Shot around the globe in 2012, this is an almost 10-minute film pulled from the Dear Suburbia cutting room floor. But being that Kai is notoriously picky during editing his films, it doesn't feel like an after thought at all. It stars Dane Reynolds, Kolohe Andino, Conner Coffin, Jay Davies and Mitch Coleborn with cameos by Kelly Slater, Taj Burrow and Cory Lopez.  [...]

PHOTOS FROM SINCERELY SUBURBIA TAKEN DURING FILMING FOR THE WHAT YOUTH FILM SINCERELY SUBURBIA

Kai is notoriously picky when it comes to clips that make it into his film. His cutting room floor is filled with puddles of banger clips and rad shit that just doesn't fit into the films. Which is a bummer, but only until he releases stuff like this. Tomorrow we'll be premiering Sincerely Suburbia, the final farewell to an incredible film, year and chapter in our lives.

So as we sign off from this chapter and film with Sincerely Suburbia, we'd like to remind you that this is the beginning of the most exciting part of what we do: hitting the road and starting all over again. Which we're doing immediately, already filling hard drives with visions of late nights and long flight and tons of surfing. Don't forget to come along every day, right here at What Youth. After the jump you'll enjoy an overwhelming amount of images shot by Nate Lawrence, Dion Agius and Craig Anderson. [...]

SINCERELY, SUBURBIA COMING TO WHAT YOUTH NEXT WEEK

In celebration of Dear Suburbia's success in 2012 (2012 Surfer Poll Film of the Year, Dane Reynolds' Performance of the Year etc), Kai has made a beautiful sign off short film called Sincerely, Suburbia that we'll be premiering only on What Youth next week. Kai is notoriously picky and critical when editing his films and the amount of rad stuff left on the cutting room floor is crazy. We're quite certain you'll enjoy it.

It will be the final sign off from Dear Suburbia and will signify the end of that film and the beginning of Kai and What Youth's next run of films, projects, magazines and trips and what promises to be a wild and lucky 2013. [...]

I USED TO RIDE BAREBACK THE HOUSE AND HOME AND SURFING OF JAY DAVIES, WEST AUSTRALIAN
Halfway between Yallingup, where Taj Burrow's from, and a town called Dunsborough, there's a cottage tucked into the bush where Jay Davies lives alone.

Men in London and New York and Los Angeles, with fine suits and big salaries, have breakdowns and leave it all behind to find what Jay has here. From his veranda you [...]
