A couple of years ago Dane Reynolds tucked his left knee while doing an air in Mexico. We’d never seen a surfer do it like that. And I remember Curren Caples — who was probably 15 at the time — was one of the first people to say that it was one of the first airs in a long time that a skater would appreciate. Since then, surfing and skating have begun to intertwine here and there, with at least a layer of appreciation exposed. Curren is one of this generation most stylish hybrids to emerge from this old romance. More professionally known as a skateboarder, Curren has a distinctly poetic and tweaked style in transition and has developed his street skating in recent years as seen in his Flip 3 part. He surfs extremely well and it’s fascinating to watch the different approaches he brings to each. An ode to Nathan Fletcher’s ability in surfing and skating, using them to influence the other. Whatyouth.

041 | Drive across Australia.

#inspiration
Creed McTaggart’s a student of Australian surf culture, and, as any keen student knows, if you really want an authentic experience, then you’ve got to hit the road. After finally getting his licence, Creed picked a Toyota Land Cruiser from the classifieds of the local newspaper, scooped up brother in arms Beau Foster, filmmaker Toby Cregan and photographer Duncan Macfarlane, and hit the red dust east in search of surf and the Australian dream. The loose plan was to drive from Creed’s family home in Margaret River, to his adopted habitat in Byron Bay. Whether the boys realised quite how far this was (5,000km in a straight line) is at this stage unknown. Adventure.

040 | My old man.

Shane Dorian has faced some of the most dangerous waves in the world, is an avid hunter and considers himself most in his element when outdoors. And for his son, Jackson, Dorian is passing on the same appreciation for the wild that comes with an endless spirit of outdoor exploration. See the entire My Old Man series here.

039 | Deus 9ft and single.

So you missed the four-day party bender that was the Deus 9ft & Single presented by SWELL. From bodysurfing contests, to shaping forums, to single-fin shootouts and everything in between, it was a fine way to spend an extended weekend. Whether the waves come to the table at these kind of events can mean the difference between an exciting performance or a drinking marathon, and in this case it was a mixture of the two.

034 | Where is Alfredo Gonzales.

#work
With two campers we drove south to shoot the new campaign for our brand Alfredo Gonzales. On our way to the south of France we picked up someone that would because or now friend, Marissa Papen, who is killing it on Instagram and after we approached her immediately said yes to join a bunch of strangers in campers shooting their new sock collection. Road tripping’ is what we all love and so we blended the passion for the road and called the new campaign “Where is Alfredo”. The search was on to find the Mexican legend and shoot while searching. We heard rumors of him being in Paris and shot the Pencil collection meanwhile. When we got further south we focus on camping, hipster hikes, and surf. Two weeks and a lot of rain that the Basque country needs to feed the amazing green hills. Great vibes together with Ivo de Bruijn we shot the photos (below only my own images), Hugo Happel and Dennis Ebeli focused on the production of the shoot and the Art Direction and made sure we never lacked on coffee and burgers. Road trip video by Off The Richter. Great memories and images. And readers, know that I’m always ready for the road.

Another creative perspective by Zac Turgeon who knows his angles.

www.instagram.com/zacturgeon/ C'est quelques heures seulement avant mon vol pour l'Indonésie que j'ai finalement pris ma décision: je vais amener avec moi mes seuls objets de valeurs que je possède: Mon Laptop et ma caméra. Je me suis dit: Hey, se faire voler ou briser de l'équipement, ça arrive juste aux autres... Quel imbécile j'étais. Trois semaines après mon arrivée j'ai dû regarder un jeune thaï (non-anglophone) démonter ma caméra en petites pièces pour régler mon problème. Une des rares fois dans ma vie et j'ai cru que mon coeur allait s'arrêter. Amener ma caméra 35mm a sans doute été la meilleure décision que j'ai prise. Malgré que l'équipement digital est au coeur de mon travail, j'ai toujours trouvé que le résultat d'une bonne photo à film ne sera jamais égalée par n'importe quelle nouvelle technologie. Le mélange entre les deux nous donne de quoi de vraiment pas pire. Jugez donc par vous-même!

A Film By John Florence & Blake Vincent Kueny in Association With Brain Farm. "View From A Blue Moon", the first surf film shot in 4K, View From A Blue Moon follows the world's most dynamic surfer John Florence and his closest friends from his home on the North Shore of Oahu to his favorite surfing destinations around the globe. From the dreamy blue perfection of the South Pacific to the darkest uncharted waters of Africa (and everywhere in between), Florence faces a broad spectrum of emotions as he continues to seal his legacy as one of the most gifted surfers ever. And while the young Hawaiian is pulled in increasingly different directions, there is no form of pressure that will keep him from his ultimate goal - to redefine what is possible in the ocean.

Wherever you are in the world, on whatever day at some point the sun also rises. Narrated by Burgs a spiritual teacher, connecting concentration and mindfulness. I’ve spent time in meditation with Rin Poche (one of Burgs principle teachers) and through daily conscious living I’m trying to connect with what Burgs talks about here. I find myself so busy yet with so many wonderful things surrounding me I often forget to sit still and watch the birds, so this mediation is a reminder for all to sit and appreciate our incredible world. Matt Smith.

For more on these guys visit: https://soundcloud.com/mtwolf  http://theartofmeditation.org  --- I think if I could get you to do one thing, if I could get you to do one thing. I would say when you get to the point when you feel highly motivated towards keeping your virtue, then you’ll discover quite quickly just how extraordinary, a life could be. And it’s just we get so messy, it’s not were doing lots of wrong things, our minds are so messy, we don’t keep it simple, we end up making the life that we are living so inordinately complicated, and it’s such a shame to end up feeling in a real muddle, when actually you ought to be having the time of your life.  Its doesn’t take very much to get the deepest part of us completely happy, just be here to appreciate being here,  Feel that you are alive, be in touch with your heart, thats it. That’s it.  It takes, mindfulness to come to a human life. And then above that it takes mindfulness and virtue to come to a fortunate human life.  The chance to be a part of this happens briefly, the invitation is not to show how inventive and imaginative you are but how much you can notice what you are already part of. And appreciate it and share it, and care about those that are around you, look out for their welfare, while you are looking out for your own. That’s it. And then you will get to the end of it having had an awesome time, knowing that it was something you would recommend to others.  You all know, this place inside where it’s all right, you all know that when you let it go further it’s not this black hole. Yet the world is creaking under the strain of this inordinately complicated mass of humanity, and actually it is really simple. When you came down here, we came here with a sense of awe and wonder, dying to just see whats it’s all about. You know it’s like what will it be like to be down there, to be a part of it. And it came with a sense of wonder and somehow, the wonder of it wasn’t enough, or we stopped wondering about it and started wondering about yourself.  And in your wondering about yourself you forgot what you came here for, what you came to be apart of.  Burgs. —- If anyone is in Ireland and wants to visit us for some concentrations and mindfulness contact me at st.matthewsmith@gmail.com or visit www.growing.ie for more information about sustainable living.  -

Words and video by Leonardo Dalessandri. "Over than 3500 km traveled in 20 days, capturing landscapes from the bluish tones of Pamukkale to the warm ones of Cappadocia, the all passing by a great variation of colors, lights and weathers through six other cities. I've crossed Cappadocia, Pamukkale, Ephesus, Istanbul, Konya; and tasted baklava, kunefe, doner, the turkish tea; and got the chance to meet the soul of Turkey, its people.. and got their smiles and their hospitality. This is Turkey lived by me from north to south, and I hope you enjoy it".

026 | Building everyone's dream.

#inspiration
In the Spring of 2014 a small group of close friends broke ground on a building project in Skamania County, Washington in the Columbia River Gorge. Their primary endeavour was a multi-platform tree house, but also included a skate bowl and a wood fired soaking tub as well. The crew came from all over the country and from a variety of backgrounds. Some were professional carpenters, others learned on the job, gaining experience along the way. The Cinder Cone is Foster Huntington’s short film that documents this year-long process of building his dream home with this community of tight knit friends. A Farm League Original. Directed by Foster Huntington. Edited by Jess Gibson.
