MINDTAI.TV: Stealing From The City

Here's a recent skate edit I cooked up with da boyz at Mindtai, give 'er a froth mates! 

The crew at MiNDTAi is proud to announce the launch of MiNDTAi.TV. A homegrown video station that will kick you in the face and leave you scratching for more. Stealing From The City is our first mind-altering presentation, so kick-back and enjoy yourself, this one’s on MiNDTAi.
As kids, we were always figuring out ways to piss off the public and do exactly what we wanted, most of the time that meant skating whenever and wherever we damn-well pleased. After skating at the park all day everyday, we discovered we could unplug the vending machines and plug in our own flood lights to light up the park after dark and score sessions all to ourselves. Overtime the cops caught on and started to write us tickets for “stealing electricity from the city.” This only scared us off for so long… One night under the full moon in late February, we (the MindTai boys) decided to head out under the bright moonlight and score our favorite local skate park with no one out. After a brief spliff session we quickly set up the lights and got to skating. Throughout the session there were thoughts about the pigs spoiling all the fun, but it never happened. Only an all-time session with our best friends and a couple randoms that saw the lights from afar. Here’s the result of that epic night…

Surf Ambassador Hendo - Nu Disco Your Disco Exclusive Mix (April 13)

Now that the days are getting longer, the water's getting warmer, and everyone's starting to shed layers of clothing here in California, I couldn't think of a better time than now to deliver this exclusive mix for one of my favorite music sources over at Nu Disco Your Disco. Jam packed with funky nu disco/80s-style grooves that would even have Zack Morris doing the beachside macarena, I made this mix with thoughts of deserted beaches, palm trees, DeLoreans, tropical wax, mojitos, bell-bottoms, and all things radical. The album art is a photo of Pipeline (North Shore, Hawaii) that I took during my stay there this winter and serves as a constant reminder of how truly inspirational and roots the ocean is. Sending you lots of sunshine and plenty o' froth, I hope this mix finds you well! Cheers & Aloha Mates!

2013 Volcom Pipe Pro

Hot Off the Bus and Just Off the Jet, I'm back on the mainland and as frothy and surf stoked as ever.  For my second North Shore voyage, I partook in various audio/visual/disco activities for the 2013 Volcom Pipe Pro.  As per usual, the waves were epic and the competition was fierce.  After 3 glorious days of varying conditions and plenty o' tubes, king John John Florence was crowned champion yet again and lay stake to his oh-so-comfy throne!  Check out the highlights below and prepare for what will be one of the most interesting WCT years we've had in a while!


Finalists: Wardo, Ola, Kerrzy, JJF

John John Florence Wins it again!

Clubfeet - Everything You Wanted

Hey friends and greetings from Hawaii (round deuce). As the rain fell here last night and I overheard similar things in the land of LA-LA, it seems as though summer couldn't be any further away - but that all quickly changed once I heard Clubfeet's latest track called "Everything You Wanted" off their second album. Something about the epic synths and powerful chorus brings me back to simpler days under the sun, on the roof, at the beach, myrt on one side and brewski and boards on the other, pretty much everything you wanted...
