“I put in a snowboard video, Dead Kennedys started playing super fucking loud, there was some dude driving a VW Thing through some dirt parking lot, doing fucking donuts, and then the first shot is of a guy going like a million miles an hour down a hill, he eats shit and rag dolls like 50 times and I’m like “This is the coolest shit I’ve ever seen in my life. It had nothing to do with me understanding it, it just had to do with the fact that I watched it, I had never been snowboarding at that point — I don’t even think I had ever seen snow, but I was like, this is fucking awesome. It was like I want this, you know? Whatever this is. But these days I would not be a kid and watch the Olympics or the WSL and want anything to do with it. I’d watch that shit and I’d be like, “Who the fuck are these nerd commentators with their stupid flower shirts saying a bunch of dumb weird slogans about doing a turn? I just think its been so homogenized and made for the masses that if I was a kid I would think its wack.” – Bryan Fox via What Youth.

The picturesque urban environment of Finland plays host t0 the Strangebrew crew of America, and what a site it is.
Last winter, the squad left their van on North American soil and boarded a plane for Scandinavia, heading to Finland to meet up with fellow Rome Snowboards rider, Toni Kerkela in his hometown, Jyvaskyla. Riley Nickerson, Jasper Tripp, Keenan Cawley, and Ian Daly quickly adjusted to the Finnish version of their usual grind, trading in Coors for cans of Karhu and hunting down steel set ups around the city. – Snowboarder.com
There aren’t too many people in the world who can say their ‘How-To’ video for making a cheeseburger has over a million views on Youtube. But then again, not everyone is Matty Matheson. Last year Matty burst into our lounges with his hilarious and delicious take on an American classic. He followed this up with the launch of his…
Fast moving rights on the Moroccan coastline mixed with the 12 o’clock Boys from Baltimore provide the setting and the inspiration for ‘Boiler Boys’
~ Boilers is the most consistent wave in the popular surf region of taghazout, morocco. a boiler deposited in the lineup from a shipwreck marks the takeoff spot, hence the name ‘boilers.’ there’s a group of fisherman who live just above the high tide line in some jenky rooms built in to the cliff that someone told us they call ‘the boiler boys.’ whether or not this is true is irrelevant… despite it’s pretty water color and scenic lanscape, ‘boilers’ is far from perfect. the reef is uneven and the crowd is thick making it hard to feel any rhythm while surfing. basically, in short, it’s fun but it’s not the wave you go there for, so after a few underwhelming swells for the first 10 days of our 2 week trip, ‘boiler boys’ was a sarcastic sentiment we’d use for surfing ~ ‘where should we surf this afternoon?’ ‘boiler boys!’ as if there was another option… we were the boiler boys… then,,, finally the swell came together and we got what we came for.
