Hurley One and Only

Conner — Fri, 24 May 2013 05:26:18 +0000

Hurley has been doing a series of videos titled “one and only.” Perry and I have worked on mine over the last few weeks and I’m pretty pumped on how it turned out. It’s mostly just some random bits and pieces of footage that we accumulated over the little while. Some Hawaii leftovers, a lowers session and then a quick Tahiti trip. The song is by a local Carpinteria band called Pleasure. They shred.

Bloopers

I had a pretty interesting session last night. The waves were really fun but it was really crowded and really back washy. It made for some great wipe out moments. Here’s a few bloopers.

I was digging through our vimeo archives and I came across this video. Three years ago I had an impacted canine tooth removed from the roof of my mouth. They put me out and apparently used some good stuff to do it with. Parker proceeded to film the aftermath and got quite a kick out of it. Enjoy.

I was feeling somewhat inspired the other day and took the afternoon to paint two fresh boards. I was quite pleased with the turn out! yehhawwww. Get some paint and go to town on your next board!We especially dig the Montana Gold spray paint…

Goofy Foot Power Psyche

Just hanging out at home doing some of my last little bit of schoolwork for the year and started thinking about surfing… Next thing you know I’m watching old videos of Occy rip the lip off of poor waves heads. When boredom strikes, give yourself a little Goofy Foot Power Psyche and get motivated to destroy lips like Occy. This is my favorite Occy clip because it just shows how well rounded his career has been. Occy at J-Bay is pretty much unbelievable… Do yourself a favor and watch the below video.

Tail of the Week Contest!!!!

Be our tail of the week!!!!!

Today is Monday and Monday is usually a good day to post a new Tail of the Week. But, this week we thought we might do things a little bit differently. We want you girls out there to send us submissions for tail of the week so that we can make you our girl for the week, or maybe two weeks or maybe even month. haha. Please make the photos be of you and not some internet fantasy girl (it would probably help if you were wearing one of our t-shirts… hahah).

Email your photos to youngwisetails@yahoo.com and we’ll pick the winner in two weeks (May 28th). For now, one photo for kicks.

The Stones Concert

Conner — Mon, 13 May 2013 06:14:16 +0000

On May 3rd we went and saw the Rolling Stones at the Staples center. It was such an incredible show that we were all left pretty much lost for words when people asked us how it was. The best explanation I could give was that it was nearly life changing and definitely one of the coolest things i’ve ever been to. They may be 70, but they are still rockin harder than any band out there. They perform so well and it is so rad getting to see them interact with one another on stage. We had an amazing night and have been buzzing ever since. Such a rad experience. If you have the opportunity to see them, it is worth every penny. Here are a few photos and a video of them performing Jumpin jack flash back in the 70′s (my personal favorite).

CC Handshape

Remember that weird looking hunk of shaped foam that I posted a photo of a while back? Well I took that crude looking thing into the Channel Islands surfboard factory and had them glass it. I couldn’t decide whether to put 1 2 3 4 or 5 fins on it so I thought I’dd just keep it simple and put 1. I asked for a red resin tint that turned out slightly pink. I don’t mean that in a negative way because I actually dig the way this board looks. I will hopefully have some proof of riding it shortly….

Mike Piscitelli….

Conner — Tue, 07 May 2013 21:38:11 +0000

Is a good dude. He also just so happens to be an incredibly creative dude with a unique perspective on life. And a humble one at that. His creativity is very evident in his photography (lots of which is of very pretty women. yes we are a bit envious…) and directing skills. I’ve had the pleasure of hanging out with him a bit. He has some dam good stories about hanging out with some people that we would all love to hang out with. Anyways, he has been piecing together a new website and it is filled with rad photography and some outtakes and trailers of film projects he has done. The Ozzy Osbourne outtakes are a must see. Check his site out here: http://mikepiscitelli.com/

Here are a few photos that Mike has taken.

A Major Contribution To Modern Day Radicalness: Wave Warriors IV

Parker — Mon, 06 May 2013 17:47:20 +0000

This film inspired the modern form of surfing… Punk rock, amazing surfing, classic characters, and of course some amazing camel toe shots are what makes this surf movie an eternal figure in the surf world. Sit back, relax, put on your old school attire, and watch how amazing Herbie Fletcher’s creation is.
