"Nautilus is a video portrait made by Matt Payne that showcases the subtle nuances of pool skateboarding from a baroque cinematic perspective. Huntington Beach’s Jake Reuter takes his relaxed, improv approach from wall to wall with an ease that tends to downplay the sheer gnarliness of some of the shit he does. It’s almost as good as re-watching that old 2006 porno folder in all it’s 240p pixilated glory buried in your hard drive."

"Central California's Nate Tyler has been portrayed prolifically in various surf media and surf company advertisements for the last decade, usually on his surfboard and in the air. Generally photographic media only, the portrayal has been absent a proper telling of his and, possibly more importantly, his father's story, and the soulful side of Mr. Tyler hasn't been understood. In fact, it's never really surfaced. "Encamped on pure Steinbeckian Californian dirt among the oaks and tall grass, the Tyler's meld a stalwart environmental stance with a functional DIY ethic. The result is an existence that harkens to some place other than California, possibly foreign to much of the country. Were it not for their proximity to mega-cities, sandwiched a half-day's drive between Los Angeles and Silicon Valley, you might mistake their homestead for New Zealand or Chile. "In this two-part portrait, filmmaker Joe Guglielmino plumbs the moods, musings, and machinations of the Tyler life. The result is an esoteric composition that gives the viewer a feeling for the father and son, yet projects a universal ideal of the relationship between generations. "POV Shorts II is a 10-part video series, emblematic of the quality and storytelling you can expect to find in The Surfer's Journal. From surf filmmakers Chris Malloy, Tyler Manson, Joe G, Andrew Kidman and Cyrus Sutton, each filmmaker has taken on one subject within a general framework, but subject to their interpretation. They will be released over the course of the Summer, 2011. Have a look around our video channel for the others, or check back soon as more are released." - The Surfer's Journal
The Ambassador of Fun is a short film commissioned by Red Bull showcasing a raw look into the mind of professional surfer Mason Ho and his creative relationship with the ocean. Shot from a fly on the wall perspective, ride shotgun with Mason as he slowly peels back the layers to reveal his personal outlook on surfing as well as his background growing up in a prestigious family of surfing champions on the north shore of Oahu, Hawaii. Directed by Matt Payne http://stabmag.com/made-in-hawaii-with-mason-ho/ http://www.surfingmagazine.com/video/ambassador-fun-mason-ho/ http://www.surfermag.com/videos/mason-ho-made-in-hawaii/
At 26, Dion has practically become an entire pro surfing genre unto himself. He's as remarkable out of the water as he is on a surfboard.

MUSIC

The second complete collection of Fenty for Stance by Rihanna will make feet festive this season. Get yours now at stance.com/rihanna!
The Miss Dazey Collection is our experiment in the allure of art, a chemistry of culture inspired by Generation Z's most visionary muse: Willow Smith. Our newest Punk & Poet was the creative catalyst for a trip down the rabbit hole to a world of kaleidoscopic florals and daring graphics where there's only one rule: expect the unexpected.
It’s a strange thing, meeting the son of an icon, but it’s not a rarity in L.A. because the town’s littered with them. Dhani Harrison however, is a prolific musician in his own right. He’s somewhat of an enigma, no doubt a result of growing up in the spotlight and being constantly peppered with requests, most concerning his perpetually famous father. Our interest in Dhani came as a result of his chance friendship with our lovely guest editor. The longtime pals like to spend their time together charging crystals, night swimming, drinking organic beer brewed by monks, playing music, and exploring the existential. When it came to the subject of features for Steph’s mag, Dhani was an obvious inclusion. We pulled up to his “studio” in Santa Monica expecting it to be small and dark and wondering if there was going to be ample light to shoot photos. We opened the door to a full-blown office building with three separate offices two recording studios, a communal area with generous cubicle space, and more trinkets than you could thrust a Grammy at. Among his many musical ventures, Dhani also runs Hot Records (Henley on Thames—Dhani’s birthplace), and Dark Horse Records, a label that his dad founded. The Santa Monica office serves as the universal HQ.
They come from all over the greater Los Angeles area-- Boyle Heights, El Sereno, Lynwood, Santa Clarita, etc.--from diverse family backgrounds, seeking out the underground pop-up punk shows that make up the "East Los" backyard scene. Straight-up punk, metal, horror ska, oi and psychobilly are all in the mix and, while the music is diverse, its aggressive approach is a constant.

FASHION

We're so excited to finally unveil our debut Volcom x GMJ Collection. We spent many days and nights working with the beautiful Volcom Women's celebrity ambassador, designer and muse, Georgia May Jagger on the collection.
Uploaded by Volcom on 2017-08-08.
Join Georgia May Jagger and Tina Kunakey's girl squad for a hang at the skatepark with The Skate Kitchen, Deap Vally and few of the guys from the Volcom Skate Team. For the Fall '17 collection we're giving the finger to categorization, and instead we're embracing the rebellious next wave, celebrating individuality and gender fluid style.
GLOBE and Stab Magazine are happy to launch a new board short called The KULAMA BOARDIE. Inspired by the Australian Aboriginal heritage shown on Dion Agius. Clean, luxurious, and comfortable. If you like this video head over to http://bit.ly/17W7Xes and Vote for this video to win.

COMMERCIAL

Comedy Central's hit, Workaholics, started its 4th season in January 2014. It stars real life friends Blake Anderson, Adam DeVine and Anders Holm. The actors fittingly play buddy co-workers on the show. We photographed the trio as well as the co-creator (Kyle Newacheck) about the off the wall program.
We are perpetually in awe of Stephanie Gilmore's endless optimism, passion for competition and indomitable spirit. With more World Titles than any other contender on the current women's tour combined, Steph continues to raise the bar of Women's surfing with her powerful but fluid style on a board. #ROXYchamps #25YearsofROXY
That's right - it's our silver anniversary, and what an amazing 25 years it's been! From the mountains of Europe, to the Pacific islands and the Hawaiian princesses who first graced the waves, to our current and future athletes and ambassadors, our girls are the original heart breakers and wave chasers.
Kelia 'Sister' Moniz is the epitome of effortless style and grace. Our favorite lady logger had mastered the art of hanging ten at an early age. With equal parts happiness and humility, the multi-talented Hawaiian has become one of the most versatile surfers, notching up back to back 2012 and 2013 World Titles.

You know that dream from high school? The one when you grab your best friends, get a dirty old camper, fill it with surfboards and just take off? Your only care in the world is the coast and your car, and as the days pile up so does the fun...
​We took the Billabong Bloodlines program to Jbay where the crew was busy winning a pro junior event, throwing down some epic freesurfing, touring wild animal parks and enjoying the World Tour comp from the 50-yard line. It was a wildly fun time and a trip all of the boys won't soon forget.
