    The Editor Who Was There For All Of It | Kevin Kinnear

    Kevin Kinnear pulled up outside the shop in Oceanside in a car with a hail-shredded hood, on his way to collect a Stratocaster with a skull etched into the red paint. He had not planned to sit down for an interview. He sat down anyway, and what followed is a walking history of California surf, skate and snowboard culture told by a man who was in the room for most of it. Kinnear came up through Breakout, the Carlsbad magazine that set out to reclaim California at a moment when the state had gone invisible, when the draft had scattered a generation and the last pro the coast had produced was Chris O'Rourke. Breakout gave the underdogs somewhere to appear, and by the time Tom Curren and Joey Buran arrived the mission had largely worked. From there Kinnear became the first trained editor at the skate magazine that Larry Balma and Peggy Cozens started above the Tracker Trucks grinding room, and nine months after that he walked into snowboarding, took one beating in Breckenridge and understood it immediately. This, he decided, is surfing for the rest of the world. Around that spine sits everything else: Art Brewer and the shot of Gregg Weaver that is still a classic, a marching drum that was never going to be rock and roll, Billy Hamilton playing flamenco at a sixty-seventh birthday in Honolulu, Blacks in 1971 with nobody else out, a Navy childhood spent crossing a country that still had colored fountains, and a friend who handed him a thousand dollars, no strings, on the worst day. He helped start the California Surf Museum, and still measures a scene by whether anyone bothered to keep its record. Late in the conversation a third voice joins the table. He is the son of a Hawaiian waterman called Aku, and he explains why Woody Brown used to throw rocks at his father's window before first light, back when Waikiki had no lifeguards and no leashes, and the safest thing in the water was a world-class swimmer.

    Our Surf Shop Was Malibu's Old Jail | Chad Marshall

    Across the road from his own shop, Chad Marshall is sitting in a stranger's living room. There are no walls. The fire came through Malibu a year and a half ago and took the house with it, along with most of the street, and from the slab where a family once watched television you can now see the pier — a view nobody has had since the 1930s. That is where this conversation happens. Chad is the middle of three brothers. Trace is older, DJ younger, and together they are Brothers Marshall — a surf shop on Pacific Coast Highway that behaves more like a cultural centre than a shop. Their father policed Hollywood through the eighties and nineties. He would finish a night shift, collect his sons without sleeping, drive them to the beach, surf, nap on the sand, and go back and do it again. He was a surfer and a skater before he was a cop, and he raised the boys loose rather than tight — a spring you hold down, Chad's host suggests, only goes wild when you finally let go. What follows is a life built on refusing the obvious path. There is the tandem heat at Malibu that he and Trace paddled into as a joke and won outright. There is the trip to Noosa at thirteen — no parents, no money, no mobile phones — paid for by a fundraiser involving Pamela Anderson and George Foreman, and a Four Seasons penthouse that turned into a party with Joel Tudor and half the professional tour. Chad made the final. Trace came home with the stories. Then came the clothing. Gonz, started twenty years ago, was a high-end surf brand sold through Barney's and Fred Segal when those stores sold no surf anything — an idea the luxury houses spent two decades catching up to. Warriors of Radness followed at a price the surf shops could carry. Along the way the brothers ran one of the first surf blogs on the internet, posting twice a day to an audience that checked obsessively. He is candid about what modern surfing has lost. The bad boys and the good guys, the chain-smoking chargers, the fingerprints — flattened, he argues, into a mould the best surfers of this generation want no part of. And then there is the building. One of the first ever built in Malibu, it hid original Malibu Potteries tile under decades of linoleum, and iron bars under the floor: the shop was the town's jail in the forties and fifties. It survived a fire inside its own walls, then the fire that erased the neighbourhood around it, and it reopened. A few months ago Mike D of the Beastie Boys asked to launch a record in the parking lot. It was meant to be secret. It was not. At ten in the morning the City Council called about the permits nobody had, and what Chad did next is the best story in this episode. ───────────────────────────── Director / Producer  |  Stephen Schutte Host                 |  Stephen Schutte Location          |  Malibu : California, USA.

    How Surfing came to Japan | Shingo Nakamura

    At CHP, the surf shop his father opened in Chiba nearly fifty years ago, Shingo Nakamura talks through a life that was never really a choice—it just always was. His father, Kazumi Nakamura, quit his job in the early 1970s and shipped himself off to California to learn how to shape boards, apprenticing under Tak Kawahara, a second-generation Japanese shaper working in the same circles as Hobie Alter and the old California legends. By 1974 he was back in Chiba with a surfboard factory and a shop of his own, one of the first of its kind in the region. It's a lineage that, as Shingo points out, connects in strange and wonderful ways all the way to Cape Town—Hobie Alter's old friend John Whitmore, the original Endless Summer, a surf world that in the sixties and seventies was small enough that shapers on opposite sides of the planet somehow all knew each other. Greg Noll himself became close friends with Kazumi, flying in once a year to stay at the family home and take part in a "wrong board" contest nearby—Shingo remembers him visiting at least three times. Shingo picked up surfing at eight or nine years old, taught by no one in particular, in a household where it was less a hobby than the family business happening around him. His younger brother went on to become a professional surfer and now shapes boards himself. Shingo describes falling in love with surfing the way anyone does—slowly, through discomfort before joy, through the discipline of years before a single wave ever felt easy. Much of the conversation traces how Japanese surf culture has changed under his watch. He remembers a pre-internet era of driving from point to point to check conditions, waiting for the next issue of Surfer magazine to arrive in a Tokyo bookstore, and a scene once defined by athleticism and competitive performance boards. Over the last decade he's watched that shift toward freesurfing and midlengths, a change he traces partly to riders like Derek Hynd and Tom Curren opening up a more creative, less rigid approach to riding waves. He talks candidly about localism at his own break, the etiquette that holds Japanese line-ups together, and the quieter, more communal version of surf culture that used to see people linger at the shop all day rather than paddle out and go straight home. The conversation turns heavier when Shingo speaks about a cancer diagnosis this past summer—surgery, nearly two weeks in hospital, and a doctor's orders keeping him out of the water until the new year. He talks about it plainly, without self-pity, crediting his family and community for carrying him through it, and admits the hardest part isn't the recovery itself but watching the swell roll in from behind the counter he can't yet paddle out from. CHP itself comes up almost as a character in its own right—part surf shop, part informal museum, with boards from Greg Noll and Takayama lining the walls alongside decades of history most visitors never think to ask about. Shingo extends an open invitation to travelers passing through: stop in, say hello, ask questions, maybe borrow a board, and hear a little more about how surfing actually found its way to Japan in the first place. Equal parts surf history lesson and quiet reflection on resilience, this one is a reminder that the best stories are often standing behind the counter of the local shop. ───────────────────────────── Director / Producer  |  Stephen Schutte Host                 |  Stephen Schutte Location          |  Chiba - Japan Guest               | Shingo Nakamura  - Instagram @new5_chp ─────────────────────────────

    The Question I Didn't Expect to Answer | Ryo Shimizu

    Ryo Shimizu meets us on a quiet football pitch in Chiba, fresh off an 8am flight from Bangkok, to talk about a life spent behind the lens. Ryo didn't set out to become a photographer. He picked up a camera in elementary school and never really put it down, carrying a disposable waterproof one into the surf as a teenager in Kyushu before eventually landing in Tokyo, then Chiba. Work came slowly, through friends and word of mouth, until one day the label just fit. His childhood was shaped by constant relocation — Takamatsu, then Kyushu, then Tokyo — as his family followed his father's job. Rather than mourning the friendships left behind, Ryo found himself drawn to the excitement of starting over, a pattern that would later define how he travels: no itinerary, no research, just conversations with locals that lead him to the forgotten histories tucked behind coffee shops and quiet backstreets. That same instinct shows up in his photography. Ryo has shot editorial work for Marie Claire and built a reputation for portraiture that favours the unscripted moment over the styled one — the shot a subject didn't know they wanted until they saw it. He talks candidly about the tension between a client's rigid brief and his own restlessness, and the times he's stepped outside the frame to shoot something no one asked for, because it mattered to him. The conversation turns personal when Ryo speaks about his girlfriend, a surfer chasing a world title, and the documentary he made following her journey — his first, screened to a room of a hundred people in Tokyo who paid to watch, and cried. For Ryo, the ocean is where his girlfriend competes and where he finds stillness watching her do it. For Steve, it's something rawer: a place to process the years after his own father left, where no one can see you cry because you're already wet.

    Matt Archbold | Point Break, Gotcha's Wild Years and Staying in the Water

    Matt Archbold is California free-surfing royalty: one of the first riders to walk away from the tour on his own terms, a founding face of the MCD campaign, and — almost by accident — Patrick Swayze's surf double in Point Break. Vast Lives sat down with him at Archie's Garage, his San Clemente workshop, surrounded by half-finished cars and a 1959 Harley Panhead in pieces. Archbold grew up in a grittier, pre-gentrified San Clemente, sneaking into the old Greyhound bus station arcade as a kid while Marines from Camp Pendleton filled the town. He didn't start surfing until eleven, needled into it by his brother. At sixteen, missing a Gotcha meeting to go surfing accidentally doubled his contract — founder Michael Tomson assumed it was a power play. That same relationship later let Archbold quit competing (never surfing) to free surf and travel instead, a decision that helped set the template for the free-surf movement Rip Curl's team followed soon after. He tells the inside story of MCD's "If you don't surf, don't start" campaign — logo and editorial released before there was even product to sell, forcing a thrift-store scramble to catch up with demand. Career stops at Santa Cruz, O'Neill and Von Dutch follow, including a giant flying-eyeball bench Von Dutch built in Bali that Archbold now wants to replicate at home. Point Break gets the full retelling: a casting mix-up, a body-double gig for Swayze, months filming in Hawaii, teaching Anthony Kiedis to surf between takes, and flying first class at 22 with director Kathryn Bigelow while quietly wondering if he belonged there at all. Elsewhere: a spontaneous dash to fire Mundaka, Mickey Dora's infamous ping-pong-ball surfboard, boat trips through the Mentawais with Art Brewer and a young John John Florence, and why Archbold still drives a 1984 Mercedes with hand-crank windows so his sons know what gasoline smells like. He also speaks plainly about family — daughters Poppy and Ruby, son Ford's label Spun Spirit, and the loss of his son William just over a year ago. The episode closes in the present, with Archbold walking through samples for his traction pad brand, Archie's Garage, and introducing team riders Taj and Sawyer Lindblad. Asked what he'd tell his younger self: keep surfing, don't stop.

    Chad "BushyWoop" | A Cape Town Artist Who Turned Trauma Into Colour

    There's a particular kind of quiet that settles over a conversation once someone tells you, plainly, what it cost them to get where they are. Chad Hanning — known to most as Bushy — has that effect.  He talks about Mitchell's Plain, the Cape Town neighbourhood where he spent four years after his parents' divorce, without theatre or self-pity. One cousin was murdered.  Another cycled in and out of prison. Bushy picked up a spray can. On paper it's a stark split in the road. In person, over coffee in his studio in Woodstock — a genuinely nice space, all concrete and good light — it comes across less as a triumph story and more as simple clarity about who he wanted to be. That clarity took a while to arrive. Skateboarding came first, an outlet as much as a hobby, and it was through Cape Town's skate scene that he found his way into graffiti in his mid-teens — a subculture he loved and eventually found suffocating, undone by its own internal drama. He walked away from painting at eighteen, retrained as a graphic designer, and spent a decade in advertising agencies doing solid work for other people's ideas, until the arrangement stopped making sense. The breaking point wasn't dramatic. It was just the slow build-up of pouring creative energy into a system that kept the good parts and threw away the rest. What followed was a move to Vietnam in 2017 — his first time on a plane, which still seems to surprise him — and a return to freelancing, teaching art to kids, and eventually to walls. It was, by his own account, both the lowest and highest point of his career, which makes sense, since the two are usually closer together than they look. In the years since, his illustration work has landed on projects for Adidas, New Balance, Universal Studios and Netflix, alongside a growing list of murals around Cape Town, including pieces at Muizenberg and the tidal pools with a clear purpose behind them — giving kids who may never own a snorkel some access to the colour and life under the water they grow up next to. That idea — that colour can be a kind of generosity, not just decoration — runs through everything Bushy makes. It shows up in how he talks about South Africa's own complicated history with colour, and in his belief, said with more warmth than sentiment, that the country's creative talent is finally getting the attention it's deserved for years. His advice to young, aspiring creatives has nothing to do with chasing trends. Find your own voice, he says, and stick with it, whatever the reaction. This conversation covers all of it — Mitchell's Plain, walking away from the corporate route, Vietnam, fatherhood, and turning a hard childhood into a career spent making other people's neighbourhoods a bit more beautiful. Links to Bushy's work are below. As he puts it himself, with a grin: buy more art.

    CJ Dunn | The Typeface Designer Who Puts Hawaiʻi in Every Letter

    Some people design letters. CJ Dunn designs for a place. Recorded on the steps of a Kichijōji café in Tokyo — a neighbourhood he chose deliberately, for its quiet creative energy, and its community of artists — this conversation follows CJ Dunn, a typeface designer originally from Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi, now building a career that moves fluidly between Honolulu, California, New York and Tokyo. CJ was born on the North Shore of Oʻahu, raised in Pauoa Valley, Kaimuki and in Idyllwild, California.  CJ’s father taught him architectural lettering from a young age. That architectural influence runs through CJ’s work now — he talks candidly about typeface design as an unlikely marriage of the analytical and the aesthetic, drawing lines from art history and modernism, to what he calls the “eye muscle” — a trained, almost athletic sense of visual judgment built through years of practice rather than purely mechanical measurement. The conversation traces his path from a self-described teenage “skate rat” — punk shows, skateboarding, a deliberate turn away from what he saw as a too-clean-cut ’90s surf industry — back to the ocean and, eventually, to type. It lands on his proudest project to date: a typeface rooted in the land of Hawaiʻi that found its way, unprompted, onto the jerseys and broadcast graphics of the WSL’s Pipe Challenger contest — a full-circle moment for someone who grew up watching surf contests at Pipeline as a kid. CJ makes the case for design that comes from a specific place and a specific community rather than a trend cycle, and for why that specificity is exactly what AI-generated design struggles to replicate. A conversation about lineage — architectural, cultural, and creative — and what it means to put your own history into the shape of a letter.

    D-Jai | The Language of Colour — Painting Memory, Weaving Sound in Bangkok.

    Some artists paint what they see. DJ paints what she hears. Recorded at Pridi, a quiet garden coffee shop tucked into Bangkok's Phra Nang Klao Nuea neighbourhood, this conversation follows DJai — a Bangkok-born multidisciplinary artist working across painting, textiles and sound — as she explains a visual language entirely of her own making, one where every sound she hears is translated into a colour, a pitch, a place in a composition. DJai studied photography before turning to painting, a shift that began during the pandemic, when she moved in to care for her grandmother full-time. Her grandmother has Alzheimer's, and in the quiet of that year, DJ began finger-painting with her on old silk sarongs, watching memory return in fragments whenever her grandmother heard her own name. That experience became the foundation for everything she makes now: a system where sound is assigned colour and pitch, mapped onto MIDI regions in Logic, and painted onto canvas and woven into cloth as a kind of readable, listenable memory. The conversation moves through her residency in Tainan, Taiwan, where she deliberately worked in a language she didn't speak in order to study its structure; through the Thai pentatonic scale that underpins her colour system; and into her newest body of work, in which she weaves with naturally dyed yarn and plans to source her "sound" from the raw materials themselves — soil, plant, dye — as a way of honouring where they came from. She talks about a piece built entirely from the memory of being told, for the first time, that she was loved. About stripping her weavings into clay to fossilise a conversation between two people who couldn't understand each other's words but understood each other anyway.  And about Rodriguez, the American musician unknown in his own country who became a household name in South Africa a full generation before Finding Sugarman ever reached him — a detour that becomes its own meditation on how meaning gets assigned, and who gets to assign it. By the end, what looked like abstract lines and colour blocks resolves into something closer to a diary. Not one you read. One you listen to. ───────────────────────────── Director / Producer  |  Stephen Schutte Host                 |  Stephen Schutte Location          |  Pridi Coffee Shop - Bangkok Thailand Guest               |  D-Jai - Instagram @djaikosi ───────────────────────────── YouTube        |  @vastlifeofficial Instagram      |  @vast.life_ Spotify  | https://open.spotify.com/show/7uQq0FR6X6OdK0v5I7S1fI Apple Podcasts |  https://podcasts.apple.com/za/podcast/vast-lives/id1757876423 Website        |  https://www.vastlife.com ─────────────────────────────
