Kai Neville’s Poolside Picks

When it all squeezes through our funnel, only two things matter in our superficial world: our boards and our trunks (we’re talking summer here). So, given these priorities, we thought it would be instructive and illuminating if we asked a dozen makers of surf trunks to make a one-off pair of trunks, as custom as custom can be, without the limitations of price, the market or the whims of retail buyers. Our stipulation was: make the best pair of surf trunks your abilities allow. And, make us a short film in the process.

The competition ends in a few hours and we asked our favourite surf film maker, Mr Kai Neville, to tell us his three favourite clips created alongside the boardies. They are:

1. Billabong. ”I’m digging the Billabong cut, well shot, sexy French vibe and Jack plays the part like a young Hollywood star.”

(See above).

2. The Critical Slide Society. ”That was a well crafted edit just like the look of that trunk.”

3. Afends ”and the Guy Ritchie chopped edit.”

Now, come come, come join the trunk party here.

one day I want to grow up to buy a sewing machine and press to make boardshorts to skateboard… only when I’m older. Big dreams…. fucking man-children. This reminds me of the contrived soul-searching of Machado… these characters have not come to terms of reality… live in clouds. Fucking peter pans… there argument would be that one is jealous and that they have “chosen the road untravelled”… well, there’s a reason its untravelled. Put on 100 tattoos, skateboard, grow out hair… and just vegetate bro… grow your own vegetables… yeah, way to go… carry on man-child.
