Tosh Tudor’s South Coast Sojourn

Nepotism has a magical way of unlocking doors that would otherwise stay firmly shut. However, what you do once you enter that coveted room is entirely up to personal effort, dedication, and abilities.

Still months away from turning 20, Tosh Tudor has managed to step out of his father’s shadow and into the shade cast by aquatic teepees of his own making across the globe. 

After treating us to Tube Therapy, a signature film serving more cones than an ice-cream parlor, Tosh has returned to drip-feeding us visuals of his recent exploits.

In “Soirée,” Tosh makes another strong argument for having his tube riding skills called “elite” by photographer Jimmy Wilson.

Wandering through the South Coast of New South Wales, Tosh appears to be at the right place/tide/time. Almost as if another Vans team rider could’ve shared geo coordinates with him…

While you’ve previously seen some of these waves scored to death metal to match their intensity, Tosh opted to juxtapose his poise in waves of consequence with an instrumental, quasi-elevator tune by Solange. It’s almost tongue-in-cheek, like pairing a violent curb-stomping scene with the sound of “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.”

Worth 2:45 of your busy schedule.
