A Pipe Master, Ryan Burch, And Some Pickle Forks On The Eastern Seaboard

This one ticks a lot of boxes

Dungeon music and heaving liplines or indie strumming set to stylish tube threading?

Trad thrusting or off-kilter asymmetry?

Goof or reg?

Volcom’s newest edit has all of the above — plus a Pipe Master. Clearly, they’re educated on the importance of a diverse portfolio.

Fresh clips of elusive E.A.S.T. finalist Ryan Burch are always a welcome sight, especially those featuring him in his natural habitat of backless sand-gobbling lefts. The day of tubes in question was a result of Hurricane Ian’s path of destruction, and led to what longtime OBX standout Brett Barley claimed was “the best Lighthouse swell in years.”

‘Bunker’ is an amalgamation of Balaram Stack, Ryan Burch, Kobe Hughes, Gabe Morvil, and the rest of the V-Stone team devouring five days of Outer Banks goodies.

It’s an easy watch, so make sure you hang around for Burch’s final grower.
