The youth today are as–or more–in tune with their phones, and social platforms as they are with the surrounding world. And, in this day and age, the lines between digital and actual are blurred (blame Pokemon Go!). If you really want to connect with the groms, the iPhone’s a good place to start. And, the youth we want to know more about are those who hold the future of surfing in their hands. See also: The finalists for 2016’s Quiksilver Young Guns event. Welcome back to Cookies! featuring Marco Mignot and Rio Waida, two of the YG finalists. We syphoned a collection of their smart phones’ recents (age appropriate!) – watch above.
