Eithan Osborne, Warm Coors Light, And A Trashcan Board

It’s not like you’re not gonna watch this Chapter 11 edit.

Eithan Osborne lives a good surf life. He hangs with Dane, gets paychecks from the energy empire, and fears no section. But he’ll never be too cool to drink a lukewarm Coors Light, find a shitty old board in the trash, and see if he can Barney-roll it with his friends.

“It was sitting in the trashcan at the harbor for like five days,” says the Stab Highway goblin, regarding the yellow sled. “It was still in decent condition so I just snagged it. The nose was see-through, and it was pretty much a piece of shit, but I actually had fun.”

Like Nathan Fletcher’s equally yellow Hawaiian handshape, Eithan said this board went better on his backside.

We’d agree, it looked best on the backside — but our favorite part was still the bograil > tummy hop > straight air combo.

The Calvin and Hobbes deck art also struck a chord.
