Watch: Craig Anderson Is An Exotic Dancer In A Short Grass Skirt

Back in 2019, before the world was a terrifying petri dish of coughs and wheezes, we sent 30-year-old Craig Anderson on a boat trip with six kids half his age. This became the Stab Innocents Project

The film is a half-hour ode to surfing old and new, as the kids are forced to learn their (modern) history before forging their bright, bright futures. 

Craig served as the ringleader and quasi-mentor (though he hates that term) throughout the trip, and he was equally happy to watch the kids devour chocolates and frolick in playful Telo Island surf as he was to ride waves himself. 

The video above details Craig’s finest moments from the trip—most from the surf, but others more personality-based, as we’ve rarely seen Craig express himself so freely through the spoken word (or as Craig’s previous business partner, Warren Smith, commented on the original film: “Congrats on the most words you’ve ever spoken @craig__anderson”).

Please enjoy the best of Craig from Stab Innocents. We hope it brings 11 minutes of joy to your day.
