Side Notes | 26th July

Side Notes is a weekly round up of everything and anything that catches our short attention span over the past week, coming to you live and direct every Friday.

SURF

The Dock 2.0

"The thing moves like a fucking viper, trying to kill you." Probably the most important development in the world of surfing since the thruster; The Dock returns to Mexico courtesy of Stab. Two tonnes of paddle-free fun and danger sees Chippa Wilson, Dion Agius, Eithan Osbourne and Noa Deane acid dropping into the warm waters of mainland Mexico.

MUSIC

Dope Lemon - Hey You

Angus Stone's solo venture away from his sister sees him release his second album after 2016's Honey Bones. Hey You, the opening track and first single, kicks off a solid album, which unsurprisingly didn't take long to win me over. Angus has further developed his own sound without venturing too far off from what made his debut album so good.

TRAVEL

Lake Como, Italy

SKATE

Vans - Arms Wide Open

The all-girl Vans team tear their way through Indonesia, featuring Fabiana Delfino, Breana Geering, Helena Long, Amy Ram, Shani Bru, Lucy Adams and Una Farrar. The spots are sweet, the weather fine but unfortunately no sign of Creed for the soundtrack.
