BIPOC power surfer Johnny Boy Gomes, once compared to “Darth Vader eating raw dinosaur leg during a 9.2 magnitude earthquake”, slams World Surf League for ignoring his pivotal ’97 Pipe Masters win in best-of list!

Money, money, money, money.

You know oh so well that Jonah Hill, heir to Miki Dora’s Malibu throne, and Shakira, currently wrapped up with a mysterious Spanish surf instructor, are such wonderfully compelling sagas. Stories that must be examined from each and every angle. That require diligence and attention, daily recountings, but have you ever wondered if there are other fascinating tales out there only hidden because the teller is either unknown or underfunded?

Might you, yourself, be sitting on one?

Well, as luck would have it, glamorous Norwegian luggage company Db has partnered with the compelling podcast Looking Sideways in order to uncover and toss money upon.

Per the press release:

We love storytelling. Uncovering truths. Discovering the world. We live for print galleries, documentaries and books. So does our friend Matt from the Looking Sideways Podcast, the show in which he uncovers the most interesting stories in surfing, skateboarding and snowboarding.

That’s why we’ve joined forces to launch the Db x LS Fund.

Together, we want to find the next generation of creatives, and help them tell the tales the world needs to know.

If you’re a photographer, a writer, a podcaster, a journalist, an artist or a film-maker with a story to tell, we want to hear from you. And we want to help you get your project out there,
