Exclusive video: Surfers turn little French beach town into a punk playground

The wayward architects responsible for the SVRF PVNK phenomenon in France – a punk-inspired surfing movement that promotes the hot-rod side of boardsliding – have given us the exclusive on their latest video.
The video was made during their fourth invitational this October and features unlikely lads and ladies from all over Europe who gather in tiny beach town Hossegor to celebrate the holy quadrumvirate of SVRF-PVNK culture: surfing, skateboarding, music and beer.
So sit back, enjoy the carnage, and quit your day job.
