A Sideways Look at Californian Sports Culture
Two West Coast board-sport aficionados have taken their love of the action-packed scene and produced a fantastic new book that will have you yearning for California. ‘Looking Sideways Vol 1’ serves as a companion piece to a podcast of the same name, and documents a three-week-long adventure undertaken by journalist Matt Barr and photographer Owen Tozer. Through their journey, they portray a vivid picture of a culture that continues to shape the world around us.
Traveling from Ventura to San Diego, Barr and Tozer take us on a trip to the remarkable birthplace of a scene that transcends sport to influence the clothes, music and films from a time in the not too distant past. The engaging pair also speak to the people at the heart of skateboarding, surfing and even snowboarding to discover more about what happened during the golden age of the scene, and what’s happening to it today.
Grab whichever board your comfortable with – even if that’s just your keyboard – and join Culture Trip on a journey to somewhere wonderful.
Looking Sideways Vol. 1 is available now
