Hi-Shred presents… Cycle Zombies

September 28, 2009 | Words By: Howard

surf_zombiesOn this episode of Hi-Shredability they are doing something a bit different. Yes it’s still all about the surf. But this isn’t about some famous surfer we’ve all heard of. No, this episode is about kids contributing to the culture and helping to shape the next generation of surf.

VBS rides and surfs with Cycle Zombies Rat and Turkey – a couple of dudes raised on skating, surfing and riding bikes. But there is more to this surf/bike/punk collective than their Never Never Land names.

They take the camera out and follow these kids around for a day-in-the-life SoCal doc about the kids just doing it for the love.

Check out more at the Hi-Shred Channel and join our newsletter as there’s more to come from Drift and Hi-Shredability.
