The Former ‘DEFECT’ World Tour In Photos

Photography by Hunter Martinez.

The surfing life can be a difficult one.

However, that is not the case when you are on Former and have a part in the new DEFECT video. Then it is very chill. You travel the world showing your hard work around. You get to go to the top of the Empire State Building with Dane Reynolds. You get to jump into the water on Australia’s Eastern Coast. You get to watch Dane tweak the video over the course of several months. You get to be stylish the whole time.

Yes, truly, when you are a professional surfer, life can be difficult, but these days, Ben Howard, Dane Reynolds, Craig Anderson, Shaun Manners, Jake Kelley, Jay Davies, Kaito Ohashi, Gabe Morvil, Dion Agius, James Kustino, Dillon Perillo, Timo Simmers, Matt Hoy, and Kai Mckenzie wouldn’t know anything about that.

Filmmaker/photographer/emailer/homie Hunter Martinez was along for the whole damn DEFECT world tour, and so through his photos, we kind of were, too, and so can you.
