A couple of weeks ago I found this wall near the Bethnal Green tube station. I took a look at it every morning on my way to the office and the wall, which I found bright and clean on Wednesday May 22nd, was fully covered after 2 days. After a little bit of Internet research [...]

There’s nothing more we love here at Covanaut than HUGE gnarly surf shots! If you haven’t already, check out our Facebook to witness a few of these eye-openers. Catching those vital split seconds is down to hugely talented photographers. Lucia Griggi is a one of these truly gifted members of society. The Italian/British Lucia began [...]

I’ve recently found that during nights out, I somehow manage to always end up in the grottiest pubs with what appear to be the grimmest bathrooms possible. Many pub toilets now appear more of an abandoned drug den then the kind of place you’d want to go for a piss. Graffiti covers the walls – [...]

London’s Southbank undercroft has gained the reputation as one the UK’s most legendary skate spots – even making the cut to feature (terribly) on Tony Hawks Pro Skater 4! Over the past few years the undercroft has slowly been reduced in size, until now when the spot is threatened with altogether relocation. The area is [...]

Words//Craig Stevens  I was recently asked to attend the Munich ISPO tradeshow, which I was not entirely  thrilled about.

So while industry cats schlep around networking with canapes and champers, here’s [...]

We had the most interesting afternoon, after a chat and  few (many!) drinks with Andres Pantoja, a London based visual artist. The strength of his art is in his capability of capturing the essence of life’s moments as well as social and political issues that are part of our society. His history and his background are reflected [...]

We have discovered the extraordinary story of this man, Mitch Abshere, who has been brave enough to follow his dreams. This entrepreneur and surf rider is the founder of Captain Fin and more recently of Captain’s Helm. This is a vintage retail shop which also sales local brands and brand new surfboards… This Californian based Company is [...]

LA based photographer and ex pro snowboarder Ian Ruhter has been taking his camera (its not your average point and click) across America in a bid to make lasting images of the people he meets.  Drawn to interesting characters, Ian’s gigantic photo making van somehow seems to capture the feelings and soul of his subjects, [...]
