Brutal Honesty with Luke Davis
By Jeff Mull
Luke Davis appears the quintessential fiery grom. Young, blonde locked, and media hyped, we sat down with the Californian to talk techno, home school, and why Kelly's still the best.
In your eyes, who's the best surfer under 21 right now and why?
I think Julian Wilson is the best. He just has the full package, from airs to carves, he does it all.
Who's the most underrated surfer in the game right now and why?
I think Brent Dorrington is the most underrated guy right now. He's not very well known but he surfs like a mix between Parko and Mick.
Is Slater overrated?
He isn't overrated.
In five years, where do you see yourself?
Hopefully on the WQS trying to qualify for the WCT, if not, just trying to get good photoss and video stuff. I would also love to be doing something in the techno music scene. Whether it be making my own music or DJ-ing, music is just something that I am extremely interested in.
Is home school BS?
Yeah, people think that kids who home school don't have to do any work at all, when it's the complete opposite. You actually work a ton and I think it is way more productive than going to normal school and having to sit in a classroom all day.
What's your take on the Rebel Tour?
I think it's a great concept. It will make surfing a llot more exciting to watch because the guys who end up surfing on this new tour will be the best of the best.
What's the last song you listened to?
Beyonce - Single Ladies (Dave Aude Club Mix)
