Boogie Days

He’s a lover of cocktails and slow cars, shapes a mean surfboard, and will leave your belly hurting from laughing on every encounter.

Since washing up on the shores of Bali nearly a decade ago this Californian transplant has been a fixture at the @deustemple events from around the time we first flung open the front door.

Where his antics with a microphone in one hand and a beer in the other have only ever been outshone by his unique brand of hot-dogging on a surfboard.

After years of flirting with each other, we’re absolutely stoked to welcome Jared Mell AKA @bangbangboogie to the Deus family!

We asked Jared for a quote to wrap around this little film entree, and he dredged up a line from the original film… “I like simple pleasures, like butter in my @$$, lollipops in my mouth.

That's just me.

That's just something that I enjoy.”

With plenty of swell on the forecast for the sunny Indonesian archipelago, it's time for some new adventures and a whole lot of laughs!
