S E N S O R Y most familiar scents - coconut scented conditioner, chlorine, freshly ground coffee, the laudry detergent his gf picks out, citrus bleach, maison margiela's replica: lipstick on, the sea, acetone - thanks to his mom's beauty business, tom ford's neroli portofino, garlic oil, fresh baking. most familiar tastes - sunscreen - whenever his tongue meets shan's skin, salt, fruit punch gatorade, pot brownies, corona and lime, fresh seafood, whitening strips, second hand smoke, marshmallow, whipped cream, pepperoni pizza, banana milkshakes, salted popcorn, shannon's burt's bees lipbalm, sugary sweet coffee with coconut milk. most familiar sensations - hair dried out by saltwater, the smooth skin of shannon's freshly shaved legs under his fingertips, the worn polyurethane of his favourite surfboard, cotton sheets being kicked to the bottom of the bed, the endless trauma of there being crumbs in the bed (his fault), shannon's lips against his, sun warmed and sand exfoliated skin. most familiar sights - water everywhere, dolphins frolicking alongside him as he paddles out, sunsets over the sea, shan's sleepy sunbathing, his niece and nephew paddling in the shallows, too many insta notifications to count, accusations of selling out in the comment section of his interviews. most familiar sounds - shannon's heavy sigh when she finds yet more crumbs in the bed, the little breaths that get caught in her throat when they sleep together, the sound of the waves crashing against the sand, disappointment in his mom's voice, grizzly bear's entire discography, seagulls crowing, the shutter sound on iphone cameras.  • #1 - First and foremost, Sam is my baby. He is my youngest and I will always forgive him. When we first met, I thought he was the best mistake I ever made, but now I think he's been a little too sheltered. I would be so much happier if he just called me when he promised to, and I think he would be happier if he stopped living his life online. He's too dependent on his girlfriend, but it's not Shannon's fault. At the end of the day, he's totally kind, and he'll never give me too much to worry about.  Words by Mr Dan Rookwood US Editor, MR PORTER We caught up with Mr Sam Shaw in the bar at Chateau Marmont, where he looked suitably louche in a Gucci sweater and faded skinnies, which he claimed to be years old and bought online, "I forget from where". Since quitting competitive surfing in favor of focusing on social media six months ago, Mr Shaw's sponsors have made the unorthodox decision to continue their contracts with him, his appeal over milennials being such that even his retreat from his sport doesn't dent his credibility. We sat down with him for a quickfire interview. What’s your recurring dream? Shark attack. Actually, not a proper shark attack, it's more that I'm on my board and even though a minute before it was midday and I was surrounded by friends, now it's dusk and I'm on my own and there's a storm rolling in - pure shark bait. Then I see it, the shadow of an 8 ft white, circling round me and I know that's it, it's just a matter of when. Cliche for a surfer, right? I want to clarify how unlikely it is, sharks are just big fish. The culling of them out in WA is something that I lose sleep over. What’s the first thing you do when you wake up? Try to kiss my girlfriend, who complains about morning breath and bats me away. It's love. Name the app you can’t live without. I used to have a ton of weather apps I'd cross reference, but Coasting does that for me now. Should mention I'm affiliated with it but honestly even if I wasn't I'd sing its praises, it's always spot on at breaking down weather conditions. What’s your favourite emoji? The tongue one. I send it to Shan all the time and it really bothers her, so obviously I send it even more. What’s the song you sing in the shower? Grizzly Bear's 'While You Wait for the Others'. What’s your breakfast of champions? Protein pancakes with fried plantain. I like alliteration. What would your death row meal be? I've got one hell of a sweet tooth, this is probably going to make you sick... I'd have a dozen glazed krispy kremes, loads of Sour Patch Kids, these sour snake lollies from Oz, Cherry Ripes, Snickers ice cream, smores, a bucket of cherry Coke and a Big Mac. Just to balance it out. Who’s your style icon? David Beckham. I mean he's a little more conservative than I am, but if I was that much of a handsome motherfucker I'd just rock up in a white tee and jeans too. It really does seem effortless. What’s the most surprising fashion item you own? The Gucci sweater I'm wearing right now. It was such an indulgent buy, I'm really more of a thrift shopper than a big roller, but I'm obsessed with it. Everyone's obsessed with Gucci right now, aren't they? You guys must be doing well. Best advice your mother gave you? My mum is the single greatest source of support in my life, she moved us to California when I was a kid and took me to all these surf competitions across the world. But she's got a mouth on her. She's so Australian, I think sometimes she's so bogan Americans don't know how to take her... When I started dating Shan, she said this to me - and this is a quote - "Sam, she's a keeper. Don't ever mar it by bringing up butt stuff." I never have, and we're going on for 4 years now. Been tempted, though. What’s your biggest extravagance? This jumper. Travel is probably the thing I spend the most money on, and yeah, it can be excessive. Worth it though. If you weren’t a surfer, you’d be… A pothead living in my mum's basement. Name a place everyone should visit before they die. Byron Bay. First thing you do when you get into a hotel room? Whack the AC up to a billion, then shower. I'm a closet clean freak. First thing you do when you get home to Australia? Hit the waves with my nephew. He's seven and shows a lot of promise. What’s the most listened to song on your iTunes right now? 'Never Dead', Viktor Vaughn. ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ |
