Best Sections of All-Time: Pat Towersey in Sons of Sickness

Pat Towersey grew up in Newport Beach. He had a Volcom stone on the beak of his board. He was in old Volcom vids. He was a whipper snapper, a sandy punk of the beach. We recently talked to him about that here when he stopped by the Factory. by the Sea.

He also went on to creatively link surfing with art and larger than life figures and now runs one of the more exciting underground brands Western Hydrodynamic Research — making those hats and tees that get you the nod in cool circles across parking lots across the world. All that being said, I was surprised and psyched to hear grant Noble pick Pat’s part in Sons of Sickness as his favorite of all-time. You can watch it below, but this is some serious Newport Beach Core Lord bro-down stuff. And I like it. And I enjoyed seeing the part for the first time in like 16 years. —Travis Ferré

Grant on Pat Towersey’s part in Son’s of Sickness: “Punker Pat’s Sons of sickness bonus section is an ALL TIME favorite.  Pat helped give an introduction to alternative boards when I had just started surfing.  It was insane seeing someone from the same town surf with the greats in the Sons of Sickness Movie.”
