Featured in this issue of @publicdomain.paris:

@stefankocev moves through photography, Jiu-Jitsu, surf, and fatherhood with a rare sense of presence.
Raised between Venice and New York, he came up inside worlds where style, discipline, and real life were never separate.

From Rickson’s circle to Shoyoroll’s early visual identity, his path connects some of the most influential edges of modern Jiu-Jitsu culture.

But his work has always reached beyond the mat, toward film, nature, recovery, and the quiet truth of everyday life.

In this conversation, Stefan reflects on lineage, image-making, and the deeper values behind his work, including the healing mission of Bodhi Casa.

Can’t Knock The Hustle like stay up, be water and keep making hits like ad meliora means onto better things.

See the [CKTH x SESSION: POINT BREAK REDUX] link in bio — for a first hand account by @johnvincentcampbell as to the making of the @ckthinc campaign photoshoot that pays homage to John Philbin’s final scene in Point Break as well as the late great @mikalajones__.

A two-part series with @sessionthemag. Shout out.

Special thanks to John Philbin (as Nathanial from the Ex-Presidents), @stefankocev (as himself), @zplopper (as “Agent Mike Castillo”), @jjorrdiigiirrl (as “Navigator 00”) and @samjohn8991 (as “The Guy Behind The Guy”).

And big ups to The Super Lucky Sweepstakes. Enter via the [THE SUPER LUCKY SWEEPSTAKES] link in bio.

On May 30, one lucky winner will receive an exclusive prize package from @ckthinc, XIIIG @aka13g, @sessionthemag, @bakersurfcraft, @faro_boardbags & @nully1999.

Special note: Said prize package includes a historic and pioneering wetsuit innovation: The @00akadoublezero by XIIIG @aka13g PICTA Multisport: Aka a 4/2/1.5MM — built for Surf, Swim, Kite, SUP, etc — that is the world’s lightest, warmest & most durable wetsuit ever built, pound for pound. This is because the PICTA Multisport features @nasa Aerogel, in addition to our world-class #ogoptimumtechnology from the Yamamoto Corporation (Aerogel is one of the advanced materials that enables spacecraft to re-enter the earth’s atmosphere).

And in the spirit of #ckthisgoodkarma all entrants also get:

*A special savings code for XIIIG @aka13g & @00akadoublezero products

*50% savings on a yearly physical subscription to @sessionthemag

*Automatic sweepstakes entry in the June Super Lucky Sweepstakes [Part Deux] package — including a complimentary one-night stay at the @longfellowhotel in Portland, Maine (aka a second chance opportunity for everyone)

*CKTH’s official Speed Training Regimen designed by one of the nation’s top collegiate Track & Field coaches (aka @wallinj2) — in the spirit of continued improvement (aka Kaizen)

Can’t Knock The Hustle like stay up, be water and ad meliora means onto better things. Tell a friend. Cheers & Enjoy #ckth cantknockthehustle taken in San Diego, California by @stefankocev

[FEAT] The Liber Jacket (aka “The Ninja Jacket”) by #XIIIG @aka13g: All-weather. Multi-sport. Cross-terrain. And built from world-class #Japanese membrane technology. The Liber represents functionally superior #thermoregulation that is waterproof and wind-blocking — yet breathable. Unlike other #waterproof outerwear that inevitably overheats and leaves you perspiring inside, the Liber’s design, construction and advanced materials mean that you and your body’s thermostatic line don’t have to sweat it. Other premium & technical amenities include: Underarm vents. Side-zip for easy entry. A canted front #anorak design that is built for quiet speed (and so that you never have a zipper slider underneath your chin). A #helmet-compatible hood embedded with the intuitive @cohaesive cord-lock system (shout out to making things better). Adjustable cuffs and waist-line. Hidden stash pockets throughout. Importantly, true to its #ninja nicknaming and stealth aesthetic, the Liber also comes standard with a snap-in #balaclava. The XIIIG Liber Jacket is perfectly suited for post-winter surf sessions, navigating a #backcountry blizzard or daily #bike commuting throughout your city. Email info@ckth.com for more knowledge as to how the XIIIG Liber Jacket can also be further personalized for #Moto or #Tactical applications. Like ad meliora means onto better things. Special thanks to @retrosuperfuture for the #racer shades (not included). See [THE XIIIG LIBER JACKET] link in bio Cheers & Enjoy #ckth #cantknockthehustle #thetaooftheway #ecosidesiomemena #xiiigwalktheearth #xiiigliberjacket #xiiigninjagame taken in San Diego, California by @stefankocev
