YÜTH MAGAZINE was created by two college kids, Carson Kropfl and Mikey Walshe. They realized that their generation felt nostalgic for things they never experienced ( vinyl, thrifted clothing, magazines, ect). So they decided to bring magazines back with their own young minds behind it, focusing on multiple sports and covering what their generation thinks is dope. The two have spent long nights putting this publication together and are very stoked to have come out with the LAUNCH ISSUE. Before you give the mag a read, you should learn more about the owners themselves. 

CARSON KROPFL 

“I grew up in San Clemente doing a little bit of everything, surfing, skating, snowboarding the list goes on. But ever since I was young I always had a passion to create. When I was 6 I was selling lemonade, then when I got bored of that I took that lemonade stand and made a skate ramp out of it. When I was 11 I found a skate deck at a garage sale and decided to take it home and cut it up to make a skateboard that could fit in my backpack and locker. I called it “Locker Board” and started selling them at lunch to friends. A year later I was featured on Shark Tank for the board and landed an investor. Now I'm 19 and somehow a publisher. Me and Mikey have the most fun job ever, we have creative freedom to do whatever we want with Yüth. It makes every day such a mystery and I'm excited to see the future.”

MIKEY WALSHE 

“I've lived in San Clemente California my whole life and I never want this city to change. Growing up I spent most of my days playing Baseball and doing a little bit of everything else. I used to always sell things like bracelets and pokemon cards in middle school to raise money for various different causes and being an entrepreneur has always been a dream of mine. Fast forward to freshman year of college, I had an idea and called the only person it would be right to do it with. From then on Yüth Magazine is something we work everyday on. I think at the end of the day I saw people missing that old school vibe that things like records, vintage clothing, and magazines all have. Speaking from experience people are also fed up with the never ending wormhole social media has turned into. Those two things combined are why I am passionate about continuing this magazine on. The brand had become my baby in a sense. Yüth is still in its baby stages, and there is a lot more coming.”
