I came across this bizarre display of ridiculous surf consumerism during a random Google search this morning. The article was originally published by ABC News on Oct 8, 2004 …the headline screaming: “Intel Shows Off a Web-Surfing Surfboard”…a desperate attempt to save the hi-tech company from the dot.com bubble burst. Because you wouldn’t believe me [...]
Trust me, it takes a lot of balls to move from Brooklyn to Encinitas for the sole purpose of getting more surf time in your life, and I don’t even have balls. Having tried to surf out of Brooklyn for almost 3 years I finally gave up, quit my job, bought a pick up truck [...]
Do we really have to start caring about all the Kardashians now? It’s like celebrity Reagan economics. I mean, I could make some really obvious “trickle down” jokes stemming from why Kim Kardashian is famous, but I’m gonna be a lady and pass…

I’m not quite sure who is decorating the Cardiff Kook every holiday, but I’m pretty sure they’d be fun to crush a few tall boys with and paddle out.

Brit-based designer, Luella Bartley, has designed a line of beach totes for Tonic.com that make excellent stocking stuffers this holiday season.

We may love the ocean, but the truth is that surfboards are difficult to dispose of in an environmentally-friendly way. But the question is this: Are you willing to give up your quiver for a surfboard made of soda bottles? This guy doesn’t seem to mind - and he seems to be [...]
With the ridiculous increase in baggage fees, I am not sure how many surfers will be traveling with their surfboards this holiday season. But for those of you who are either die hards or just lucky enough to be traveling to a surf destination that justifies bringing your board with you, this video is [...]
River surfing looks like fun, but there is something odd and unnatural about it. I can’t put my finger on it - maybe it’s the line up that forms on land rather than in the water. Maybe it’s the fact that it’s so type-A with its orderly lines and without any jack-asses or [...]
