Seen on Craigslist – Surfboard Bag Shoulder Strap for $10!

surfboard_bag_strap

It never ceases to amaze what people will do to earn surfing gas money. On Craigslist, you can get some sweet deals. It's the tool of choice for selling a used surfboard. Apparently for a Santa Monica surfer, it's also a place to sell a Surfboard Bag Shoulder Strap for $10. In case - you know - you lost yours. Comes with a free bar of Tropical Sex Wax! Actually, no it doesn't, but you kinda half expect to be comped. … [Read more...]

Umm, no thanks

This is just ridiculous. Do marketing folks think this is actually interesting? It's boring, and even the clothes are ridiculous. Nice surf hats though - that'll keep the sun away. … [Read more...]

Surfer gives up surfing too early

surfer_gives_up

Well that just sucks. Saw this on Craigslist Newport beach the other day. Land lover indeed. It's a sign of the end of summer. Poor ex-surfer gets frustrated at a sport that requires a serious commitment to fail, failure, fail again, can't paddle fast enough, pearling and other general kookiness. But man when you get over the hump, it's fantastic. Surfing is orgasmic! Here, our California frustrated surfer dude owns a G&S longboard that he's hoping to dump for the not-quite-a-bargain price of … [Read more...]

A Kook’s Guide to: Not looking like a kook while walking up to your break

clusterfk

(Sorry Mr. Kook, I know that kookiness is your domain, but I had to do this subject - Feel free to put up any posts using the title "A Kook's Guide to" if you want...) Disclaimer: This is a parody meant to be read by real surfers. But read this as if you were a clueless kook. That is the the only way that this post will be funny. You have been warned. 1. If you are in wetsuit weather, walk up with your wetsuit hanging around your waist. It's a sign that you are too cool to put on your wetsuit … [Read more...]

Perils of pearling while “surfing”

Ahh yes. Goat boats. We're sure it's quite a rush to surf down the face of a wave in a big mofo of a boat. But, as any kook knows, pearling happens from time to time. It can be rescued. You've got to push yourself off of the deck of your board etc. etc. Anyway, that's a LOT harder to do when you're surfing with a mammoth, 40 ton boat. Sucks to be, umm, all of them. Serves them right for (probably) taking over the break. … [Read more...]

Intel Shows Off a Web-Surfing Surfboard

surf-the-web-while-on-surfboard

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 if I simply summarized what the article is about, I feel that it is necessary to paste the stupidest part of the article: "Ralph Bond, a spokesman … [Read more...]

Celebrities who can stand next to surfboards: Kardashian #2

kourteney_kardashian

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... Caption: "Does this board make my a$$ look big? I hope so, 'cause my sister gets all the attention with hers." Writer's Note: I will never drink Sierra Mist again. Writer's Shopping List: Find new vodka mixer. … [Read more...]

Introducing the “Surf Simulator”

surf-simulator?

According to it’s UK promoter, Corporate Leisure International (http://www.corporateleisure.co.uk/), the ‘Surf Simulator “gives you the opportunity to ‘ride the tube‘ without getting your feet wet“. Huh? A sign the Corporate world is REALLY out of touch? Nah, just another way to have fun at a party. CLI, an event business, also offers among others: snowboard, jet ski, and magic carpet(?) “simulators”. The best part? Like a mechanical bull, simulators are controlled by an operator … [Read more...]
