Summer of Surf by H&M

It yet another example of ridiculous surfing consumerism, H&M, the Swedish (there’s no surf there) clothing outsourcer created an ad for the masses in the summer of 2007. H&M’s Summer of Surf is actually pretty hot, in those examples where a girl could actually wear the stuff their promoting, shown below. Surfing is sexy blah [...]

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.

Intel Shows Off a Web-Surfing 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 [...]

Introducing the “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 [...]

“iJoy” watching people make fools of themselves

An all time low for board sport trainers, the iJoy balance board looks like the biggest waste of money. Ever. Really, you just stand on it, and you set it to an intensity (if that’s what you want to call it…) and then - BAM! - it shakes! That thing looks easier [...]

Ronald McDonald surfing

The collective surfing world upchucked it’s Happy Meal today.

Fuel TV’s The Daily Habit rocks, plays douchey music

First off, I love my Fuel TV. Most of their shows and programs are unreal.  From Fins and On Surfari, to the surf videos and contests that they run, they definitely do things right.  As a non-skater/snowboarder, I’m even addicted to much of their skating and snow programming.  Capping all this [...]

Surfer with too much time on his hands

We’re all for entrepreneurialism.

But the surfer or non-surfer who conceived off this wine stopper with a surfing edge didn’t really, umm, think about it before making it and selling it on Ebay. This is NOT getting me stoked to drink wine, NOR surf. Not stoked.

The Google Surfboard - Just when you thought surfing was safe from Google

Google. It’s everywhere. It’s the tool that helps you surf the net and find great sites like DailyStoke.com (hehehe) but it also helps you find webcams and surf reports. That said, to date, Google has not invaded the surfing world. That day has come, the the first ever Google surfboard. Now, we suspect some of [...]

Gone Postal!

The US Postal Service has got a pretty damn corporate-y surfing post code guide or something like that, pictured here. It’s a dude, surfing in a suit. Blech.
The best part is that this particular guide book is for Nebraska and Wyoming! Hehehe. It’s Photoshop madness.
