Ridiculous Surfing Ad from the 60s
This particular Surfing ad from the 60s is particularly ridiculous. Combining surfing and mouth wash? The message is just so obvious and ridiculous, too. Surfing is cool, ergo, mouth wash is cool. Man some mornings at Dawn Patrol, I don’t exactly brush my teeth. I’m just eager to get out. This ad didn’t change that [...]
Surfing in California: Nor Cal v. So Cal
It is tempting to talk about burritos instead of surfing when thinking about southern California and northern California. But how could I elucidate the myriad of differences between a So Cal burrito and a Nor Cal burrito? It’s too controversial. I’ll talk about surfing instead.
Today is my third day of moving from San Diego [...]
When a Pun Goes Too Far: The Intel Surfboard
Have you ever been out surfing and thought, “I wish my board had wifi?” No. Me neither. But, the largest semiconductor company in the world, Intel, has decided that was exactly what you wanted.
Intel, in conjunction with Jools Matthew of Jetstream Surfboards, has made a board with a Tablet PC, a video camera, solar panel, [...]
Surf Designs by Daniel - surfboard p*rn spotted
Beautiful shapes and other surfboard porn at Surf Designs by Daniel. Daniel has shaped some pretty amazing watercraft, including the 11 foot (!) pintail sweet log pictured here. Wow. Make sure to check out the repair job on a 70s balsa Channin surfboard. Double whammy. It’s like taking a Volvo and turning it back into [...]
Where do we go from here?
Classic Tom Curren footage! With all the hype going around right now about Kelly Slater winning the Pipeline Masters on a 5′11″ surfboard, and what that means for new surfboard designs. It was kind of strange to see this footage of Tom Curren charging the same exact wave on what seems a 10 foot surfboard in [...]
Something Kelly Slater can’t win
This picture is hilarious, and you can’t read anything right now without the mention of Kelly Slater. He may be able to wrap his arms around anything he wants in surfing right now, but he’ll never get this “Top Gun” hair do back. Speaking of which, Kelly Slater has never been recognized as a stylish [...]
Surfer gives up surfing too early
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 [...]
Bodysurfing Pipeline: Interview with Waterman Mark Cunningham
When you think about surfing, I guarantee you do not think about hipsters. But low and behold the hipster canon of magazines—Vice Magazine—has put together a decent show on surfing. As with all hipsters, the show Hi Shredability is wary of anything corporate and mainstream, and as annoying as hipsters can be, in this case, [...]
Why Bali is Not a Surfing Paradise: Reason 1
Reason 1: the godforsaken hell known as Kuta.
This is the problem: No one wants to stay in Denpasar, where you fly into, because it isn’t near the beach. Kuta, which you’ve heard is lame, is near the beach, and so you illogically reason yourself into a taxi going to Kuta. Once there the dense barrage [...]
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.
