Alex Knost unplugged, the world pukes in its collective mouth a little
Okay, so most of the surfing world already knows that Alex Knost is a guy you either love or hate. You can admire his surfing both on a longboard, where his unique style and progressive surfing is almost unrivaled, or on a shortboard, where he can hang with the best. Ultimately, it will be his personality and character that pull you into his camp or make you want to puke. I fall into the latter group. His surfing is admirable, but his on land persona has much less appeal. He is the hipsters’ hipster, always trying his hardest to be ironically different. Barrel dodging 30-40 somethings and wannabe retro throwbacks generally revel in his queerness. Alex has even cited his own hate-ability in a pre-premier interview regarding this DVD of his, where he said, “Half of the people that watch it won’t understand it, and the other half will want to punch me in the face.” I fall into the latter half, as I wasted a few minutes of my life on the preview that I will never get back, a video that featured movie highlights such as Alex making his own skin tight shorts out of skin tight jeans. Check out the video above for a brief glimpse at a day in the life of one of my least favorite douchebags. Try to hold back your vomit when he starts talking about his poetry. Enjoy!

You just wish you could write poems like he does, addict.
his styles different, so you dont like him? i dont think you appreciate longboard style! addict
Don’t hate Al Knost because he writes poems on napkins, hate Al Knost that his third generation rip off of Wire via Elastica.
i don’t get the problem. he is not hard to understand nor do i want to punch him or puke. he is a run of the mill silverlake/k town kid, so who cares? he is a dime a dozen on land and one in a million in the water.
yea he isnt that special or that annoying he is just a hipster breeding with surfing thus making surfing now hip
I happened to be a surfer, who by default got stranded inland in silverlake (long story I care not to go into). I see hipsters everday. Everday I walk out of my apt and its like an alex knost fashion show of awfulness. I can’t stand it and I’m looking forward to finally making my move to the westside of town. Although as a majority I feel once you get to know a lot of them they aren’t so bad as long as your B.S. detector is turned up to 11. But yes Alex definitely has that aura of “I hate your face” about him.
@rob
go ahead, move to the westside and get out of my neighborhood faggot
trip hansen is a skimboarder.
eh…at least Alex doesn’t have moobs!
