There are two schools of thought - or two different debates - when it comes to surfing. One: Longboarding or shortboarding? Longboarding is better. That one’s easy. Moving on to the second: Leash or No Leash? I thought I’d cast my vote in this debate (er, school of thought), since the first one is an [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
I don’t know about you, but I seriously had a problem sleeping at night knowing that my precious boards were leaning precariously against a wall. It grinds my gears. But you know what? I decided to make a place wear my boards could sleep at night, feel protected, and not get dinged. [...]
Seriously, though, if someone tells you that a board “floats” and that they “don’t have a camera” to take pictures, then obviously, that board is NOT in “good condition.” It just don’t add up, man.
That’s like saying “this board is a piece of crap - but at least it floats!” … Ok.
Don’t you hate it when you buy your brand new stick, you pick it up, turn around - BAM! - you just bang the tai against the rack of boards - before you even get out of the store! Even if you can’t see any visual damage, you obsess over the trauma, and have [...]
You thought that the airlines have got you screwed? Think again!
I was perusing the internet, looking at some surf-site regulars when I noticed an ad to the side - the Luggage Club. Apparently, they specialize in transporting sporting goods as an alternative to checking it in as luggage at the airport. They [...]
In case you were optimistic towards an opportunity to adopt, no, the baby doesn’t come with the board. When I saw this little tidbit of information on the Craigslist post, I almost cried because my hopes of being a big brother were put down once and for all. My little surfing buddy… [...]
You ever thought about a way to tell time in the water without wearing a pesky watch? Me neither. Which is why I find this surfboard (or is it a clock?) quite questionable. I don’t know whether to critique it or applaud it. On one hand, it’s a frickin’ cool clock [...]
And you thought Polynesians were the first people to start the legacy of surfing! What were you thinking? All jokes aside, I’m really not sure what happened in this Craigslist offering. De-lamination? Thrown in a fire? Moldy foam? Since I can’t really figure it out, I think that [...]
