Kook Kord

The leash ruined surfing.

Yes I use them occasionally. When there are actually waves, a rocky shoreline, etc.

Waist high mushy beachbreak. No chance.

Dudes on SUPs...wrap it around your neck.



Yes.














No.

I'm already "that guy" on here, so fuck it

I'm not an angry person...really. I just have an extremely low tolerance for stupid fucking bullshit. Is it just me, or is anyone else fed up with the longboard scene? Campell's movies have really caught on in the mainstream surf eye and while that's cool and everything, its also made it pretty damn stagnant. The great lenghts top log dudes are going through to achieve that "non-confomist" hipster, basquiat esque, art, punk, ect image becomes problematic when looks are based on ripping other people off, or simply being living breathing contradictions that frustrates us jealous types who don't get paid to surf.

EX. 1 can be seen in this image display of very unique products and logo. Keep in mind when i say unique I really mean total fucking rip off. We've got Anti-hero skateboards, and The Cramps getting straight jacked here. I don't even know what to say about that fin, except HOLY SHIT SOMEBODY CALL THE MOZ, cause you know he ain't backing that shit.

Next off is what could quite possibly be the stupidest fucking thing i've ever seen in print. Some magazine had this to say about one of the best longboarders in so cal -- But for now he's not going corprate, "Too many people turn cultures into markets" he says--

Keep in mind this guy gets paid to surf real well, but also gets paid to be the token hipster art guy of a surfbrand whose target demographics span all the way from Jock Gnar Bro UFC guys, to the mainstream alternative crowd, thus turning that "art culture" into a market to increase capital for that surfbrand.

As a 1 time US Open longboard winner, and friend of surf and destroy's once said, "It's not even fucking about how you surf anymore, it's about the clothes you wear". Word.
Surf, Do your thing, Get exploited by a company, Get paid, and be stoked on it. Everyone else would be.

stupid fucking hippy's

If you've been anywhere in the south bay/Venice beach area you have probably noticed those obnoxious little trees hanging from telephone lines. Sometimes there cardboard, other times there water bottles with the little fucking tree stickers on them, sometimes there constructed out of steel. The people behind this litter campaign are Hippy Tree clothing company. For a company that is trying to cash in on the whole Green, Environmentally friendly, socially conscious, whatever the damn gimick that just about every company is now doing and in my opinion is also doing an effective job of trivializing the whole matter, hippy tree has succeeded in making complete hypocrite hippy ass'es of themselves. I'm no Einstein but isn't that thin piece of twine holding the stupid fucking trees up on the power lines subject to the same consequences of weather as anything else? Or does it have magic hippy powers? In other words won't that shit eventually fall down and become just another piece of trash in the street to get kicked in the gutter and flow to our beaches? Somebody please correct me if i got it tweaked somehow, but until then, fuck you hippy tree. fuck you, fuck your super original artistic guerilla marketing campaign, and fuck your smug artistic photos of your litter that i could do in 30 seconds in photoshop.



Who's bitter?
