Joel at Pipe on a Bonzer

Stumbled across this video while lurking on the erBB. Rob Machado has a wave or two in there as well.

It looks fun...then again, Pipe looks like the type of wave that is way shallower and death defying when it is small.

Beach Blanket Burnout (Review)



Two Thumbs Down...

0 Stars...


This so called artistic, new age, hipster, film begins with a subtitle that reads..."THE HANGOVER OF A POP CULTURE." I thought this subtitle was the most creative part of the while whole film. The slogan grabs the attention of the audience stimulating the mind which in turn tries to achieve some kind of profound meaning. The only problem is that if your going to make such a bold statement at the beginning of a film the audience is going to want evidence to support it. The film in no way shape of form produces any meaning of "THE HANGOVER OF A POP CULTURE." What the film does achieve for the audience is absolute boredom, shitty writing, and over dramatic pompous hipsters running around smoking cigarettes, having tea, and throwing their surfboards. Give us a break this has all been done before. It seems to me that this film is trying to document a culture that is not real. This "Pop Culture..." or in other words "Newport Beach Surf Culture" is simply trying to hard, and the build-up and production of this film is proof. I do not want to sit here and bash Alex Knost because he is a nice guy and he has done some cool things for alternative surfing. I mean I would rather watch Alex and his friends surf then watch the top WCT riders blow their fins out the back followed by four reverses on one wave. I just feel he needs to stick to surfing and the progressive style he brings to longboarding. Let us get back to the film... The film is just over done, every shot is too long and the little surfing there is can be classified as mediocre. I'm sure Tyler Manson and Alex Knost will have many excuses for why this is an art film and at the top of their list it probably reads "Art for Art's Sake" but give me a fucking break this whole thing is a joke with the Alex Knost Cult Community backing it. What I don't understand is how such an artistic driven company like RVCA can back such a lame piece of work. I gave this film a shot and was highly disappointed. I laughed more at the things they were trying to do because I really did not understand how these guys wanted to be taken seriously. To me they sat down and said, "Let's open the film with a make out scene, then I will have a smoke, then I will mess up my hair, then i will pack my punk tapes for my Walkman( so vintage brah!), next I will have some tea and bitch about nothing, then I will go surf, and then I am going to get pissed and throw my board around screaming profanities like a bitch. I will challenge anyone that comes up to me and says, "Well like if you think about it, it's kind of cool" or "Yeah, I get what they are trying to do" or "I respect them for taking the risk of the idea." NO! The people that say this are the ones trying to make excuses for this so called "Pop Culture" we live in. What really gets me going is that this was suppose to be for surfers and it only shows surfing for about four minutes out of the thirty one minute film. I'm sure Tyler and Alex are proud of their film and I am sure people enjoy this film but I thought it was crap and I wasted thirty minutes of my life. Stop trying to relive the past with your hobbies, fashion, and art. This film makes me depressed to be involved in a culture that lacks such originality. Enjoy...
