Maybe joining ex-stablemate Dane Reynolds in bold new venture!
Remember when BeachGrit served you the piping hot rumor that Craig Anderson, the Craig Anderson, might be thinking about slow dancing away from Quiksilver? That subhead:
Read here today! Or on Stab tomorrow!
And the glorious words:
BeachGrit‘s Cardiff-by-the-Sea desk traded T-Mobileservice for Coconut Wireless over the weekend and things are jamming off the top because guess what? (Allegedly) Craig Anderson, the Craig Anderson, is trying to climb out of his freshly signed Quiksilver contract and join ex-stablemate Dane Reynolds in the great wide open!
The wind was howling into my source’s coconut, somewhere across the sea, so details were muddled, at best, but it was suggested that young Ando was interested in (purportedly) starting his own line. As you may, or may not, know the boy rides for HUF as well, an upstart skateboarding label with an eye toward stylish minimalism. (look here!) He is the only surfer on the team unless Joey Pepper is also a surfer. Might HUF be broadening into the surf-wear market? Might Ando be the next John Galliano and design a fabulous line of very chic newspaper boardshorts?
Reading it tomorrow on Stab was the only thing wrong. It took our wonderful friends one month but now we are all together, happily thinking what Craig will now do! Except I maybe know! It is what I first said one month ago!
Rumors from possibly another country have floated across my desk that Craig Ando will, in fact, join Dane Reynolds in his new brand which is still just a rumor but called allegedly Destroyer. Remember when Dane made Craig’s movie? They are the two best friends that anyone could ever have!
Will you buy Destroyer? Are you excited about it and will you tell your friends to buy it too?

I’ll reserve judgement until I see the actual product but the premise is exactly what surfing needs. An actual surfer owned company with credible creative routes (barring the black nail polish – that can get fucked). I’m hoping for a mashup of Saturdays and Bianca Chandon.
I was with you ’till you mentioned Saturdays…
The name destroyer sounds so 1990. I sort of expect more creativity. Course if Dane slapped his name on a line of brown frown it will sell pounds but I’m long past the sport f $!# stage.
if ya look at chicks at the moment (which i did once, and I’m sorry) the year 1990 seems like a future goal. lace choker necklaces!? do these girls know what sorts of girls used to wear these?
Just when I thought it was beginning to be safe to go back to the mall, say it isn’t so! Way back in my high school days the sort always sketched me out, I was terrified, mortified even. I would gladly embrace the hipsters for a little while longer.
If Ando is involved I will be less inclined to buy… He’s no Destroyer. More “Winged Unicorn”
I liked it when people compared him to a barely born giraffe. Though he has the hair of a lion. Are you allowed to roast people on a website you’re involved in? That’s the job I need.
sleeveless Deus shirts would be out of business
I like everything about it, but I’m an whore and an optimist. However, if Rocco is in fact involved…
We all know what Rocco does……………
I was stumbling home this dull, grey evening, head down, spine tired, shoved by damp cold shoulders in madding crowds, pouring in and out of tubes and buses, when i overhead the softest whisper, ‘Ando’s joined Dane’s br…’ abruptly cut-off by the horn of a truck. Out i pushed, in a spark flickered, dropping my briefcase i ran, leapt, i bounded home down side streets up hills! Could it be? Has it happened! Teeth chattering, clumsy fingers type ‘vbeaachgeit’ into google but it’s enough! Enough! In all the chaos and despair! Against all odds! Finally, we are here, with a symbiotic partnership based on truth, beauty and love! Ando! Dane! Destroyer!
England?
The beginning of the end.
Too much English.
No and no, but the kids might feel differently.
Of course you’ll buy Destroyer, they’ll be rare collectors items in 6 months, just like my Summer Teeth gear.
