Humour and surfing? Yes! It exists!
I just sent an email telling Derek I’m taking the day off. The wife’s playing hooky from work, and I just can’t get anything done while she’s around. Not that what I do is particularly difficult, it’s just hard to string together a coherent thought while your life partner is chattering away in your ear like a magpie.
Then I saw this video, and, wow, it’s funny. Not very much good surf related humor floating around. Surfing is serious business, people get upset about everything. Companies in decline, the dying vestiges of the Momentum/post-Momentum Gen guys looking at the rapidly approaching end of their careers. Everyone is very touchy.
Recently cost us some ad revenue, though I’d argue that bitching about content then pulling a purely theoretical ad campaign, one that hasn’t been run or been paid for, is just a means to manipulate editorial without actually coughing up any cash.

My dad did something similar when my brothers and I were fighting like wildcats during a car ride. “We were going to go to Disneyland, but now we aren’t, because you’re bad!”
We were never going to Disneyland.
Anyway, again, this is funny. And since it’s only got 1000 views at the moment, maybe they’ll be stoked we share it, rather than threaten legal action.

Hilarious! “Cooks Go Home”
At my local beach some dimwit spray painted “Locals Park <- , Tourists Park ->”. I always park in the Dimwit defined Tourist area cause some man , trying to stick it to the man by telling some not so manly tourists where to park ain’t gunna tell me where I can park.
Ok, that’s my 2 comments for the week.

Hell yeah Inside SoCal! Don’t think parodies of the SD/OC lifestyle get any better than what these guys did. Stoked they made it all the way to SNL.

People, you have no idea how true this statement is. The total brand spend on surf media advertising has been significantly slashed and not because of a perceived inefficiency but more about a greedy manipulation of what once was a mutually beneficial relationship: Brands made clothes, media supported sponsored athletes, consumer bought product. And it worked so who fucked that up?

haha magpie love it!
Great South Bay accent. Nailed that one. Liking the Kobe #8 jersey too. Bro.
“We were going to go to Disneyland, but now we aren’t, because you’re bad!” Same shit happened to me… and now I pull it with my girlfriend, though it’s a little different. “We were going to Disneyland, but now we aren’t, because you just spent all our money :(“… wait, it’s nothing similar, we really don’t have any money, damn
It’s good to see you’ve moved on from Karissa so soon. I hope things start to look up for you financially too.
