This one will end badly unless Kelly Slater pays up!
Say what you will, but TransWorld Surf (RIP) under the benevolent dictatorship of Chris Cote was the high water mark of the surf industry. Its PG-13 antics crackled with juvenile charm! Its bright colors and razor sharp broisms showed that anyone, literally ANYONE, could ride the wave to surf fame and fortune!
Do you remember the TransWorld film Tomorrow Today? Of course you do. It featured Clay Marzo, Dane Reynolds, Bob Martinez and Mike Losness.
Do you know who else remembers it? Kelly Slater!
Our 16 time World Champ has decided to use Tomorrow Today as his OuterKnown marketing campaign. Do you know who he has decided not to pay for the honor?
Chris Cote!
Chris was in Australia, of course, calling Cape Fear and is now in Brazil calling a skate event but would say…
“Kelly! Kelly Slater! I’m coming for you, Brozo the Clown!”
…if I called him.
What do you think Kelly should give to Chris? $8.50? His spot on the WSL World Tour? Eight cans of Purps and one OK Beanie? Two and a half barrels in the wave pool?
What?
surfers of fortune to surfers of fashion
both deserve a big fat lubed up dilly straight to the corn hole.
I cant look at the outerknown logo without reading it as outer nown.
forget the UnKnown puns.
i have bigger news!
how to decipher Cote’s annoying dribble and slater’s conspiracy theory pseudo intellectualism
As aliens were shoving yet another probe up my ass (which i might add had a nice shape to it, boy times have changed) i swiped this.
The saviour of surf stitch for sure. better than sharkbanz!
although, i think my version is broken. it just keeps repeating: ‘dumbs. dumbs. dumbs.’
although, to be fair, i wore it at STAB while attempting to read what Morgan had thrown against the wall and there was a SNAP! and the sound holyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy fucckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…
So the only product in his OuterKnown poster is a pair of Volcom boardies?

Next Week, This Week
Afternoon, Morning
Slater should’t give Cote anything until he comes up with a better tag line. Seriously? “Tomorrow. Today.” ? It’s a clothing company, not a tech startup!
Tomorrow is the new black
“…tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow…”
You’re actually a pretty decent copywriter although I like the ‘throwing a hotdog’ line the best.
Tomorrow, tomorrow, you’re always today away
yeah wheres Julie Andrews motherfucking royalty Kelly?
shoulda just streamlined it to “yeah, nah.”
the man of the moment is way ahead of his time
Outerknown
throwing a hotdog down a hallway since 2015(ish)
Chris cote surfs?
He has even been known to talk about doing airs.
He actually surfs pretty well
Okay CHRIS!
NO SHIT, HE ACTUALL RIPS
Anyone remember Coach Cote at the Globe Fiji Pro? Good grief.
Ah the Globe Fiji pro, where a company spent 50% of its annual turnover on an event that contributed exactly zero towards its turnover – what a fabulous idea.
Looks like smelly is trying to squeeze out a chocolate hot dog in that pic.
It’s still hard to imagine how jeebus fit that much annoying in a 5 foot body. Cote’ was one of the great hangers on of the surf industry.
Cote came up with more comedy and original, entertaining shiz than anyone in the history of surf publishing. He is brilliant. That’s why I hired him and left TWSurf in his hands, and he did a fucking Bang up job with it for a good long time, worked hard, and earned his place in media folklore.
And you’ve accomplished What again exactly? Besides running’ your mouth on this two-bit cyber feedbag..
RIP Transworld Surf. Loved their cover art.
I loved their paychecks.
I didn’t know Transworld owned Inertia! Bloodfeud!
