But what, exactly, are surf hipsters? Do you have a clear idea?
And how would you define the “hipster movement” in surfing or, more specifically, surf film? Did it begin with Kai Neville and his crew? The Modern Collective? With Dane Reynolds and his Marine Layer? And what were its marked characteristics? A lingering camera? A lit cigarette? Throwaway airs and birds?
Or does it mean single fins and beaver tails?
I don’t exactly know, to be quite honest, but there is certainly a backlash against it these days. There was, of course, Death 2 Hipsters (Did you watch? How was?) and now there is Couch Tour II which implores you:
Don’t hold your breath for some artsy fartsy “hipster” surf movie. This is going to be a down and dirty surf flick . Let this teaser set the mood featuring Balaram Stack, Ryan Carlson and TJ Gumiela. Keep an eye out for a plethora of mental clips from all the UnsOund team riders and friends.
I don’t know…something about it turns me on.
But isn’t retro 1980s font and electroclash music hipster? Oh let’s solve this riddle once and for all!
Hipsters are Sunday night at Deus in Canguu with their man buns, sleeveless tees, rolled up shorts, boat shoes and i ride a single fin tatt!
Oh yeah and sandy vaginas!
Great idea I’m getting one of those tatts!
Fuck off with all this hipster bashing. Hipster flicks are better than all this lame try hard punk shit or bogans or hippy shit or mainstream $200 Hurley boardshort wearing shit. I choose hipsters over any other subculture out there… but i am captain blackboard king of the hipsters.
Also this clip was fuckin terrible. How many air revs do they need in one trailer?? Shoulda hired some hipsters to edit this shit…
Well my 150$ volcom baggies ( that reach my knee btw) have lasted 4 oceans,3 glassing factories and more sessions than I could ever dream of counting,no rash and they’re stretchy which helps for doing lame air reverses or in your case soul arching past the best section of the day.
Cool story bro. Yeah my $40 Afends boardies have lasted just as long and just as many surfs and rather than doing lame air revs I tend to utilise the face of the wave doing actual turns or getting shacked. I don’t really surf waves small enough for airs cos I’m pretty hardcore.
Cool story to you too, but I think you left your american spirit burning in the ashtray while trying to measure dick sizes. Might want to go finish it.
American spirit? Da fuck? I’m Australian mate
this music is fuckin horrendous
hipsters>jocks
Buzzy Trent>hipsters
Surf hipster is fashion over function
Seriously what the fuck was that?
Hipsters are similar to spring breakers. They all believe they are setting some sort of precedence when in fact it has all been done before.
Replace “hipsters” with “surfers”?
Being a hipster and being insane are very similar in that the more you run around saying ” I’m not…..” the more likley you are. Denial is not just a river in Africa.
Wait where is the river?
