Finally but finally the surf world begins to celebrate diversity!
A very brilliant friend of mine told me recently about a Pulitzer-worthy short story he once wrote titled After Hours.
In it, the doors of the surf shop were shut for the day and the surfboards were free to speak with each other. Oh the fun! What do you imagine Matt Biolos’s Round Nose Fish would say to Channel Islands’ Rocket 9? Or Kelly Slater’s Sci-Fi to Darren Handley’s Skeleton Key?
So much to ponder.
But one thing is most certain. After the boards were done chatting with each other about various this and thats, about what Gorkin is up to or if anyone’s volume has increased substantially, they would gather around the Firewire Potato-nator, eyes wide, mouths wet and beg for stories from last night’s party.
And oh the stories that Firewire could tell! Stories detailing true love! Tales of wonderful passion!
A happy ending? It certainly looks that way.
It certainly looks that way.
I do find it funny that DR got a custom FW/Tomo not too long ago (seen it with my own two eyes!) and Chas hate hate hates the biggest brand down the street.
Between the opposing viewpoints for and against FW/Lost…/Hayden, there is clearly some schizophrenia between DR and Chas while Rory just rides whatever the fuck he rides into the sunset.
Companies are approached all the time with product placement opportunities. I’m sure Firewire jumped at the chance to reach (around?) their ‘core’ demographic.
They woulda had beards if it was a Hayden.
How can one not instantly go flaccid seeing a FireWire? End of bonk. Doom. That video is thus fake in my esteemed opinion.
I’m still left wondering ‘Is one gay before or after buying a Firewire?’
Either / or. Gay is fab! FireWire is drab!
Why jump away from the conspiracy so quickly? This is clearly another crumb left for us from the creative mind of Kelly Slater and “Apolitical Process”
hahah
No tan lines! No way.. Those guys don’t surf.
Gorkins name mentioned in gay article. Awesome. Fyi him and all the other second rate pros are trying to become surfboard shaping gurus. Not realizing its a road of despair, hunger and disrespect for 90% of the time,I would imagine their egos are literally crumbing.
2nd rate? That’s pretty generous.
I’d rather be a second rate pro surfer turned shaper than a chickenshit spewing negativite and (in this case) homophobic remarks behind the safety of anonymity
Different strokes for different folks.
For the record I love the gays, they are the classiest most terrific section of our society and should be allowed to ride firewires or be named Neal whatever they want, I’m a 90’s guy!
Gorkin is my buddy so I got a lil B-hurt there. 90’s ruled I’m playing Alice N Chains right now!
Here’s the irony before Gorkin started shaping in between lost and woo,I made him a few boards, when he decided to start shaping i was cool with it, why wouldn’t i be? Until he went off on me for ” him being a better shaper” than me after 8-9 boards saying he’d never use the computer and then using my mantra of ” its a tool ” when he bagged on me for having a few cnc made. I used to like the guy, he just turned in to prick after the rehab failure, still like him. He’s just a dick. I’m from FL and used to compete with him so understand I’m just ruffling feathers.
Yeah I’m from Santa Cruz so I get it. Carry on 👌🏻
