It's a Christmas miracle two months early!
I know that you are rude and caustic and asshole (my daughter uses “asshole” as an adjective and it is so much more brilliant. “Look at that asshole car…” “That man is asshole…” etc.) but I love Noa Deane and was very sad when he stopped surfing. Oh, I didn’t know (officially) that he stopped but assumed since he did not appear to be surfing anywhere anymore. But guess what assuming makes? It makes me asshole and you asshole.
And Noa Deane still surfs!
I have no idea how old he is but trust there is some milage left on those tires and would like him to rip some shitties (what does that mean?) before he Danes out because… I like the boy. I like his girly face. I like his weight issues. I like his guitar riffs and I like his spunk (not that spunk either and stop being asshole). I’ve liked him ever since he stepped onto Turtle Bay’s embarrassingly awful stage and said, “Fuck the WSL!
But mostly I like his surfing. I really really do and he just released a banger.
Should we watch?
DON’T BE ASSHOLE!

Fuck, that was good. Great music and better surfing.
As Bert Newton said about Mohammed Ali “I like the boy!”
He bounced back pretty well after a few floggings
Candle? Volcom made him unwatchable and they already had Andrew.
Was good. Music was too.
Saints are always going to be good. (Ed Kuepper’s Aints playing this neck of the woods soon = excited Postie)
Not so enthused on the second song. When ‘This Perfect Day’ finished I thought the clip had gone for longer, struggled to get to the end after that. May have been repetitious nature of straight airs and late drops…
I’m surprised there aren’t more Saints songs in surf vids – especially Aussie ones.
I’m also a fan of Witch (and anything J Mascis does), straight airs, and acid drops. So.
a few too many of the same air. a few too many. but it wasn’t terrible!
i kinda dig the black and white.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m trying to figure out how he does them while simultaneously belittling 6 months of effort anonymously on an internet forum. Not a lot to stand on really. Self reflection is a terrible burden.
Ha ha, totally. Oops.
Is the next book going to be titled, Stop Being Asshole, or will it be, Don’t be Asshole? My first impulse was to go with Stop Being but I’m starting to lean Don’t Be. Asshole demands exclamation point and you would be totally asshole to not be emphatic.
Daughter gifted you gold there. I’m all in.
Unfortunately this kinda surfin won’t be on display cometh 2020 🙁 Tip taps and cutbacks for the gold 🙁
Jeez, what if surfing fucking sucks?
quit
most people do, no shame in it.
almost more shame in starting it tbh
if only
If you don’t surf anymore, you never had to sell your debt to some weasel hostile takeover merchant.
i think it’s still pretty fun idk
Some good surfing there, knows how to handle slabby waves too. But those straight airs, dammit, they’re the new reverse. Overdone and boring
I just read, on the quite terrible for a multi gazzilion dollar company Volcom website, that Noa “Surfs like Dane, looks like Cobain.” I rather think he surfs like Wayne and looks like Layne.
Maybe if Cobain lived long enough to bloat out like Elvis. He does have a bit in common with Dane however, like in an ugly step-cousin kind of way
That terrible Candle font makes me think of bad tattoos, cigarette breath, smelly leather jackets, unshaved pussies and double kick drum. Just sayin’.
It really is an awful font but I think just for our aged people. Maybe the kids don’t know Candlebox?
Maybe the kids don’t know shit? 😉
maybe they dooo 😉

I’m genuinely dying.
My ears can’t unhear that.
My computer shat itself and wouldn’t function for 12 hours after that.
Did they find the secret recipe for a Pearl Jam song and combine it with lack of imagination?
Ahahaha, I hear your Candlebox and raise you with Paw.
You just described the small town I grew up in
Ha! I was re-living my 20’s!
I like to call that heaven
I love that you’re the only one here that consistently up-votes themselves Nug.
Prime Ministers and Presidents vote for themselves, so NUG is just following a precedent!
some chicks have to rub it to put themselves over the top
I’m thinking he got that font inspiration from Matt Biolos
Almost certainly.
