Entrepreneurship is the gasoline upon which economies run.
Folk get employed. Other folk get employed.
Lots of folk get employed and our world gets better as pesky animals go extinct, leaving us more room to entrepreneur.
And would you allow me to introduce the Surf Knob that is apparently endorsed by Kolohe Andino, Jordy Smith, Joel Parkinson and Gabriel Medina.
It will change your surfing life like it changed theirs and put the vacquita extinct allowing more room in the ocean for our pop ups.

He’s that dude! Raptors in 6.
Hmmmm.
I almost ordered a pair too to stick on the wall of the guest bedroom just to confuse and stimulate discussion with visitors we have sometimes. They even come in all sorts of sizes, the biggest ones are almost 2lbs each!!
I was chomping at the bit while reading that article, depressingly excited to the lay into this dorky surf accessory. After an alternate nostril breathing Meditation, it dawned upon me that the bone spur in my cervical spine that’s causing neuropathy in my hands and arms and wrists might enjoy this stupid lookin idea. The problem I see is getting your foot hooked up hooked up mid turn if it slid towards the knob. Christ, they sure are askin for it though!

Warriors in 4, Kawhi to LAC.
Perfect for the techie / office VAL that would want to buy shit to overcompensate for ability. Who knows how much useless shit you could add to a Wavestorm ?!
Surf Knobs is right.
These will go great with my new all purpose warm water reef booties.
I am just speechless. Wtf?? Wouldn’t they get in the way when you are paddling for the wave? Which is kind of necessary before you even pop up. And duh, who removes their hands from the board before their feet are planted? Again, it’s kind of necessary to keep your hands on the board unless maybe he was springing up 3 feet in the air above his board on his takeoffs like a gymnast and landing on it upright when his feet finally contacted. World class wankery!!
Second thought, this guy would make a perfect addition to the WSL team of experts on all things surfing.
I´m speechless…
Utterly . . .

Ah , I get it , a portable Silicon Valley for VALs …?
The silicone “valley” will definitely be needed to accommodate those “pop-ups” . .
I initially thought this guy was the real knob, but after having time to reflect on it I think he deserves some credit. the knobs will give others a clear cue that the knobber is ripe for fading without needing to wait until they blow the first wave. I also think he deserves some credit for not waving the white flag and getting a SUP.
true… but then they still come out when they shouldn’t..
you may also end up getting caught inside more often as you instinctively motor boat them on paddle out.
I watched 30 seconds of this entrepreneurial vid on mute and immediately received Max Headroom vibes from the shrouded in green fella, doing the pitch. https://uploads.disquscdn.c…

For reference : apologies in advance for replying to myself.
My webbed gloves keep getting hung up on my knobs.
Don’t work so well for me.

Titillating discovery ! Thanks for keeping us abreast of current trends …..
I reckon they would be cheaper than the surf knobs. half the price and twice the fun.
We ain’t nothing but mammals . I like to milk it ….
I was surfing at Woolamai years ago across the channel from Bethany Hamilton when they were running the woman’s comp. I noticed she actually had something similar on her board to duck dive.
Yeah but she’s got a legitimate reason . .
And anyway, hers is a handle and is in the center
Of course. It was an observation.
Problem solved
Velcro gloves work better on wool . .
I love this time of year in my parts (sarcasm). first the waves start to go to sleep for their months long siesta. second folks start driving around with boards on their roofs no matter the day, waves or no waves, they walk down to the beach for the day with their epoxy/plastic/foamie lb’s and sit and watch the ankle biter mile long closeouts. Lastly, you see the val’s with 800$ firewires unprotected, strapped to their roofs driving on the highways and byways…
Val Lives Matter.
Who’s gonna start selling the T shirts first???
