Impress nana.
It seems like many decades ago when Carver, Sector 9 and other companies made a hard push to bring that surfing feeling to land because it was. Innovative truck design, boards that dipped and carved as if they were on water, not nana’s driveway, professional surfers advertising.
Whoosh, slash, yeah.
Very wonderful but I don’t know if the market ever reached its full potential as I rarely saw anyone hitting nana’s driveway’s lip, though that all may be about to change for Prestige Magazine out of Hong Kong has luxury surf skates are the must have accessory for the posh cool kids.
“In terms of extreme sports, there’s probably nothing hotter than surf skating at the moment,” the piece begins. “Just like how skateboards had their share of the spotlight back in the ’90s, surf skating is the new cool kids’ sport of 2021. While they may look similar to skateboards, surf skates come with a pointed front—similar to how surfboards would usually look. Simply put, they’re like smaller-sized, in-land surfboards designed to simulate the movements of surfing. Unlike skateboards, surf skates are designed for techniques like turning and ‘snapping’ that allow surfers to hone their skills during their time off from the beaches when it’s low season for surfing.”
Is Z-Flex set to see a sales boom?
Unfortunately not. The market is so hot that all the luxury houses are now in the game. To be counted amongst the posh cool kids you must either shred Hermès…
…Fendi…
…Chanel…
…Or Versace.
Nana will be impressed.

Always thought the appeal of skateboarding is you can essentially do it anywhere. It’s a great idea…let’s take an activity that’s main draw is its accessibility and redesign and market it as the exact opposite. That Versace board is $800 bucks…what quality of bearings and trucks do you think you get for that? Just get a Kardashian/Jenner to pose with it on the IG and people will buy that trash. I suggest anyone thinking of getting into the skateboard market watch the hunting scene in the movie The Deer Hunter first “This is this, it’s not anything else.”
Ouch!
I’ve got a small collection of antique skateboards in the attic.
Ahh bring back Midget Farrelly skateboards, but say no to Surfer Sam’s – the worst trucks ever invented!

I’ll get back to you as soon as I can with a sketch that the psych-boffins in R&D have come up with. Need to go down to the dungeons and stir them up to get it.
Piss biscuits. And its a travesty nobody has sold them in the shape of male genitalia yet.
Here it is!
The boffins didn’t want me to reveal this secret weapon in the emoji piss-cake wars, but i wrestled it from their hands.
Shhhh. Don’t tell anyone. Thank goodness only about 12 people visit this stupid site anyway. https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
Thank you on behalf of myself and the other 11.
I want to see two of these chics dressed like that, fighting in a garage on the strand….
So, really just similar to what we had in the ’70’s but with euro fashion branding ?
Hhmmm…
I believe they are also known as ‘cakes’ but our marketing department hasn’t come up with a viable alternative yet.
I like ‘cube’ but we’re planning a range of emoji-esque surf-themed forms so ‘cube’ doesn’t cut it.
Pffff.
They aren’t luxury compared to Hurluley.
Wait til you get a whiff of our new line of urinal deodorant lumps.
Surf skateboards are the surf skateboards of the surf world
Fuck I gave myself some serious injuries skateboarding, certainly couldn’t handle the pain these days. I say good on anyone bombing a few hills, stomping a set, or even just cruisin the flat, those wheel bites will get everyone one day.
Bring back Purple Skunk!!
Bring back double chamber bongs and my ability to throttle many of them!
Yeah, well…….PS was a skate shop in SF around 1998. One of the few that would build you a real downhill board.
My new brand, Chanel island surfboards with Gucci patterned fins and a Coach leash cup for the provinance you desire, sure the second you walk away from your Tesla it’s also going to get broken into, but you can afford that.
Chanel island is genius Balls.
I reckon Hermès “ THE GOD OF SPEED “ would possibly be a better name for , let’s say , a motorcycle , just to please suppliers of amphetamines all over the world but I don’t want to become a Bone ( s Brigade ) of Contention so fuck it
Wow Surfing is out ….SKATEBOARDING IS IN ( thank Christ for that ) …..As much as I love Girls ( with or without a skateboard ) wearing Mini Skirts in latex , leather , spandex etc they just can’t compete with the 80s topless g string wearing girls of Cronulla or the happily nude French Girls on the beach in Sud Ouest France in the 90s ….. You were WUNDERBAR
Though I would recommend to all those wonderful girls who work in politics in Oz , today , to pick up the skateboard , and bring it down hard on the dinosaurs who haven’t worked out that women are wonderful ….. goodnight Alan Jones goodbye Cordeaux and your very bad hair cut …… Rise Up RISE UP ……
SURELY MEN ARE NOT AFRAID OF INTELLIGENT BEAUTIFUL WOMEN and feel the need to treat them like objects ?
Have you seen the latest super model?
They will be eating shit just like everyone else. Dick’s cool with this fad.
Dick or should I call you Richard ?
You are right it is a CONCRETE JUNGLE out there !

Up to you Jim.
I assume you are many things , perhaps , plus and minus , matter antimatter so I find myself somewhat troubled by this DICKOTOMY
Richard cranium, Rich Whiteman.
And Bex enters the chat….
It’s balls, balls McLongdick sir.
I know, but Bex has a thing for rich white men.
Peta Credlin is my new hero
See I’m very modern and mildly progressive
Stick with PETA. They went a bit off the deep end when they had a crack at Steve Irwin, but their heart is closer to the right place.
Condom will try to head him off at the pass …
You know this is all Kelly’s fault. Maybe he’s doing us a favor. That damnation in Lemoore. It’s nearly square for Christ sake.. Like hitting a concrete lip. Kelly brought the posh to Lemoore that’s for sure.
On the subject of Le Moore or less here is our girl Julianne Moore who is not so square as Maude Lebowski in English and French talking about Lips ,… but not those of the concrete kind
