A rebel yell!
Three days, Project Ibelli was announced to the world. An audacious plan to wrest the levers of professional surfing power back to The People™. To radically alter professional surfing’s dull, ultra-bland current path. To support a professional surfing hero who has battled rottenly unfair injury wildcard fiascos, dirty water tactics, sponsor shortsightedness/cheapness.
How?
By crowdfunding Caio Ibelli’s surfboard nose, of course, and in a move that shocked the staid surf industry, the idea became reality then caught steam with over $5,000 of the needed $15,000 raised in only two days.
The only issue, a minor one all things considered, is that we (David Lee Scales and I), had not fully thought out what should go on his nose. A sticker advertising the podcast, where the idea was hatched, seeming more and more out of place as momentum built.
So the decision has been made to turn it all over to The People™. What would you like to see up there? What image or message?
What rebel yell do you want to reverberate through all the surfing lands?
(Nothing rude or directly anti-WSL of course.)
The only other issue, we still have $10,000 to go and must get before April 1.
Dig deep comrade.
Or shallow.
There’s no minimum.
