Violent debate rages after World Surf League unveils extremely controversial Hurley Pro Sunset Beach artwork!

"Woaahhh when do we know the line up for the festival? Only djs or we also have bands?"

The Hurley Pro Sunset Beach opens its window in exactly one day and seventeen minutes, at time of writing, and the outlook is not out-looking great. Surfline, the World Surf League’s official forecast partner, is predicting double overhead surf tomorrow which fades through midweek and gets chewed up by various winds and whatnots. Kai Lenny, as you certainly know, is one of the wildcards and birthday boy Kelly Slater will be up against his nemesis Miguel Pupo in heat seven.

And while the attention of surf fans should be clearly and cleanly locked into the other heat draws, it is being spent either defending or slandering the extremely controversial artwork rolled out in celebration of the event.

@tom_rix declared, “I like the design. MR get a wildcard?”

@egas_eymael stated, “are we going psychedelic? ok then” adding three discos dancers even though the design is neither psychedelic nor disco.

@_hvoide thought, “Should have had the design show howling winds blowing the lineup to bits.”

@odigitalsurf wondered, “Woaahhh when do we know the line up for the festival? Only djs or we also have bands?”

But where do you stand re. it?

Loving the retro or… not?

Concept is ok, execution is fuuuuckin shocking.
they have kinda juggled a few diff era’s / styles too which does not help.

the execution is what is getting me mainly, like they hired someone who obviously wasn’t up to the job… i’ve seen better flyers for 80’s nights at a friends house.

I’m concerned about what it says about climate change sea levels. The position of those waves in amongst the palm trees doesn’t leave much to the imagination.

The odds are against them they getting decent conditions at Sunset mid-February. NonJohn prays for the worst, in the most wellness of gratitudes.

WSL have out done themselves. When David Carson feels the need to comment on your new poster’s awful aesthetic you know you’ve screwed up… https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
