"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?

I don’t see any sign of this design on the WSL site…?
Otto going to paddle out, he’s got to share the lineup.
the hat is cool though
Looks fine to me. Maybe just add the dates or at least the year. Who gives a shit.
Needs more Comic Sans.
I was shoulder hopping a few.
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 rate it , change it up. Has to better than flogging some dead cunts image.
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.
I hope for the next contest art they just rip off some Nagel prints.
we are the band ruffled feathers and we’ll be performing live at the halftime show at the pro sunset AND THE SUPER BOWL..& the natives are not happy about it!

you got a lil ding-a-ling…
The odds are against them they getting decent conditions at Sunset mid-February. NonJohn prays for the worst, in the most wellness of gratitudes.
I thought my friend was joking when he said it was on yesterday.
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…
Hot garbage
just when you thought a surf event poster couldn’t get any worse, generic or soulless then the billabong pipeline pro one, here comes Hurley. awful stuff.
ottograph, please!
