That's a really good board- t'was mine at one pointuntil u peed all over it before leaving it half buried in a NJ swamp?
This article does a slightly better job, but it seems to me that the NYC surf scene is invariably linked in the media to the wealthy, or to business people. Or to those who can afford two rents. This is annoying as sh*t but I guess maybe it speaks to classism and to the full steam ahead push to get rid of anyone within city limits who is blue collar or poor.that surf gentrification claim may have some stereotypical truth to it but its also a little melodramatic. The article speaks to those willing to speak to a newspaper about their surf habits - which used to be rare - but for more than a decade, speakers have been usually represented by some myopic, self obsessed, media whore (as you reference) - or local yokel grabbing a chance to show mom their NYT article as proof they are not a waste of life (as they build their surf related business in her basement). There used to be some wealthy and/or business people who knew the benefits of SingTFU about their surf habits - but then again they are probably all aging fast- its hard to find anyone under 30 that isn't publicly working on their brand or who understands the original meaning of the term "selling out". Try as you will but the Ramones are dead and there's no going back to the Lindsey days
But then again, I didn't expect much else.
Wow thanks, as a born loser, I never won anything before - now don't go pulling a Steve Harvey on me - i hope I won that Gary Hanel Egg in the Buy Sell Room - or maybe $700 million dollars!?Kelly could have used his fame to inspire people to wear their existing clothes twice as long as they used to that way he could revive the old school surfer mindset of not giving a brown trout about your clothes and in the process really shift the complex scientific models of the sustainable fashion industry. But the again there's not much green money in that

Will, get the fark away from that plug. IM PULLING IT.
I think the system will continue to evolve. They'll get better about tracking items and the values, once they see it as a competitive advantage.I'm not seeing much competitive advantage to them moving to claiming responsibility for transporting expensive to replace, large outlined, fragile, thinly glassed foam boards in soft cases for an airline designed to move masses of people, attached primarily to hard suitcases and backpacks (along with some well protected set of clubs), 24 hours a day every day. Its better to look at it from the other end of the telescope. As in your soft case needs to evolve to a more protective hard case - then the gorillas can just toss your boards as hard as they toss your suitcases into hold after hold after hold. If we are getting to the point that there are so many surfers traveling with boards that they actually form a critical consumer mass in airline economics - you should just put a bullet in surfing's head - surfing is not golf or snowboarding - more is not merrier.. John John can afford a hard case.
