Never seen this one, but have a VHS copy of ‘Drifting’ the first Rob M. movie. That shit blew my mind at the time. Don’t know anybody with a VHS anymore though.

Bought the drifer on itunes for $9.99. Was worth every penny. I like watching surf vid’s that have lifestyles, cultures, documentary styl-ish. Watching a surf vid where its the same wave, same maneuvers, punk music, over and over and over and over, is not my cup of tea. But who cares.

MnM- not sure yet. Thinkin of startin at swamis and surfin the coast all the way back up into WA and only have 9 days to do it. Not so sure now though, been hearin rumors of an “el nino” february down there with wind, rain, and hail storms. After talkin with a shaper down there, i guess its been some nasty conditions down there.

Hey Sam O.
About your question—-would I accept an offer for money for ‘aerialism’.
Or any level of surfing ability.

Actually.
Already went that route a while back.
Another sport.
Same damn trade shows.
Kitesurfing.
It was horrible to see the shallow depth of the ocean sport industry.
Left a bad taste in my mouth.
I was a sales and marketing director in the surf industry.
Got out to move back home to Oregon.

Life is better when you surf.
And better when you don”t mix surfing with your profession.
It’s a contradiction.
To me.

I would rather catch fish in the ocean and get paid to do so.
Catching waves—- and proving it is worth someones time to ‘idolize me’ for doing so—is not really that fulfilling.
And not humbling.
As I believe surfing should be.
To me.

But my opinion means nothing.
Just typing a thought.

Yeah – the Pata-gucci story was good.

Must be making some money off nature to buy those beasts. Warm, yes…cheap, no

I’d be whining if I lost that too.
