Beyond the pros and rippers are a bunch of arrogant industry tools in one place
look at the toolbox
look at the smirks of the industry bros
clown parade 101
industry reps are superficial narcissistic lemmings who enjoy masking themselves as “working surfers”, but are networked simpletons employed by companies that favor racism, drugs, dead young pros hiding autopsies, and disseminating messages of violence and ego to youth. sycophantic self- serving puppets that lead a meaningless journey of self-promotion
rock on, clowns…
tuskagee i cant agree more. all these has-almost-been-pro-surfers that become reps or team managers are quite the scum of the earth. But in saying that i guess the surf industry as a whole is a festering pile of horse shit. Everyone is in it for themselves, with their false sense of superiority and bullshit paycheck. The never ending charade of rich Laguna Beach bred fucking loser surf industry kooks will never end.
yes, the endless me, myself, and the company…
some items that the industry bros will be reviewing this week:
- talk about the conditions and how we “missed it”
- discuss how uncool some person is that is detached from their inner surf-jerk circle
- affirm themselves as “living the dream” in being able to work in an industry that supports “their lifestyle”
- consider themselves as “artists” or on the creative fringe, but are simply copying ideas of what has already been hashed out by the fashion industry the Fall before
insert the following quote below any of the images above
“bro, this is sick, i can’t believe how cool i am.”
…grown men acting as “the it” group.
so I take it you personally know these people? oh thats right…you have no fucking clue about half the people you talk shit about. Way to go stereotypes!!
aww josh kerr is so small…that’s cute
ah dave, lighten up. i got to you, but its no surprise that you are angry about your choices. just like the kid who didn’t shut up in math class, he’s “coordinating coolness” for “the bros” you sound like you realize people are beginning to call to question how and why people exist. time to man up.
the thirty-year old going on 12 years old window dressers have been called to question.
help me sir, where are the “cool hats” are …what’s the style # bros?
“the it look” and the “it talk”…. the bros that are connected to the grand puppet masters. networking in the industry to work yourself to arm chair captains called “directors”.
bro, i’m headed to super bank this weekend”…blah, blah, blah… driveling dolts.
a life so linear, you are afraid of what is outside of the “industry jerk circle”…comfort in numbers i suppose.
i just peeled back the “dream” oz backdrop to reveal an industrial Costa Mesa building teaming with vile rodents
