This is where compulsory national service is needed to instil the values of discipline, responsibility, humility, teamwork and service in the young people of today. Values they are not getting from home or from their devices.

Re: Just general surfing stuff

I hang out with a longboard influencer who never won a title and has a much bigger name. I'd never heard of Kelia. Apparently she has won 2 world championships but my first thought was 'wonder if she's related to the guy who broke his neck in Portugal?' So if someone who hasn't even made the top co...

Re: Just general surfing stuff

I didn’t think so. She has to talk to her people in social media land and nobody likes a big pay cut.

Re: Just general surfing stuff

Kelia is a special case. She has 728 thousand follows on instagram. She gets a lot of additional exposure thru Justin Bieber’s wife being her best friend. She is beautiful and articulate. Very marketable. I can see her getting some new brand relationships.

Re: Just general surfing stuff

Kelia Moniz leaves Roxy after 17 years. Starts with a message of gratitude for the great years. In the final bit she answers, why did you leave Roxy, and she makes that very clear,

Re: Just general surfing stuff

Nick has written elsewhere about his interest in what’s happening in classic east coast surf towns in this time of big post-pandemic social change along the coast. Crescent is right in the centre of that.

Re: Just general surfing stuff

The Chernin Group has a pretty sweet portfolio. Lacrosse, surfing, anime, cycling, gardening, cooking, Reece Witherspoon’s production company devoted to telling women’s stories, etc
I wish I had a job there.

The Chernin group taking over Surfline has been discussed more than once before on realsurf. Only last year Thud went all attack job on Nick about it.

I started getting a big response to them and had the opportunity to make them for myself. Mainly I'm into pintail flyers, generally double flyers, but I'll sha...

Re: Just general surfing stuff

You are probably right. The modern surfer wants somewhere safe and cruisy, where you rarely have to duck dive.

Re: Just general surfing stuff

I like Crescent. But I reckon the surfcam would rarely inspire anybody to take a long drive there for the waves.
