telling people at parties they're garment merchants is probably a bit of a drag. even 'ceo' is boring. why don't they give themselves grander-sounding titles like 'conquering lion of the surfing tribes and ruler of the seas' or 'fearsome commander of a thousand perfect left barrels'?Code: Select all
Tripitaka as a title would evoke surf as mystical Buddhist experience thing, and make the corporation a lot more "aware" sounding and it would continue on Lucky Al's previous stream of consciousness. Pigsy or Sandy wouldn't really do it though.
I think they save that stuff up for evenings out at big surf contests with recently hired marketing assistants.Lucky Al wrote:telling people at parties they're garment merchants is probably a bit of a drag. even 'ceo' is boring. why don't they give themselves grander-sounding titles like 'conquering lion of the surfing tribes and ruler of the seas' or 'fearsome commander of a thousand perfect left barrels'?
I dunno I reckon there's a huge untapped market out there.

No need for specific gay targeting, when 3/4 of your marketing features near naked 25 year old men. We at the surf mags depend on it!
Come on party boy, let's hear a smart question, even Laz came up with one eventually.
ok, i could be very wrong here, and if so i stand correctedCRACKERS wrote:spook wrote:bloody hell there's a lot of negativity towards surf companies here.
i think you're all just jealous about not owning or working for one of em.
who cares how much money they make off a shirt? if you don't want to buy it, don't. nike and adidas don't have to field these ridiculous questions
without big surf companies, what type of boards and wetties do you thing we would be riding? fark, as far as i can tell, companies with money sponsoring talented surfers progresses the sport. the result is better equipment and the quest for better waves. feel free to disagree, but i can't imagine surfing being where it is today without bucks being put back into it
someone's moaning about the rip curl wct comp - well here's a newsflash, sponsored photo and video trips uncovered large areas of amazing waves that none of us knew about. yeah, so bag rip curl on the one hand then happily book you boat trip to the mentawais on the other
there's probably bucketloads wrong with surf companies, but what's wrong with that? are you upset because you think they should represent exactly what surfing means to you - and if they don't you can't rant about how evil they all are?
the beauty of surfing is that none of this bullshit counts for anything. go down to the beach, and whether it's 1 foot or 10 foot, if you're a kook, you're a kook. doesn't matter whether you're wearing $90 t-shirts and rocked up in a surf branded ute or not.
what makes you think nike and adidas dont have to field these sorts of questions? they went through the wringer over sweatshop labour a few years back?
what makes you think they uncovered large areas of waves that none of us knew about? just because they were never in the mags before doesnt mean no one knew about them.....just that they knew not to talk about them?
what makes you think i shouldnt complain to this big companies if i think their environmental record is some what lacking? should i sit back and say nothing because they are making good wet suits and borads?
explain these few points to me as i dont think i quite get what you mean with your little 'rant'.

You mean the Milky Wave, right? And Marsbah.Lucky Al wrote:jokes bro, what i really want to know is if the industry potentates are prepared for surf exploration and discovery in other sun systems and galaxies. what if a great wave is discovered off the shoulder of orion and we're not prepared to surf it? if our ggarment merchants don't draw up outer-space surf policies soon they could lose one potential customer for good (coops@dy)!
