Stoked


The caption on this photo, over at the Chicago Tribune site, which I can't access anymore because of their stupid sign-in rules, is something like, "a surfer fails to ride a wave in heavy backwash." Which only proves there's no surf in Illinois. Because, excuse me, that isn't backwash, and you don't get that kind of air after failing to ride a wave. It looks to me like homeboy just got his board stuck trying to pull off a fancy aerial.

Some of my readers will want to know about the "urban surf culture store" in Berlin called Duckdiver.

Explain to me how a towel printed with a board is going to make you feel like you're out shooting a curl, or whatever it is you people do?
 
OK, the towels are for posers. And so are the rocking-chair boards. They would have a lot more street cred if they didn't cost 900 euros. But I like the bathmats.
