Blogger and former Surfline Power RankerLewis Samuels appears to be throwing in the towel on what he called The Post Surf Project. In a post titled Epilouge he broke it down like this.
I am not Lewis Samuels. . . That ended long ago, amidst the pixels and fuckery, clammy clickthroughs, custard pudding bastards, vitriolic comments, tags, tapioca fuckwits and strewn code. A writer does not write the truth about themselves. They leverage words to obscure things. They write the truth about other people, and leave themselves out of it. . . The surf industry is not surfing. My brief forays into the dark, sickly heart of the matter have reminded me of that. Over the course of the last nine months on PostSurf, I’ve simply tried to remind others of this fact. The PostSurf story has proven my point.
We’re not really sure what any of this means exactly, and were not sure that we’re going to miss it, as great as it sometimes was. We’re guessing there is a little more to this story. If you know it, let us know.
Unless you really have time to focus on them, Twitter interviews are a pain in the ass to follow.
Since we are actually interested in what Rome’s John Cavan has to say (and he is still saying it as we type) we decided to compile the entire Twitter stream in chronological order. That means we’ve made it really easy to read the whole chat from the beginning to the end.
Delia Bautista-Cruz, 31, of Navoto, California pleaded guilty to hit-and-run yesterday after hitting a 14-year-old skater and then driving away.
The collision occurred on June 29 on Ignacio Boulevard, where a tan Ford Explorer clipped a 14-year-old boy who was skateboarding with friends across the four-lane road. The Explorer was traveling an estimated 25 to 30 miles an hour, and the boy fell to the ground. . . The victim’s friends heard the driver say “Oh my God” before driving off, authorities said. . . The injured skateboarder was treated at Marin General Hospital for cuts to his face and scrapes to his arms and legs. The boy received several stitches to his face and has permanent scarring, the district attorney’s office said.
Cruz, who had no license and is on “a no-bail federal immigration hold” which means she may be deported after she serves her time.
Yep, we’ll probably have to go to this one as well. . . The Brixton/ Crossroads After Party at Matt Hensley’s Flying Elephant Pub at I-5 and Tamarack in Carlsbad.
Quiksilverreported their third quarter financials this afternoon and while things weren’t all rosey they were inline with what the street was expecting according to The Wall Street Journal.
For the quarter ended July 31, the Huntington Beach, Calif., company reported a profit of $1.3 million, or one cent a share, down from $2.9 million, or two cents a share, a year earlier. Per-share earnings from continuing operations fell to three cents from 25 cents. . . Revenue decreased 11% to $501.4 million, while gross margin fell to 46.7% from 50.4%. . . . Revenue in the company’s Americas segment fell 6%, while European sales dropped 8%, on a constant currency basis. Sales in the Asian/Pacific segment rose 12% on a constant-currency basis.
The Dingo doesn’t look well in this one. . .here are more photos from the post Agenda/US Open sailing mission from Party With Panda. We saw the boat sail by the US Open, but never caught the photos. . .now we have.
West Coast brands can get as big as they want, but they still don’t count until they make it there. That’s probably why Nixon is so excited about this Bloomingdale’s deal sponsored by Marvin Jarrett’sNylon.
NYLON presents the launch of Nixon at Bloomingdales during New York Fashion Week 2009. Tuesday, September 15, 6-8pm Hosted by NYLON style director, Dani Stahl; DJ; Gift-With-Purchase* RSVP by Monday, September 14 to nixon@nylongmag.com
