To us Alex Knost has always been “that RVCA guy with a cool haircut” who is in that band that we’ve seen dozens of photos of, but never heard.”
We’ve seen him surf in Thomas Campbell’s film Sprout, but obviously we haven’t followed along properly. Now, after reading Joel Patterson’s profile (which we’re guessing is/was from an old (or never published) issue of Water Magazine on Surfline.com) we’re a little bummed that we haven’t paid Mr. Knost more attention. But that’s what good writing does. Right?
Alex looks like a beat poet. At 23, he is taller than average, and he sports a hipster haircut and a tan so true one suspects foul play. He smiles easily and contagiously, though his default facial expression seems to be that of someone listening with purpose to a conversation he’s eavesdropping on: head slightly cocked, eyes narrowed, focus shifting.
With lines like that, how can you not read the rest.
