Thanks for capturing this and most surf related stuff.
Blochs work in general gives me that feeling of discovery, a long trek to a mysto spot, off in the distance you see the cloudbreak you know it’s going off and no ones out and it’s just a matter of time until you get there. Love his work.
If you guys like this work in the slightest, you’ve got to check out Mark Rothko’s color field work. Pictures of it are fine, but go see one in a museum if you can. They always put a bench in front of his work so you can sit and loose yourself in them. I think surfers would relate because we stare at 2 flat planes of color so much: sky and water.
A three six zero preformed on nothing more than a belly button. (How's the commentary brah!?!) Here's an erBB thread with more video from this contest at Sandy's Beach in Hawaii. -comment-
Ryan Heywood releases Bodysurf v3. Spot-Fucking-On and not a logo to be found. Makes me want to go get some with just my skin on. -comment-
Remember the press release, email and social media campaign quk put out when Julian Wilson pulled that sushi rollshit? O'niel and redbull have a clone of that machine rolling for Jordy's rodeo flip. Here's the video on Yahoo sports. -comment-
Reminds me of byrne, the heads, arcade fire... etc. You can get their album for a buck through July 4th. -comment-
Why couldn't these guys take the Cardiff reef sup crew with them? We could have all chipped in to make it possible. -comment-
The End Of The Road. Why we'll have no seafood left in 50 years. I ate my entire seafood quota for the year the other week in North Carolina.

I usually despise all surf art but Wolfgang Bloch’s art makes me weep like a little girl.

Such amazing stuff.
Love the depth and vastness of his art. Even though his waves are super small way off in the horizon you can still tell that it is pumpin’.

Totally agree. I don´t usually like so much surf art but this is really superb.
Thanks Rob.
