Surf Art?

Sure, its no painted asymmetrical surfboard or some weird collage put together and nailed to a piece of driftwood found while cruising through Mexico. But, they sure do evoke feeling and thought.
And that is something missing from the surf/skate media, who cram the idea that anyone who hangs heels and keeps a journal has a point of view worth exploring in print or on the web. While images like these go unnoticed and Dane Reynolds every fart is chronicled and explained as a uniquely post-modern approach to the commercialization of surfing. FUCK.
