Ruin Your Surfing for only $695.00
From the latest Surfer’s Journal…
Displacement
Words and Photos by Gothic Dolphins
Hull and stubby explorations fill the reels of Alex Kopp’s gay-for-trim film, Displacement. Now that we have the issue in our hands, we’re not sure what we were thinking. Is this an art-zine installation? A class project? A 16-page free advertisement for a surf movie? We’ll leave that up to you, dear readers. For what it’s worth, the filmmaker promises that, “[The film] covers all of these issues and more in exhaustive detail, finally explaining the Transitional Displacement Hull and the people who ride them in plain language for the average surfer.” He also notes that hulls are “here to ruin your surfing.”
5’11” Mandala tri-plane hull
20.5″ x 2.75″
coke-bottle green resin tint
wet-sanded gloss
only $695.00
Purchase with PayPal via the Surfy Surfy online store.
If you don’t like it Kopp’s offers a Hull return form ____

February 3, 2009It’s true. Hulls will ruin your surfing.
Just like reading in the dark will blind you.
Running with sharp objects will take your eye out.
But think how much fun it is to run after someone clutching a pair of scissors or being so engrossed in a book that you didn’t even realize it got dark and you’re holding the book 1″ from your burnt out eyes.
That’s JUST LIKE hull riding.

February 3, 2009so you are saying riding a hull is like chasing a guy down so’s you can cut the last page out of the book he’s reading, before he gets to it, in the dark? 😉

February 4, 2009I, like J-P, look forward to TSJ arriving. This month, most of it, as usual, was superb. The Hull article was crap, disjointed, pseudo-art. I gave up trying to ‘read’ the text about halfway through and found the glorification of low quality tagging inane.
Perhaps I did not ‘get it’, perhaps I would prefer to gather a better understanding of how hulls work.

February 4, 2009I’m not into artsy-fartsy writing but I found just grazing over the article/ad to be entertaining with a few cool photos to boot. NEver ridden a hull, but as bad as I’m surfing lately I think it can’t ruin me to badly.

February 4, 2009I did like how he only named 1 surfer in a photo caption. And the Chris Malloy bottom turn, color photo, was pretty amazing. Otherwise, classic Kopps.
