BodhiI've been posting here for a while, but probably most of you guys that read this know nothing about me. I'm 25 years old, I like all kinds of cheese and the first surf film I ever watched was Point Break.<br /><br /><object style="text-align: center;" width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/d4-Fso2EZq8&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/d4-Fso2EZq8&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" style="text-align: center;" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />I know very well that is not meant to be just about surf. Of course it wasn't, it was a Hollywood movie with Keanu Reeves and Hollywood does not make surf movies.<br />However for me it was a movie about Bodhi, his surfing, his coolness, his layback tube ride when he is first being introduced to the film, his escape in maxing "Bells Beach".<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6P3MsyFfTfjUctBNqpsuLTbunyhnUy2JAbmdIk-Qpnl1GQRtMxNMx7U0j3Lp67C-HY44_NUkpJdoDMhc5bh6nrGO7W6wBSQ52XOxgBsMkUnXhdGkyEqdEB5HlbdW-2A1M2OcP/s1600-h/bodhi.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 269px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6P3MsyFfTfjUctBNqpsuLTbunyhnUy2JAbmdIk-Qpnl1GQRtMxNMx7U0j3Lp67C-HY44_NUkpJdoDMhc5bh6nrGO7W6wBSQ52XOxgBsMkUnXhdGkyEqdEB5HlbdW-2A1M2OcP/s400/bodhi.jpg" border="0" alt="bodhi layback tube"id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382018518080095586" /></a><br /><br />Damn, even writing those lines gives me goosebumps.

Well maybe I am just exaggerating, we all know that having onboard surfers that rip hard is kinda more important, however this is not the point of this post.<br />So yeah, digg that, Billabong released a <a href="http://www.billabong.com/au/blog-post/606/rasta-to-train-with-al-gore">press release</a> a few days ago, Dave "Rasta" Rastovich is meeting up with all passionate, anti climate change pioneer, ex vice US president Al Gore in order to be trained by, then discuss and promote policies to stop climate change.<br />Speaking of Rasta, here's a little update on him. He is not on tour, he rips as hard as ever, although I do not think he would agree with the term rip - rather surf forcefully but gently as you can see on the video below. <br /><br /><div style=" text-align: center;"><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/N60-nhHukI4&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/N60-nhHukI4&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></div> <br /><br />That was obviously crazy stylish. Rasta is also married to a <a href="http://www.hannahfraser.com/mermaid/">mermaid</a>, well human mermaid-model kind of thing. He is the founder of <a href="http://www.surfersforcetaceans.com/">surfers for cetaceans</a>- that's dolphins whales and sea turtles. Surfers for cetaceans released a video lately as well "El Mar, Mi Alma".<br />Not your typical surf video. <br /><br /><div style=" text-align: center;"><object width="480" height="315" id="mporaplayer_xyPFDIQFF" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"><param name="movie" value="http://video.mpora.com/ep/xyPFDIQFF/"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://video.mpora.com/ep/xyPFDIQFF/" width="480" height="315" wmode="transparent" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed></object></div> <br /><br />Rasta is obviously having the time of his life doing all that. Although critics would say that flying around the globe every time a swell pops up does not really help the environment, I think it would be fair to give Rasta a pass and not hate, because he is obviously a person deeply concerned with the future of the planet. <br /><br />Coming back to Billabong they are obviously pushing an enviromentalist profile. Of course they are not alone on that, yesterday I stumbled upon this Reef Brazil <a href="http://www.reefredemption.com/">Redemption series</a>. Anyway, back to Billabong now. The Rasta story, <a href="http://www.designforhumanity.com">Design for Humanity</a>, they are all initiatives for a good cause. (Design for Humanity profits go to <a href="http://www.charitywater.org/">Water Charity</a>.)<br />I am not dismissing this kind of initiatives as irrelevant and of course anything that helps and pushes things towards a more sustainable direction needs to be applaused.<br /><br />However I seem to be missing something as strangely enough, looking at those initiatives I still can only think of waves. And cetaceans. And if you think that by cetaceans I mean the stunning blonde pictured below, well, you guessed right.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7fiIKOdSFvUe2-vPget4DZiVOZXaqkk-28XFEmwzbGhZfC6WDEKQbNTmQoNZX15klVXtkmAdZ9faVHivFOvq2JtnEHA8J133jyawneVL9_9p162NobXfaLw_WwWfiIUccVPsN/s1600-h/designforhumanity5.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 336px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7fiIKOdSFvUe2-vPget4DZiVOZXaqkk-28XFEmwzbGhZfC6WDEKQbNTmQoNZX15klVXtkmAdZ9faVHivFOvq2JtnEHA8J133jyawneVL9_9p162NobXfaLw_WwWfiIUccVPsN/s400/designforhumanity5.jpg" border="0" alt="eco friendly model"id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355675509367442274" /></a><br /></div>Karamitshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06552222952376570293noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21398525.post-48820799425185972292009-07-24T14:16:00.008+01:002009-07-24T14:52:31.755+01:00The Cake to end all Cakes.<p align="justify">Breaking news!

I've been meaning to write something about that ever since and know its not very recent but you know what? It's a timeless gem that will be worth writing about until the day that snow turns purple.<br />Here's some hilarious quotes from the <a href="http://www.themustachio.com/eastside.php?item_id=3043">Hater's Guide</a>.<br /><blockquote>"You might think haterism has been a part of snowboarding since the coming of the online communities but this side activity saw the light 2 decades ago. Remember the resorts banning all snowboarders? That was one of the first noticed hater actions. With other words, if you are a hater you are nothing better than the hater skiers from back in the day. But you don't give a donkeyshit because you didn't start snowboarding to make friends. Otherwise you would have joined the scouts.</blockquote><blockquote>First of all you need internet, which is pretty obvious because the hater part of snowboarding takes place on the world wide web, unless you're a real douche. To get started it's better to train yourself on the internet. When you've booked online success you can try it in real life."<br /></blockquote><blockquote>"- It's easier to use different usernames. You can make your comments look better and hotter by giving props on your own comments with another username.<br /><br />- You are better and prettier. When you know you're not, better tell them you know people who are. A friend, uncle, aunt, grandpa or whatever.<br /><br />- When the action is too good to hate on start hating on details. Music, edit, clothing or other comments for instance. (see the holy inspiration list)<br /><br />- Never be sorry. You will loose kudo's. Saying that you are sorry can kill you. Never use the sorry word, NEVER!"</blockquote><blockquote>"Clothing<br />- How are they dressed up?<br />- Do you like hippies, gangsters, mainstreamsters, gipsies or maybe even emo-thugs?<br />- Are they over-dressed for the tricks they pop?<br /><br />Style & Tricks<br />- Do you like their style?<br />- Is their stance too narrow or too wide?<br />- Can you do it better or do you have a friend/relative who can do better?<br /><br />Fun<br />- Are they having too much fun and does it affect their riding?<br />- Are they having fun or is it too serious?<br />Fun?"</blockquote><br /><br />Read the whole article <a href="http://www.themustachio.com/eastside.php?item_id=3043">here</a>.<br />Via <a href="http://www.themustachio.com">the Mustachio</a>.Karamitshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06552222952376570293noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21398525.post-61212339070339180472009-06-30T18:13:00.008+01:002009-06-30T18:49:01.264+01:00Was Farrah Fawcett the inventor of kickflip?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvfSLc5QxF-k25KXoqvocmdqza0-xBRCMAHDn8Xuw3UWsIVD-3i56iA94lmy4wpHKXIFYGBcdw06XmMF0HfLZ4uZ1R3BHC7v2pxAjOavYGmOyhFx-qiFywWAg3K-n7GrdR01ZU/s1600-h/farrah-fawcett.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 322px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvfSLc5QxF-k25KXoqvocmdqza0-xBRCMAHDn8Xuw3UWsIVD-3i56iA94lmy4wpHKXIFYGBcdw06XmMF0HfLZ4uZ1R3BHC7v2pxAjOavYGmOyhFx-qiFywWAg3K-n7GrdR01ZU/s400/farrah-fawcett.jpg" border="0" alt="Farah Fawcett Skateboard" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353173356508479474" /></a><br />Rodney Mullen if you are reading this, we know that you invented the kickflip so please, shut up for a moment. <br />So yeah, that's right, kaos blog has transformed into an endless obituary for dead celebrities who had some kind of connection with skateboarding.<br />The guys at Barcelona's <a href="http://www.unopopmag.com">Unopopmag</a> run this the other day, so nothing original here but Jesus!

Enough with being polite though.<br />Speaking for myself I will remember him as a very special man. <br />And by special man, I mean black gone white/sleeping in an oxygen tent/children lovin'/ hip swingin/neverland ownin/ creepy/ crazy talented/sad and weird dude. He also had some good tracks. And by good I mean friggin amazing. Of course all those things contributed into making him an icon, the king of pop. Don't worry this is not an obituary, you're having plenty of those in the press right now.<br />Without any further ado, allow me to remind you of this legendary Skate Mental's skateboard picturing <span style="font-style:italic;">Micheal Jackson</span> and E.T. and reading Alien vs Predator.

Some of us here at KAOS attended the mid-year show and were totally inspired by the talent of this lot and suggest anyone who can, comes along and checks it out.

Or at least how I see it. I have access to pretty much the same data you do, except I actually waste my time looking at every bit of it.<br />I answer: He's that dude that got hired by surfline; or even better convinced Surfline to offer him a salary in exchange for his ASP world tour surfer power rankings. He later on got fired because his writing was too critical of Surfline's policies of content moderation (a.k.a. they would not allow him to talk shit about surfers that were sponsored by Surfline's advertisers).<br />After getting fired he went on and started posting his "unfiltered thoughts on surf culture" on his blog, <a href="http://postsurf.com/">postsurf.com</a>.<br />Simply put he is the Perez Hilton of the surfing world. Well no, he's even more than that. Imagine a Jewish, surfer, Da-Hui hated and pursuied writer and you've got the picture.<br />His voice offers a new perspective to the corporate, Hawaii ruled world of modern surfing- and its absolutely hilarious.<br />Please, do yourselves a favour and check <a href="http://postsurf.com/">postsurf.com</a>.<br />Or if you are not yet convinced, here is what he has to say about Joel Parkinson following his two wins and early exit at BillabongPro Tahiti.<br /><blockquote>"Joel Parkinson can find solace in recent history. Like Joel, Slater started last year with two wins, only to fall early at Chopes. Fortunately for Slater, all the other contenders fell early, too. Same story this year, as Parko’s real rivals (Mick, CJ, and Kelly) dropped the ball. Instead, two more toothless quasi-contenders emerged from the shadows – Taj Burrow and Bobby Martinez. Only trouble is, Parko is not Kelly Slater. So there’s no guarantee he’ll win the next one. Preserving a big lead is mostly a mental game. The rest of Parko’s year might play out like a teenager on mushrooms taking a phone call from their grandparents. The internal monologue running like this: “Don’t freak out man, don’t freak out. Just act normal, do what you’d usually do… wait, what do I usually do? What does being normal even mean?? Why am I talking to myself? Am I saying this out loud? Am I licking the phone? Why am I licking the phone? Are my pants wet? Did I pee on myself? I can’t tell if they’re wet or not. OH SHIT! I forgot how to breathe, I forgot how to BREATHE!"</blockquote>Karamitshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06552222952376570293noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21398525.post-21915539891945662122009-05-11T15:53:00.000+01:002009-05-11T15:54:41.821+01:00Siiiick Surf Footage (with mega bucks camera)<object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/7BOhDaJH0m4&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/7BOhDaJH0m4&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21398525.post-71650226946351838352009-04-28T19:39:00.003+01:002009-04-28T19:45:29.765+01:00This is brilliant.
