A Surfer’s Inspiration

Part 1 soundtrack (gets really good around the 1 minute mark)

Part 2 soundtrack

A mesmerizing compilation of various surfing videos and surf-culture significant movie and tv clips for today, the longest day of the year.

Due to corporate jackassery, YouTube has disabled the audio track, most likely because it contained some unlicensed surfy music from the 50s or 60s and some zombie record corporation complained. The ironic part is that the record label owns the rights to the music and the musicians who made the music most likely sold their rights for a good roast beef sandwich and now don’t receive a dime when someone officially licenses their songs.

So in response, I’ve put together my own soundtrack for this video. As you watch both parts just open the track in a new window in your browser, press play and switch back to the video. Don’t download the track cuz that’s stealing from rich, mafioso corporate douchenozzles that will sue yer ass for 2 million dollars and they’ll win and you’ll have to pay $80,000 per song, cuz you know, “it’s not about the amount, it’s about sending a message” ¹.

Above videos politely borrowed from Fin Foils + Crafts, an atrophying, dusty surf blog. I happend on to FF+C from one of my new favorite blogs Surf a Pig, following the link to FF+C’s post on The Other Women, a pignar board that is so sick I’m immediately going to my shaper to ask him to hook something similar. I love the pinched rail that goes all the way to the tail and the ‘D’ fin is stellar.
