A to X


Generation A - X, Douglas Coupland
The Generation gap

In 1991 Douglas Coupland wrote Generation X and captured the zeitgeist perfectly, and now 18 years later he delivers Generation A.

As well as looking forward to having a good read, it's interesting comparing the two covers designed almost two decades apart.

K IS FOR...


Kapital K
Killer!

Went for a run this evening - it nearly killed me.

ps: note to self - don't run with mouth open. I inhaled a small cloud of midges and that nearly killed me too!

RHCB


Mick Fanning roundhouse cutback
Now that's what I call a Roundhouse Cutback

Sequence of Mick Fanning clearly demonstrating a full-bore frontside roundhouse cutback, I reckon Curren probably does 'em with even more style, but this birds-eye-view shows that Fanning certainly knows how to bleed some speed.

TRIG POINTS


triangulate in the surf
Get your line ups sorted...

As the September swells start to roll through and Autumn brings more motion to the ocean remember to triangulate out there.

SURF MUSIC


The Surfers-On the rocks
Never heard of 'em, but I think I'd like this album

Old record covers are great - there's a wealth of visual gold out there. 1950s group The Surfers got nicely co-ordinated for this one above.

There was also another band in 1998 calling themselves The Surfers, (below) the guys in this combo were also quite good at actually surfing (Slater, Machado, PK...)

The Surfers-Music from the Pipe



This one looks interesting...
