Anyone else bothered that brands like Vineyard Vines and Hollister and stuff like that are trying to pretend they're surf companies? I know this isn't all that new...but it's getting worse, and it's making me sick.. seems like all the advertisements have really "cliche" surf culture as a main theme.
dumb thread .. you are an idiot . Vineyard vines was started by two guys who rejected the corporate culture , but now they have become successful they cant use surfing to promote their product , sorry your poor
I can't stand people that walk around with hollister shirts that say stuff like surf comp and they don't surf and they don't know anything about surfing.
the word poser usually is found coming out of the mouths of people who are more worried about how cool an activity is than actually just enjoying it
i mean if all the posers wear hollister... how will you distinguish yourself as one of the really real and for true chosen one surfer?
Hollister is FUN. I love talking to people in Hollister Surf Team gear and make them very uncomfortable with such questions as 'What kind of Board to you ride? Does your 'team' compete in ESA comps? What's your favorite wax? etc etc. the reactions they give are so funny especially the ones who try to lie their way through the conversation.
Agreed too much other crap!! Support LOCAL!!!!! CAROLUS APPAREL!!! We just released out new 2012 summer line, and the tees are flying off the shelves! We are a local company based out of NC and ship anywhere! http://store.carolusapparel.com/ Go here to check out our line, we also have hats, koozies, and whats a surf brand with out Stickers! haha Thanks much and give us a look.
To me, a SURF COMPANY actually makes products USED while surfing. Do you use a pair of jeans and a hoodie while surfing? exactly. I gave up on surf shop clothing, it;s way over priced. I get free shirts to wear to work and all of my tee's come from travel and bars. To me, the guy all decked out in head to toe RVCA who goes surfing twice a year and doesn't even own a skate board is way bigger poser than if I were to go buy a hollister tee (which I would not...)
