what do you guys think?

Don't do that. We have had numerous folks post their products here and it will get deleted quickly. If you want to advertise here you need approval from Micah like the other retailers who are posted at the top of the forum page. You cannot use SI for free advertising. You seem to have the drive to do this but you are ripping off peoples images and trying to use this site for free ad space. Set up your own site and come up with your own graphic ideas.

 

agreed....whoever makes the Belmar shirts first will be swimmin in women.

Just a side note:
I don't wear condoms, but when i do I wear Magnum's XXL.

 

You should create a shirt similar to, "you decide", except instead of the kid playing the game, have some dude bench pressing, then below it, have a guy riding a 23 footer. You might have to change the name to, "can't decide". HA HA HA HA

 

Once you get the paypal set up you can PM members here about selling them just don't post a link on the open forum. That is a great side project and I wish you luck my man. Oh and don't be giving old retired surfers BJ's just for showing up at your door, it makes ya look desperate. You gotta have em take you to dinner at least.

 

I love this idea!

 

That would be awesome, kind of like I blew Robert August and all I got was this T-Shirt?

 

Creepy cool! Xl grey $3.99?

 

Yeah I got nothing. Well played sir, well played.

"When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro."

As for THEM. Its ok to talk about The Hemp Enforcement Militia. They broke up a long time ago, early 90's I think.

 

How about a guy doing bench presses on a surfboard while shotting the pier on a 23ft'r?

Maybe a tag line of "Do you even shot bro?". Or sumthin...

 

I don't see a problem with a "regular poster" posting a link to the site when it's done. He did ask opinions and does take feedback well. "Hey guys site is done and shirts are up for sale. Here's the link: www......"

The ones that I don't like are the drive by guys that don't interact at all or the wannabe's like physix or whatever that was.

 

And then there was the one, Sunil Kumar, who planted the wonderful seed of raising banner awareness.


Alazander you get these shirts right and post up here and you may surpass the legacy left by Sunil Kumar.

 

Roy got one of his threads with a sales link deleted even after being here a year. The problem is that all these other companies pay to advertise here (look at the thread about the ads) and it is not fair to let one guy use the site for their own free ad space. You think Chevy would appreciate paying for their full page splash ad only to see that a member gets to post his link for free? All of the advertisers you see on here would pull their business and SI would have to go to a pay site.

He for sure surf better than me but since he is no longer a cometitive surfer earning a living from contests he is for all purposes retired from the actual professional surfing part even though he is still a shaper and surfs for fun.

 

No worries he was directing that towards me for saying RA was retired.

 

The 'wave' script is nice.

The hashtags are pointless and cheap, in my opinion.

'You Decide' is the best idea by far, but needs better execution. It looks like the surfer on shore is staring out at a giant video game playing kid on the horizon? Execute the concept better- maybe have the same guy playing a video game, but looking dreamily out of a snowy window, and on the other side of the window, the same guy running into snowy surf. With a fog of breath coming from his head. Footprints in the snow. Etc. etc....

Alternately, you could have a graphic of a surfer in a 5 mil at waters edge, looking at sick sets coming in from the outside. Behind him, in the foreground, is a porta-potty. There's a magnified bubble-close-up of his ass inside the 5-mil, with a loggerhead turtling out of his but. And it says "You Decide."
