Wow, what is surfline doing getting all uppity about journalistic integrity? It is not like they are the wall street journal or the new york times. I understand that advertisers pay the bills but if what you are saying is true Lewis, surfline should ask you back and give you a raise! postsurf.com!
Thank all there is someone that says SOMETHING in the surf media...which is a complete joke. The industry writers are WAY too bro bro with their subjects, and therefore say nothing, or gloss over with 'hand job' pieces.
Surfline is a joke anyways...they are not a meteorilogical site, but a vehicle for Sean Collins big mansion. They expose any spot at any cost, and nothing is sacred. Ruffle THEIR feathers once, and people get fired...good people. This is another reason Sean Collins is a donkey. Subscribe to Surfline, buy Sean a new car, and watch real journalists get cut.
Solid Interview. I must say, after this, I have lost respect for Surfline.com.
Good to see some industry hype outside of the OC. Boys Club queerness needs to be pushed out of the surf industry, good to see both Lewis and the radio show finally in the spotlight. Dig what you both do.
YEah man but Lewis is a a feral San Franciscan bred on the streets dude. Plus he is gong to train jiu - jit in Brazil and was spotted training with Tudor. Last I heard Surfline changed the location to the New Camera at Ponto becuase they do not want to up set the locals at Grandview!
Lewis Samuels is a little midget, anyone could kick his scrawny ass.
With that said, Surfline can suck my meaty cock.
Is it true that surfline is hosting a mma octogon grudge match live on their new Grandview web cam where Lewis Samuels and Sean Collins are going to go at it? I have hear that Sean out weighs Samuels by a bit, and has developed a reputation as a bit of a scraper, but Samuels is going to Brazil to train Jiu- Jitsu in Floripa before the scheduled fight. Does anyone know the exact dates?
That was good. Can't wait for more postsurf.com!
Thanks for speaking the truth Lewis. Refreshing to have some new voices calling things out for what they are instead of what sponsors tell writers to say.
FUCK SURFLINE, they should concentrate more on haveing a remotely accurate surf forecast than what the readers " demand ". VIVA SAMUELS !!
Uh, Derek Hynd, "a little bit of writing back in the day," what are you fellas talking about? Hynd is still untouched in his 80s-90s ASP critiques. Lewis isn't even remotely in Hynd's league as a writer or a scathing critic of professional surfing... And Hynd even managed to do it while being held accountable by Surfer's extremely sensitive publishing lasso, not an anything-goes blog. You guys should do some research. Hynd was tearing down idols when you were eating crayons.
