Check out the LOST Across America Vol.3 teaser below! and Coming Aug 2006..
THE DECLINE ...of surfing civilization . IN 1989 CHRISTIAN FLETHER WAS SEEN ON ALL THE COVERS BUSTING SIX FOOT AIRS. TWELVE YEARS LATER THE MAGAZINES HAVE REGRESSED TO PUTTING FABRICATED IDOLS ON THE COVER DOING NOTHING MORE THAN SIX INCH CHOP HOPS ALL BECAUSE OF SPONSOR ADVERTISING DOLLARS. IN THE MEANTIME, TAYLOR "ALMOST FAMOUS" STEELE AND HIS BAND OF HOLLYWOOD WANNABEES ARE BASKING IN THEIR SELF APPOINTED GLORY, PLAYING GOLF AND DREAMING UP MORE STAGED VIDEO SKITS STARRING NONE OTHER THAN THEMSELVES. SOMEHOW THEY BELIEVE WE ACTUALLY CARE. SURFING ISN'T ONLY ABOUT WORLD TOUR CONTEST OR GOING ON PHOTO TRIPS WITH A BUNCH OF GUYS WHO AREN'T EVEN YOUR FRIENDS. SO WHILE THE SO CALLED SURF INDUSTRY IS BUSY GLORIFYING THINGS ONLY THE PROS DO, WE'RE AT LEAST ATTEMPTING TO GET BACK TO THE REAL SURF CULTURE. IT'S ALL ABOUT HAVING A GOOD TIME WITH YOUR FRIENDS; SURFING AT HOME FROM 2' CHOP TO 10' CLOSEOUTS; GOING ON ROAD TRIPS, ENJOYING THE FREEDOM OF YOUTH AND EXTENDING THAT FREEDOM FOR AS MANY YEARS AS POSSIBLE... (WHILE THEY MASSES AREOUND US CHASE A PREPROGRAMMED HOMOGENIZED VERSION OF THE AMERICAN DREAM). HOW LONG WILL THE YOUTH STUMBLE BLINDLY, "STONED" BY A LONG SINCE ESTABLISHED "LIBERATION" MOVEMENT? WE WON'T FALL FOR THAT. NO MORE HAVING THE COVERS PULLED OVER OUR EYES. THE INDUSTRY MAY CALL THIS THE DECLINE, BUT WE'RE DOING JUST FINE
