Love some of those old clips.

I had just enough time to sneak down the coast between clients yesterday and scored an epic little solo session. Flat Tracker was the perfect weapon for the fast running rights (and a few lefts).

Really good, after about 12 months it was like brand new... Way better glass job than the Lizzy or the Fish... 2nd only to the Creative army that was glassed by Tak

Ok. My Tracker was shaped by Chris when he was in Oz a couple years ago. It was done for one of the shop guys at Onboard so I guess it could have been glassed light on request.

Technically not a Midlength but definitely middy style... So Graceful

How stoked would you be to share a party wave with Steph... And just love how she smokes that dude that drops in... So good

Horrible surfing with a board that looks bad under his feet

I like mr knost,but this is so bad and he fakes the coolness more than most of his clips

A hipster try hard classic clip

Yes Steph is all smiles in the line up and that guy she smoked in the hat is a pain in the arse rides an old mct always wears that hat.

Here's the whole Knost clip...




Plenty of negative comments floating around about that clip more or less echoing chrispy's. Personally I love that he's on his own trip and really enjoy seeing something different.

Worthwhile insight into the Brown Microwave Television mission, and the Long Commercial is definitely worth a watch by my reckoning too:

100% dude...

I love that Knost will surf anything and doesn't give sh1t what he looks like, just does what he loves unlike most of the narcissists in the lineup...

I would kill to be able to surf at even 10% of his level, dude rips.

And yeah, when haters hate it says more about themselves than what they are commenting on... even if they put a smiley face at the end...

Thx for the share...

P.S. You in Tas now?

How funny,as I said I like knost,and like most things he does.

But to hear the cool people call others haters is even funnier .

The bloke is more manufactured than a kit home and he is proud of it,his persona and brand is based upon it

Anyone that thinks this bronzer did any justice for his surfing is just caught in the hipster trap,but it's cool as well,because the ones that aren't are now called haters...very petty and amusing


Maybe I need to listen to more podcasts so I sound smarter

At least knost is original. Hes been doing that **** for 15 years now.
He didnt just buy an alternative board a year ago and become an overnight expert..

The latest movement to midlengths is a bigger circle jerk then the last hipster retro log resurgence.

Ahh, Chrispy the Troll climbs out from under his rock again to see who he can upset... fortunately for most of us we can just ignore it as it just looks sad now

Troll,get over yourself

I get called a troll and a hater because I didnt like a knost clip,now that is pathetic

I replied in a polite way and explained why I didn't like that particular clip

You and your mate cried then called me names and I'm the troll, geez how the righteous live in their bubbles

Look dude,you are a fraud and I know it, as I'm stuck with $200 worth of wax,so stay shhhhhh

It's funny as alex knost himself says he surfs like he has ADHD and forgotten to take his Ritalin medication personally I really like the way he surfs a logger but not so much shorter boards such as the bonzer clip, everyone has different tastes and should be allowed to express an opinion without being bashed for it.Id rather watch torren martyn,Harley ingleby Devon Howard etc riding a midlength than alex knost nothing personal other than the style I prefer to watch.As for riding a bonzer Taylor Knox wins hands down for me

Well said Ricardo each to their own we are all different and have every right to express.

My view on the Knost clip ,I totally agree with Chrispy a lot of try hard moves I found it ugly surfing for most part,sure surfs way better than me,he may well be the first hipster who started the movement thats fine,I agree with Ricardo he rides a log better and I'd rather watch the other guys mentioned.I did read that piece when Knost said he rides like he has ADHD and I found that cool he admitted to that and if Andy enjoyed that clip well thats great no problem at all.

Long live the midlength forum its had more hits than the longboard forum in months

If we all could agree to blame Vanders for everything the world would be a better place

Someones hacked mac again.

The proliferation of mid lenghts is a direct reaction to vanders the wave hog. There can be no doubt

Oh totally, not my fave clip but its something different... and I respect Al that he's unique cat and does thing his way regardless of the critique... I mean, do you follow him on Insta? I think if you get his Insta posts then your pretty "special"... or fckn stoned AF

In terms of surf style I prefer watching Devon or Torren's long smooth carves and classic lines... For me I don't enjoy surfing my short boards(nor do I have the ability), all that pumping and stuff.

Personally I am loving the ML movement, functional boards that help kooks like me catch a few more waves and even looking sh1t we're still looking better than we actually are... And I'm picking up a new one saturday to finish off the quiver... cant wait

As for opinions, people can and should like whatever they want and express whatever views they have, I'm just not into personal cracks... And maybe I shouldn't have retaliated... But hey that's just my opinion

I think I did follow him at one stage maybe he blocked me but he goes under another name I cant remember perhaps Vanders knows

That Knost clip was bloody ugly surfing and he looked of pretty average ability in it.

maybe it was a crap bonzer.

Mr Zappas on his 8 footer in Ulladulla slays this guy.

I think one of the interesting things about this current bit of thread is this...

I posted two clips consecutively.
One is clearly different and polarizing and most people aren't really into it, which is cool and I like the banter... but also it's got a lot of comments and stirred up plenty of negative feedback...

The other is a clip of a gorgeous woman with really smooth and beautiful surfing... gets one comment...

I have no issue with mid length boards and surfing ,I've seen some beautiful surfing on them I'm just jealous I cant ride one my mid length is a 9.8

You ride that length because you talk yourself into. You tell yourself how old you are. How unfit you are.
How injuried you are.

How you want to be like vanders with his big boards

Talk about negativity .
