I agree with you about terrorism. What was he thinking when he made that comment?

That’s the point of a critic. To review a movie, doesn’t mean you need to have made movies yourself.

As for interviews, check back, I’ll be posting interviews soon.

Good call, especially on the sustainability. It would be good to get an answer from Kelly who clearly supports environmental initiatives yet goes through 20+ surfboards a year who manufacturing produces tons of C02 and toxic waste.

I agree, surf magazines seem to get more and more woeful with their interviews. Actually, with all of their content lately. Jobs for the boys, news for the boys.

If we relied on them to find out who was in jail, who was busted for drugs etc we’d never know any different about our surf stars.

Are you sure the above alternative questions would stand out for a man that’s been interviewed a millions times? Speculating on Andy might not cut it, but the future of surfing, and pro surfing, definitely would.

I’d like to hear more about how the surf industry fits in with sustainability. As surfers we rely on clean beaches and oceans to be able to surf. So how does this fit with a sport that continues to make surfboards out of toxic materials and flies hundreds of people around the globe for photo trips each year?
