Surf casting and stuff like that..

Postby fred surfer » Wed Mar 20, 2013 1:55 pm

Hey there,
What do you think about surf project like this on of Quiksilver and Jeep: Jeep Onboard?
http://www.jeep-people.com/en/challenges/jeep-on-board/adventure-and-freedom-on-the-waves-with-jeep-onboard/

Have you heard about it? Do you know similar project?

Stay cool

I'm sorry Fred, this rates in my cynical mind as nothing more than a full blown advertising campaign to make jeep 4x4s a cool toy to sell to cashed up younger generation.
The same sort of advertising that used to link cigarettes to being cool.
It must be said that jeeps are less harmful to your health
There so many attempts to hook product to surfing particularly in Europe and Brazil as they are seen as new frontiers for the surf market.

Surfers historically have got themselves to the surf on anything they could piece together and were only concerned with surfing, it is only advertising that has picked up the carefree image and made it marketable.
No sticker or brand doth a surfer make

I search the web for something more interesting that permit me to surf for free but can't find anything.. maybe some couchsurfing in the Canary island :D

IT 's fine Fred to sign in , my criticism is of the advertising nothing more.
If you win a surf with top surfer somewhere in Europe or even better a jeep that would be great. Hope you do win :!: :!: :!: :D
I'll have to have a look at Justine Mouvin, unknown to me in Australia :lol: :lol:

Just looked. Nice
