Is Roy a hipster?
“For surfers, cool is increasingly defined by purchases instead of performance. That’s because some of today’s trendy surfboards are literally designed to hinder performance. If you cared about how well you surfed, you wouldn’t be riding an alaia or using a handplane.” —Lewis Samuels

I am still not 100% clear on what a hipster is...and whether that is a hipster comment.
However as an analogy for Lewis Samuels let me say that eating steak all the time is great- but only to a a point, a varied diet is more interesting and better for you.... surfing and watersports are the same- mix it up dont be afraid to sart again on something new.

someones just got himself a SUP.
ha!
but no.
the SUP gig is just not 20's bag baby... it's the oar
you see... what are you meant to do with it once you finally paddle the beast onto a wave.... why not just row a dinghy onto a wave...

Different craft for different waves

crabbing.
More boards the better
I surf a 9,1 in gutless waist to shoulder high also sometimes in bigger overhead point breaks just to get back to feeling out that perfect trim line.
6'4 in smallish waist high, but also overhead points. Fun challenge putting the grovel under its maximum angles and pressure through turns. margine of error is rather tight.
Step up is prob the least versitile,

Roy doesn't ride alaias or use hand planes, and he agrees with the quote from Lewis Samuels.

So why do you use your boards then?
You are the original hipster.

Far be it for me to throw the first hipster stone, but if I'm not mistaken Jabes was awarded the 2012 Hipster award.
Going to a job interview barefoot does seem to be a calculated action designed to set u apart from the shoe wearing masses as a rugged individualist and hints at an overawareness of ur own image....but what do I know

For the vast majority of the time during which I've been making boards my designs have not been trendy, in fact they have been shunned.
I note however that they have now become hip according to yourself and jabes... that is great news indeed.

Bare footedness does not imply over awareness of one's own image, it implies merely that one is not wearing shoes.

Hence why you are a hipster. You embrace the unconventional. I was recently in Hipster central and you would have been a god to them Roy. A god.
depends where u are barefoot roy.
Leave Roy alone. Whatever he is shouldn't be up for public discussion. Its threads like these that will lead to Roy building his very own handcrafted, gold embossed gallows. Jabes i'm surprised by such Jewish behaviour. I was under the impression you were new testament. Give yourself 7 Hail Mary's

I embrace that which works for me, whether it is unconventional or not. A consequence of seeking a design and performance advantage and gaining it is however unconventional equipment, that is inevitable. it's the advantage itself which I'm after though, not the appearance.
Hipsters embrace small mass market fashion trends thinking that it will make them appear to be individuals ... even if performance suffers.

Roy is both younger and older than you think, and his original hips are fine.

1. jandals, sandals and crocs look stupid in some/most situations.
2. Not everyone is a casual bum.
3. feet are disgusting
4. no one wants to see your farkin feet.
5. It is a fine line between a down with the 511 hipster and a hobo.
6. U cannot really get in anywhere for a beer
7. Stinkin hot black sand and melting ashphalt in summer
8. Chewing gum
9.Glass ripping open foot = no surf for a week.
10. junkie needles= no surf
High price to pay for fashion Jabes
I take it u were cruising round the back lanes of Kuta barefoot?
At least they are washed every day unlike your farking stinky shoes.

ooooh a style statement

Beer is gross.
7. Stinkin hot black sand and melting asphalt in summer
Warm asphalt on a sunny winter's morning.
you wear shoes on the beach?
8. Chewing gum
You can't chew gum and walk at the same time?
9.Glass ripping open foot = no surf for a week.
Look where you are walking instead of treating your legs like a golf cart.
10. junkie needles= no surf
I've never seen one, is this related to getting 'in for a beer' ?
High price to pay for fashion Jabes
Bare feet are not something one buys.

@Roy_Stuart_NZ www.roystuart.biz
I wear shoes on the beach yeah, I don't follow societies guidlines, if I happen to be wearing shoes as I head to the beach, they stay on. so what. brainwashed fools. only watermen and freethinkers do it.
Tell u what Roy, if you can do 15 minutes walking slowly on west coast black sand at 2pm on a scorching summers day without burning your feet I will be most impressed.
The beer is gross statement is just plain madness and cannot be argued.
Pena I see no need to do it slowly.

It is gross. It dissolves the brain and then it gets p1ssed out with the urine.... Later it makes people ride mals with big guts hanging out over their chicken legs and their buns sticking out because the gut has made them sway backed.
