Kolohe Andino Hates Surfing
A fine piece off marketing theatre two months back when the former world title contender Kolohe Andino stunned surf fans with a profanity laden screed on Instagram.
“Surfing culture, big time surf brands and the ‘surf lifestyle’ are FUCKING dead,” wrote the thirty-year-old Daddy of two. “You got every FUCKING up and coming kid thinking they are one of the Paul brothers. Trying to gain cloud in any way, shape or form, with no gumption, no backbone, or no idea. These kids are not leaders, they are followers.”
It was a pointer to his and his San Clemente pals’ clothing venture 2 Percent, which offers hats, hoodies, jackets etc designed in a nineties homegrown style.

    Surf brands have whored themselves out and sell at Ross and TJ Maxx. They aren't cool. That's exactly why everyone wants to start their own clothing company. It's a joke. Surfing was seen as cool in the aughts but surfing isn't cool anymore and there is no money in it now and never will be. If you want to get sponsored you have to be on the CT winning events. And TBH I don't know how the WSL can survive. Surfers are basically funding themsleves.

    Surfing is better without a surfing industry. The people who are upset about the industry dying are upset because that industry supported the notion that surfing is inherently cool and feeds the egos of those who do it (and the pocket books of a very lucky few). If your truly love surfing you’ll do it regardless of industry or image. Personally I hope the image of surfing gets less cool and less people take it up.

Dane Reynolds and Former are much more authentic to me..

After a few years of struggling, he realizes how hard it is to make money in the surf clothing game, unless you have very solid financial backing. Enter cashed up investor, arguments ensue between creatives/founder and investor when sales targets fall short, brand struggles- eventually folds. Former Pro sneaks back to his safe place.
