Agreed...those alcoholics and coke addicts become so boring and bland when they quit.
I thought they mostly end up becoming chain smokers after their AA and NA classes, and write long sober-anniversary posts on their social media soapboxes that nobody truly gaf about but give them "likes" for support?

Come on...nearly every "like" is so the other person "likes" your post back. Not for support.

That Vans North Shore show isn't that bad, but it isn't very good or interesting. The paint fumes in there must be amazing. Also three different accents are a biiiit much on the sound retention in my brain. Feels like I'm on a 5 second delay when they are all talking to each other.

What was it before?
"A men's interest magazine with a focus on high performance surfing" was their motto, somewhat jokingly.

Good surf articles with good writing, good WCT coverage, funny interviews (actually funny, not like when STAB tries to be funny now), photoshoots with women showing off the goods, a bit of fashion, a little bit of advertorial.
