Surf Posters?

[bigglesworth]

Thinking about getting a classic surf poster or just a poster of a wave for my office. Generally I work in the office alone but people occasionally walk through to access another part of the building (so, something tasteful i.e. no reef girls)

Just something to keep the stoke alive while I grind away!

Appreciate the recs

Ebay, find some 80s mags. Every issue came with a fold out poster of some guy on a dream wave.

Classic surf posters are great. Keep your eyes out. You never know what you may find. You might also be able to commission a local artist to do an original piece.

My favorite surf poster of all time was on my wall all through High School and College. A fisheye view of James Chappy Jennings at Pipeline. Still one of my all time favorite surf photos. The only version of the photo I could find at the moment is this butchered and heavily cropped version.

I still remember the Curren Cutty poster on the wall of my Middle School computer class.

Lots of ex industry duu’s used to post stuff up like this on Craigslist, their whole garages looking like an ex storage container of stuff like this.

last time I went with a buddy scoring stuff like this was over 10yrs ago, however.

few years back i went through my old stack of TSJ mags and cut and framed a dozen of my favorite shots and hung those up around the office

had fun doing it and still loving the end result

How about a signed jersey in a frame?

Yeah, it’s collectible now and hard to find. When I scored most of my stuff it was considered trash! Keep your eyes out though! I find surf memorabilia in some weird places, there are still deals to be had.

just a poster of a wave for my office.

That's just sad.

That's just sad.

With what do you adorn the walls of the dungeon where you work?

 

[Northern_Shores]

I keep it simple.

I went to a big house where my friends girl friend was a nanny.

In the bar was a jersey in a frame and a baseball bat and some other stuff.

I was like, "What a retard this rich guy is!"

We drank his expensive booze and then GTFO'd before he got home.

Greg Noll, standing on the beach at Pipeline in his black and white trunks .... << ----- THIS!!
Timeless photo and a story to go with it...


I'm from that era and watched Butch VanArtsdalen with Diffenderfer, Hynson, Weber, Bruce Brown, Paul Allen & Phil Edwards as we stood on the beach yelling our ass's off as Butch got the wave in the Endless Summer coming out of the tube and looked towards the beach sitting on his board with his feet on the nose, rubbing his hands together and smiling at us.
