All the people who disliked this are probably short boarders who don’t understand style and the they just attack the wave with no style, also 9/10 for this film awesome stuff man
Always have loved, or at least appreciated Knost's work. From running a conceptual art center (Costa Mesa Conceptual Art Center) with awesome content and welcoming community, to his own style of stretched out music. It's annoying being a surfer and true experimental artist if you don't fit into the goofball surfer art world of wave photography and wave paintings and always being judged by the surf world for not fitting in enough, and always being judged by the art world for being a surfer. Glad things keep working out for him and his recognition as an artist. especially excited about his new band Glitterburst wth Kim Gordon from Sonic Youth and more recently Body/Head.
I don't really know why Gordon would bother hanging out with another guitarist wanting to stick things under the strings of a Jaguar and make esoteric washed out noises. Been there done that kinda thing! If Mr. Knost can make a living doing his art and surfing then good luck to him though! For mine, the whole vibe was a bit dark and felt a little contrived, but then somewhere around 16:40 he fades the bowl on that right-hander and manages not to get lipped in the scone and you have to say: well surfed.
Watched this with my wife. She didn't know who Alex was. Half way through the film she asked "Is he fucking Hoodini?" Then I watched her head explode another dozen times.
Excellent filming and a really intense and interesting soundtrack.. Sounds like the Velvet Underground demo outtakes.. or system7 Are they on Spotify or somewhere else on the web or in vinyl? Please let me know . Mauro❤️🛹
You would think his flailing arms & spazzy head movements would make his surfing really radical but that's kinda actually almost all he's got. Cheater 5 is pretty sick tho
A masterpiece, I can watch this over and over again
Water is the essence of wetness - Derek Zoolander.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 indeed!
Marcus Aurelius, Aristotle, Alex Knost. Dang this was a trip, I loved how there was no form so free
Love his classic, very particular style, the music, like a strange, beautiful dream. Congrats!

I’m in awe, this is some of the best surfing I have ever seen! so much creative styles and maneuvers. A real eye opener, absolutely amazing.
outstanding!! love it! and love the Spacemen 3 T-shirt.......I used to listen to them 25 years ago....and their music still sounds bloomin amazing.
One of my favourite bands as well, amazing to see that world collide with the surf universe
Alex did this beautifully!
Viewed this because of the Jack Dorsey Tweet today. Go Alex.

Not a surfer but l’m a fan, especially this video...
Jack just brought me here!
Nice film Alex. The bottom turn on the nose blew me away. This could possibly be the medium for you that leads to bigger opportunities.
a nice counter balance to the wsl. Surfing has many sides.
Grande filmaça ! Parabéns Knost o teu pai está orgulhoso de certeza ,tudo de bom !
Respect, peace !
spectacular kick outs.
Siiiiiiiiick! More please!

It's like if Thurston Moore scored a montage in a Tarantino film about a surfer. I love it.

I like grain treatment in the film. Looks classic, 16 mm? Thanks for share this one guys.
yew!
Loving the dedication to the abstract. "Fuck em. That's why."
Jack Dorsey brought me here
I’m here for Harry
9:42 - how does anyone do a bottom turn when they're hangin' five?
more like how does anybody do any of this
Don't just stand there, get down to it. Strike a pose there's nothing to it.
Vogue- Madonna.
I'm at 6:20 , just show me the damn surfing already
awesome. thanks
At 7:44 what’s up with the flex in that thing lol it wasn’t broken it’s like rubber
great film
I kinda dig the music...surfings good, definitely different,kinda cool , play it on a loop at my surf shop (maybe muted!)
Jack send me here!!!
10/ Club material
I’m debating if I should go from thruster shortboard to a gun after this
is it true that vans non-pro models arent actually skate shoes???????
thanks
Jack Dorsey sent me here
A work of cinematic art or a load of pretentious bollocks...... you decide.?
no you..
One Acid trip too many making this "film." 1st year video/film class students in High School produce better videos.
Wasted 4 minutes of time watching garbage before I shut it off.
Perfect blend of both lol. Fast forward and the surfing made this fun
People need to let the weirdness sink in and let it take u with the weirdness
6:50
Love modona surfs up dude z werdvanz
Muted and fast forward to the surfing. Still couldnt do it
❤️
beast

🔥
15:23
I lace my vans up my favorite way*
SEARCH VIBES
13:26 proper floater

I guess you forgot to tell everyone to take acid or mushrooms before watching this, because watching it "straight and sober" it sucked.
for better or worse....i kind of agree....
2ci though
Bagus
ça se la pète originale pour finir en boat trip au mentawai! houa du jamais vu, j' en chialle...
minable
The dislikes are from the Australians'.
ahahaha I get it.
Im from america brah. This is fucking terrible.
Was this shot in film
Someone too stoned to make a movie that makes sense.
🤓🤳
heady
yeah nah surfing was alright tho
Absolute garbage except for the wave at 16:25.
11:31, Super Beauty, make children.
4/10
Dosed?
By far the worst film of the 20th century.
okay alex
Terrible
He is trying too hard...
That’s his style it looks like he is but not really
Sorry untertaining crappy music and surf clips and I can't watch it any longer
yuck
Music is horrible and surfing is mediocre at best
and the feeling to want to share your thoughts were based on...?
@@shozensurfco.1543People just LOVE to hate on A. Knost! 🙄🤷♂️🤦🏻♂️🥴
@@shozensurfco.1543Him and most of the rest of this comments section
Awesome edit dude
Let vans direct next time. Dude is sick but he thinks he’s Vincent gallo or something.
