The Caught Red Handed Surf Hipster Graffiti-gate thread directory
      #2214042 - 12/27/11 09:16 PM

It's hard to keep track of the Caught Red Handed threads, so here are the links to them:

>>>Caught Red Handed (Tyler Warren)

>>>Caught Red Handed High Seas Edition (Mikey DeTemple)

>>>Caught Red Handed Lomax/Lightner

>>>Caught Red Handed "The New Era" (Gantez Warrior band)

*disclosure - I am friends with many of the players involved. Very awkward.

My stance: I am a huge art fan, but not stoked on the Baja graffiti.

Message to my artist friends, the ball is in your court. Time to issue a statement and your intentions to correct this situation.

Why this concerns other surfers (at least those who travel to Baja surf spots): the local Mexican fishing co-op guys who were born and raised in San Juanico and NOT stoked on the 3rd point graffiti. They have been super bummed on surfers lately. The local fisherman are good guys. They have been working hard on environmental issues. They have run off sea turtle poaching. The self imposed limits on fish, lobster and abalone have been working. They are hardworking family men. They are proud of their natural resources. They are proud of their home.

The wave at San Juanico is mindbending and world class. If we want to continue to surf this special place we need the locals to be stoked on us surfers as a whole.

Looking forward to something positive coming out of all of this...

They shouldn't have painted them thar rocks...I'd be careful throwing rocks at them though. That whole he who is without sin trip.

Hopefully they pay to have it fixed, say they're sorry and make a donation to the Co-op or to help the region.

I have a feeling that this all could have been done with water based paint and thus only for the photo shoot itself, to be gone by the next rain.


Even if this is the case, is is still wildly inappropriate and ill thought out. Its unintended effect of giving permission and glamorizing something would be much like the spike in HIV rates with the sudden popularity of bareback films (where actors are regularly tested).

This.

The stuff I saw didnt have the look of normal spraycan graffiti. And if I remember right it was all a uniform red orange color... this all has the look of a very successful joke on whoever surftalk is. God I hope it's who i think it is... He's proven himself even more of a faggoty hipster douche, by miles, than the guys he says he's all handwringy about...

Don't do when you travel what you wouldn't do in your own town. For you travellers to Mexico, this is not limited to defacing property that doesn't belong to you. Seems simple enough to me.

The Coop may be all that you say, based on 35 years of personal experience as both an active member and observer it would be a rare example of fishing coops in Mexico. I hope you are correct in your assessment.

I'm pretty sure there is a small local expat presence there. When there is some beef between travelling surfers and the local community in the area where I live the local community goes to the longest standing member of the expat community and offers them the chance to get it sorted out. If this person either can't or is unwilling too then its under the bus. See BI comment on local enforcement on the other thread, same same.

The fact that you might be capable of thinking doesn't make your thoughts valid. As DKennedy correctly notes, your post is nothing more than rampant speculation, i.e., made up.

"Water based paint"? Not sure what you mean by that. Are you referring to latex paint? That's what people paint the exterior of their homes and their interior walls with; it's water based. Last time I checked, it doesn't wash off in the first rain.

And I am unfamiliar with latex products being dispensed from aerosol cans, but I could be wrong about that.

Did the people running the public shaming campaine talk to these hippy painter guys first?

I think it's an example of thoughtlessness and not mal-intent.

When you publically shame it becomes an ego protection issue. The hipster must self protect, right or wrong.

Much more effective to have privately educated the offender first. This seems like a pretty simple problem to solve.

Does anyone here ever do Sharpie tatoos on drunk girls?

It comes off in a couple of days and you get to express your art on fertile girls.

There are every variety of aerosol paint and dye products available today. All sorts for body painting to hair dyeing to just plain water based.


I still think it is unforgivable as even these products will work themselves into the textured rock surface and certainly stay around long enough for some 'tard' with a real aerosol paint can can be inspired to join in on the festivities.



Remember Malcolm Gladwell's 'Blink' where he sites study after study proving the existing graffiti gives license to yet more graffiti, which in turn gives license to all sorts of other criminal and nefarious activities.

Krylon makes a line of latex spray paint.

Even though its water based, once it's dry it's a mvther
fvcker to try and chip off. They make the stuff to last
once it's applied.

All the environment talk in these threads has been pure bullshit.

The only point that has any legs at all is that the locals to that area will get angry and may be unfriendly to surfers. That's speculation.

If surfers can see to it that manufacturers stop making surfboards out of the things theyre currently made out of, and stop traveling by jet and car, the environment will be vastly more positively affected than it is negatively by these marks. As a matter of pure fact, the environmental health of the area is not affected at all by these marks, and IS negatively affected by surfers coming there at all.

The zen aspect of it is horseshit too.

I'm sure there are a lot of people on the beach and in the world who would push the "make surfers disappear" button if they could gaze on ocean waves breaking without the clutter and crowds. What do you care?

Lastly, yep, I'm certain "surftalk" (hi, ex-pat prolific erBB ranter disguised under your new pseudonym! ) could have done more to ensure a positive outcome by going through channels and registering his complaint. But he wanted to be an internet enforcer.

It will be truly funny if it turns out to be someone who has been an internet enforcer under a pseudonym on behalf of people who are about one millimeter different than these guys. I'm betting thats the case, and I'm hoping comeuppance happens.

I thought of this on the very first thread. Because THAT'S the story I would have stuck with. The paint was... it was... why the paint was water soluble!! Water solubule paint!! I am NOT an asshole! That's the ticket!! Yes!


Too bad. Because It would have flown until someone went back down there with a camera and a bottle of water. I mean, if you were aware enough of what you were doing to use water base paints, wouldn't you put a disclaimer on site? Wouldn't that discolsure have been your FIRST response to this whole thing?

After all this time, if they claim water base, yeah. Sure it is.

What's really sad is I played dodgeball with all these guys.

The problem is all these hipster surfer types think that they are artists. Real artists are few and far between and we're lucky to have one grace the erBB

My 10yr warranty roof coating is water-based, as is the bottom paint for the skiff.
Those will not be rinsing off any time soon.
Many oil-based paints are being phased out in favor of water-based, OSHA, EPA and all that...

I love how the first moron painted his own logo wrong, ie the "$" in "$urf-knot" is reversed in all but the rock graffiti.
Will he claim plausible deniability?

Yeah. Who would have thunk that someone would actually try to justify this juvenile horsesh*t, while at the same time attacking the poster that called this douchery to people's attention? Truly amazing.




1, I didnt JUSTIFY it. I said it might be not worth all this outcry, for several reasons, including what I called especial attention to: the hypocrisy of surfers, riding petro-boards, who travel and thereby despoil the environment, change natural scenes, impose, imprint and corrupt local culture and economies, all as a matter of course.

2, Thus surftalk is quite likely a hypocrite in these and several other ways.

I also note the presence of several posters above who are known to corrupt local populations with vile vile ways...

True evil lurks.

...and the same goes for genocide, subjugation of women, etc. Nice logic there...

It's about the douchey hypocrisy, as has been pointed out to you about half a dozen times.
I would have thought the same thing even if they had used spray chalk, yet chose to let people believe it was paint.

There is, again, no environmental impact except aesthetic, which is a human-only concern.

Thus the effects are only to the local population and surfers.

"Douchey" doesnt merit an attempt to ruin creative people under cover of internet pseudonyms, especially when youre a hypocrite, as are most people, and st's bitch was heavily enviro-weighted.

I think a lot of people are douchey hypocrites, on the internet and IRL, but I dont invent false identities and try to ruin them and their entire reputation. THAT's cunty.

Yes it is on one hand subjective, that's art you moron.
On the other hand, i do not:
a) make money from my image as an "artist"
b) promote myself with affiliations to orgs like Sea Shepard, Surfrider etc.
c) pretend to ride anything other than polluting, state of the art equipment.

My moral high ground lies precisely with,
"One of us! One of us!"
and that's what makes them hypocrites, not me.

That said, just going down there is creating "environmental impact" your favorite red herring.

Glad to know you find these groups irrelevant, despite the lack of truth to that statement.

Exposing truth to the public is anything but what you are describing.
The people involved can defend themselves here if they wish, they are not being censored.

I think you're projecting, after all you are the one who was(is still? lol) trying to find out personal information about me, simply because of your online butthurt here.

All the environment talk in these threads has been pure bullshit.






I think you have missed the point. It's not specifically about the environment, it's about douchery!


When you get this combustible admixture of environmental vandalism, self promotion without self knowledge, and flagrant carpetbagging hucksterism, you get douchery, as old and ugly as it ever was.




Thank you bali as no truer words were ever spoken

just because you arent ashamed to share your chitty drawing skills with the rest of the world doesnt make you an "artist" any more that someone who takes pride in the varying shape of their own excrement

lame is lame and Im sorry that some of you are buying into this newest version of surfers pretending to be more culturally relevant. Surfers have always been the regurgitators of all things "cool", were on it early but usually its borrowed from someone else. In the 90's it was biker/rocker/tattoos, 2000's was natural/green/retro fish that has now morphed into bohemian/indie/artist in womens pants and V-necks....such individuals they are!!

arent marketing campaigns fun?

This thread was brought to my attention and I wanted to make a statement about it.

This will be my ONLY statement regarding this matter.

Late May, 2010 I took a trip to Scorpion Bay to shoot with some friends for my film Sight Sound.
During a driving break in the desert, some rocks were painted with various logos. Unfortunately, a rock was tagged with my logo on it.
I did not do this, film this or give consent for this to be done. For these reasons, the tasteless footage of the rock painting did not make it into the film, extras or credits.

Many of you may not know me as a person, but this isn't my style. I work very closely with the New York Surfrider Foundation on events throughout the NorthEast, as well as the American Heart Association speaking to kids about heart disease.

I am truly sorry that such an event happened with a trip that my company and I were on.

I think that reputation and motives of the creator of this thread should be looked at closely. In the year and a half after this happened, I have never been contacted about this.

Best,

Mikey DeTemple

Cross posting is nasty...

But since you insist:
Quote:

First, in all seriousness, thank you for posting.
This shows courage and deserves respect.

That courage however, would have been better used to speak up, on a trip you funded(?) and had your name assigned to at the time it happened.
You were complicit at the time, even if only by your silence or inaction.
That is shameful and it colors your response here as one who was caught and is trying to avoid more bad press or financial ramifications, rather than one who is truly remorseful.

Trying to shift the focus to SURFTALK's alleged motivations is heinous and childish, please stop.
You are under scrutiny here, if you want to find out or express something about SURFTALK, start another thread.

So again, thank you for joining and commenting.
If you choose to simply drop a statement of that nature and leave however, i am unconvinced of your sincerity to say the least.

Very photoshopped PPK.

Someone threw it up in another thread.

The UBB still remains almost mythical.



Hope you enjoyed the Holidays.

Happy New Year!

It's shopped. You can tell it's UBB's image shopped from his twit-vatar (if that's even real).

This whole surf-ster, Baja graffiti look-at-me BS is so........ typical of what the mytwitface kingdom of fools has become. Everyone's become attention whores. They need to validate their vapid hipster existence by posting their little juvenile antics.

It's not much different than punk kids and should-know-better young adults putting surf stickers all over anything smooth enough to make them stick. I ask these surf-ster enviro-wannabees if they would spray their same tags at their home breaks. If the answer is no, then you are nothing but huge enviro-hypocrites.

Leave the places you visit with less signs of your visit, and the world will be a better place. These guys are no better than dogs pissing and s**ting to mark territories, not unlike inner city gangs.

did you surf today?
