 Surfing and tattoos, a ride culture lifestyle [13 Pics]



Introduction

The recently launched WSTRNCV Magazine concerns itself with “ride culture”, featuring the best of “boards & wheels.” They cover topics such as surfing, skateboarding , snowboarding, vintage motorcycles, custom cars and the music and art that immerses these cultures.

Included here is a selection of surf culture images from their launch issue. Also check their short video featuring the rather stunning Indonesian actress/designer Fahrani Empel.

WSTRNCV Magazine was kind enough to let us use their images and we thought we should share them with our readers as we think that not only is the imagery stunning but we get to experience a bit of a hidden lifestyle, as we are taken on a wild journey. Enjoy.

Hint: Use “J” and “K” keys to navigate from picture to picture.

    Really great stuff. For tattoo lovers, fans, or just plain interested in the culture.

    Wow, here are 4 people I’ve never heard of and have absolutely no impact on the world of surfing…

      So if you don’t know these people they must be nobody’s… and you are?

    Would somebody please explain to me why tattoos are so popular? I don’t see it as being attractive…must be some other reason.

      I could not understand tattoos as you do and I couldn’t understand why people would want a tattoo … until I discovered the Polynesian culture (I’m from Europe myself).

      A tattoo is about describing you and/or your history into a symbol. Something very personal and with meaning for you.
      An outsider looking at a Polynesian tattoo for example can not really understand it but for them is their life story written a bit at the time…

      In my opinion a tattoo should be subtle and meaningful (like my own :) ).

      Anything picked of a catalog which is just “cool” and means nothing to you (as a symbol) or covering up your skin with blondes and brunettes, aliens or dragons, skulls and the like… is just “show off” … No different than “testosterone wars” among some males…

    A lot of the surfing community is lost with being trying to be too cool. Just surf and be good to others, that’s how it should be. Now people fight over waves and think tattoos on their neck is cool.

    When I see huge tattoos like this on attractive women I feel very sorry for them.

    They’ve clearly fallen for mystique of the style and look without any clue at all how it will look in 15 or 20 years. Which will ALWAYS look like a blurry ugly monstrosity.

    Conservative alert! There’s a whole lotta tattoo bashing going on here. I’m guessing most of you sit in stuffy offices, go home and eat the same stale crap, and then pass out after making excuses of why you can’t (or won’t) service your wife. Tattoos are considered art. Maybe not to you older ‘gentlemen’, but to most of the younger generations (that will be running the world soon and making the laws that regulate how and when you get your social security if your lucky enough to do so), so I wouldn’t bash something just because it’s not your personal choice. I don’t think smoking is attractive, but in the 50′s and 60′s it was considered to be so.

      cheers mate

    People seem to have gained bonding with tattoos. This is truly unbelievable thing. The passion for tattoos never ending.

    I would love to adopt such a lifestyle. Really, it deserves all the possible applause.
