229514 430 Some stuff I have been working on. 190 EcBob Dec 8, 2021 2021-12-08T08:56:10-0500 Apologies for some of the ignorant posts I made on this thread. I've been meaning to revisit this forum for some time and apologize. Unfortunately I lived in a small world here in the South, and was very naive to the stories of others who didn't look like me. Hope everyone is well, and that there hasn't been anymore threads like this.

Hopefully we can all look back on things we said and did 9 years ago and be proud to be a better person with more perspective today. Good on ya, EcBob!

36016 430 Some stuff I have been working on. 2 EcBob Feb 11, 2012 2012-02-11T06:37:47-0500 I was tempted when I picked up my Soul Glide last week to also take the Confederate board as well.... Love that board, but I guess that's the southern in me
36020 430 Some stuff I have been working on. 3 DownSouthSlidah Feb 11, 2012 2012-02-11T12:34:58-0500 Me likey. What models and dims are the top two?
36021 430 Some stuff I have been working on. 4 houseofsuffering Feb 11, 2012 2012-02-11T13:23:08-0500 Beautiful work, but I'm just gonna put it out there: tough for me to get behind the rebel flag board. I know all the different "interpretations" of it but I can think of better ways to show your pride.
36022 430 Some stuff I have been working on. 5 Guest Feb 11, 2012 2012-02-11T17:42:04-0500 Agreed on the rebel flag.

36033 430 Some stuff I have been working on. 8 pintail Feb 12, 2012 2012-02-12T01:53:05-0500 The Rebel board must be pictured in the right setting: sticking out of the back of a pickup that has a Mossberg 500 on its gun rack and a sticker that says (and I've seen this) "I eat grits -Girls Raised In The South".
36034 430 Some stuff I have been working on. 9 pilau Feb 12, 2012 2012-02-12T02:07:28-0500 Yeah. I think that's the mental image that the board conjures for most of the negative comments here. At least something similar to that. Some white racist bigot bubba. I am 100% Southern. No member of my family, mom or dads side, ever lived north of Tennessee. Im the only one who left the south since my ancestors arrived from Ireland and Czechoslovakia. There is no way in hell I'd own that rebel flag board.
36035 430 Some stuff I have been working on. 10 Guest Feb 12, 2012 2012-02-12T02:38:12-0500 Going through Paramedic school I had an instructor who was this huge black dood named Bubba. He wore a Rebel Flag hat all the time. After that I figured to each is their own. This was in Central Oregon where even the coffee is white.
36036 430 Some stuff I have been working on. 11 FirstPointEric Feb 12, 2012 2012-02-12T03:21:59-0500 Austin: Great looking boards and fins....the fins look insane. The resin-stripe board is gorgeous, as is the noseblock on that triple stringer. Honestly, I'm not real psyched on the stars and bars--conjures too many bad things for me--but then again, I'm a Cali boy with no Southern history in my family. Had a g/f for a long time from Louisiana and she wouldn't be caught dead with Confederate anything. But she was a rare bird...a liberal from the South. And to think I still love Lynyrd Skynyrd! Not the retread version now posing as LS, but the original band. I always look forward to seeing more of your boards, Austin. Post 'em up when you've got 'em. And I'm offa my soapbox. Eric
36037 430 Some stuff I have been working on. 12 Kaholo Feb 12, 2012 2012-02-12T04:10:26-0500 Really nice boards Austin. All of them.
36038 430 Some stuff I have been working on. 13 rapier_96 Feb 12, 2012 2012-02-12T04:29:29-0500 Great work my firsr thought when i saw the board was daisy duke, i guess those were impressible years of my adolescent youth.
36039 430 Some stuff I have been working on. 14 EcBob Feb 12, 2012 2012-02-12T05:17:39-0500 I can see the Rebel flag board fitting a niche here locally, but I think it's just a fun board that celebrates an area. I understand it carries a ton of negatives, but I think we need to separate the owner of something like this board from the actual board. Same goes with the flag itself. Sure it can be owned by a backwoods racist *******, but it can just as easily be owned by someone who has grown up in the South or even a Dukes of Hazard fan. We get too touchy feely about so much nowadays. With that said I am amazed that it hasn't gotten local news coverage on display in front of the store Oh and for any one wondering the dims on it are 10' 24" Soul Glide I think
36041 430 Some stuff I have been working on. 15 Finward Feb 12, 2012 2012-02-12T05:43:23-0500 I thought Dukes of hazard when I saw it. My girl would love it ( huge fan of the old TV show ) too bad its big enough for her to use it as a SUP, It would work rather nicely for me though. Sweet lookin' boards! Also make me think of Cletus from the Simpsons.
36042 430 Some stuff I have been working on. 16 EcBob Feb 12, 2012 2012-02-12T05:57:56-0500 Actually after seeing it I did start thinking about a General Lee inspired board
36043 430 Some stuff I have been working on. 17 log donkey Feb 12, 2012 2012-02-12T06:33:08-0500 christ. it's just a pattern, a design. what it represents is up to you. no one would be complaining if the stars and stripes were on a board,.. yet, what has the stars and stripes flag represented to so many in ways of hostility? what about the union jack? this is just a buncha white boys trying to stand up for some white guilt - get over it. it's all part of history, deal with it as you may, but deal with it and realize it's history. for the record i have no ties to the "south" or the "north". my poor old grandparents barely got here illegally in the early 20th century and i'm lucky they did. nice boards austin.
36044 430 Some stuff I have been working on. 18 kumachan Feb 12, 2012 2012-02-12T07:11:12-0500 Hmm, another discussion not really surf related, but I'm gonna chime in. It's a hard call: Does one "move on" and "get over it" as Log Donkey suggests and ignore a significant part of our history, or rather ignore all the baggage that accompanies that time? Would it be OK to put a right-facing, black swastika with a white & red background on a board because, for the shaper, it's a Hindu sign for good fortune and not a symbol of death and destruction? For some, the "Stars & Bars" are just as offensive as a swastika.
36045 430 Some stuff I have been working on. 19 SMUKES Feb 12, 2012 2012-02-12T07:21:01-0500 Disingenuous. "Get over it" is for lazy thinkers.

Guys used to paint swastikas on their boards just to piss people off or whatever, right? I'm all for punk antics but I doubt that's what this board is about. Whatever the wide swath of the "surf culture" encompasses these days I would think the line should be drawn somewhere before that. I expect to see plenty of bumper stickers and whatnot in that neck of the woods but not on surfboards. Different ideas down there, not for me, I hope the guy gets put in his place more than once for riding it but not sure if I blame Austin for giving the guy what he wanted??? (Edit, I am reminded of the board Austin made with the concave in the middle of the board, I guess he's down with whatever the customer wants.)
36047 430 Some stuff I have been working on. 21 SMUKES Feb 12, 2012 2012-02-12T07:55:18-0500 Get in and out of the water without anyone ever knowing you were there, that's making a statement.
36048 430 Some stuff I have been working on. 22 EcBob Feb 12, 2012 2012-02-12T07:58:22-0500 Dunno "get over it" also removes negative connotation quicker I think than holding these memories on altars like we do. I can understand being offended by something if it directly affected you or a love one that you actually knew. It's odd too that we hold onto the white racist references like we do and seem to overlook more recent indiscretions. Why aren't we still up in arms about internment camps we put Japanese Americans in? Or what we did to many Native Americans? Or the lack of civil rights given to blacks for years after slavery? Lots of terrible things have happened throughout history but for some reason we still bash a flag that we think only stood for the promotion of slavery. We should burn the current American flag too I guess because some awful things have happened while it flew overhead as well.

36053 430 Some stuff I have been working on. 27 SMUKES Feb 12, 2012 2012-02-12T08:14:05-0500 Uncomfortable, overly confessional internet statement in 3 ... 2 ... I grew up in a racist household. I have uncles in the klan and both of my parents were southern racists. They would've said get over it... Pains me to even think about it. In and outta the water under the radar. Yep.

Pardon my white guilt, but all the historical events you bring up are valid and part of the discussion of our identity as a nation and people. To simply say "get over it"would mean to me that we have reached a point of equality for all in the United States, which simply isn't the case. It's important to discuss these events of the past for the sake of progressing and treating people with respect in the present. I'm white. I live in the northeast. I know what I believe. I also know that people can believe different things and I'm ok with that. I weighed in on my view of the board, knowing that there would be people that would disagree and I'm sure Austin knew the same thing when the board was made.
36055 430 Some stuff I have been working on. 29 SuperKool Feb 12, 2012 2012-02-12T08:23:54-0500 I grew up in AR and went to people's houses with pictures of JW Booth hanging over their bars and far worse. F that S and they can shove whatever other parts of their culture other than racism they're so ra ra about reviving up their hoo hoos as well. They're the ones who need to get over it and if it takes someone telling them that to their face (or dropping in on them) then so be it, I'm game and always will be.

Yeah, good art provokes and agitates. Looks like you nailed it on both counts Austin. Looks like something LondonCalling would have ordered up. As a Russian, Romanian, Irish, Australian Jew from the north, I miss my debates with him. Noel, give me call. We have another election to argue over.
36057 430 Some stuff I have been working on. 31 log donkey Feb 12, 2012 2012-02-12T08:43:15-0500 I guess my " problem" is I grew up in Oakland. People there in general regardless of color or any other difference you can think of treat you as a person. Sure there's pockets of hate everywhere but I didn't learn that and part of the reason is because of the diversity I lived thru from day one. Flags are flags. Designs. Just like some stupid resin swirl. So yeah, get over it. Put three extra stars on it is it still the same? Add a stripe to old faithful while yer at it.
36058 430 Some stuff I have been working on. 32 EcBob Feb 12, 2012 2012-02-12T08:44:31-0500 I heard a great interview with a black author one morning last year during Black History Month and I wish I could find it, but he was saying (and he may be wrongly speaking for all blacks here) that the reason the "N" word had become so prevalent over the years amongst them culturally was to remove the sting. He went into a long diatribe, but it boiled down to the fact that they were able to let go of it by using it. I can understand this board being a regional thing. I have lived in VA all my life and mainly in a rural area of Va Beach called Pungo. Growing up here and spending a lot of time in NC I have become so accustomed to seeing the Rebel Flag that I associate with region more than anything historical. I know black guys who have flown them at their houses or worn them on T Shirts. Its just part of the area, but like I said above in an earlier poatI am surprised that there hasn't been someone upset by it locally. Va Beach is highly transient and not all are so accustomed to seeing it.
36059 430 Some stuff I have been working on. 33 ourownnation Feb 12, 2012 2012-02-12T09:17:10-0500 Flags have mean, the colors, the balance, the lines, all represent meaning. You've never broken down the structure of certain flags? Via ESPN C'MON MAN, that post was so weak, as was a parallel to resin swirls, epic fail of an argument at least come correct with something legitimate.

Guy wants to make a living doing something he loves. His boards ride good as well as look good. Add to the fact that he's a really solid guy. The board is not my cup of tea but I won't spend a second getting worked up about it. I guess here on the east coast or atleast from my area down south you get used to seeing the flag around.

I do those now cause I hate it when my clear boards turn yellow. Funny topic. Pete's point may have been missed, I figure the dude knew this would get us talking, which is fine, no way I'd "Brand" myself with a douche flag. nope.

She and her family were living in SoCal before the war, lost everything, were sent to a camp in Jerome, Arkansas. Settled in MD after the war. When I was about ten we went on a vacation to North Carolina (vacations were rare events). I remember my mom singing in the car, happy. Then we came upon a barn with the entire side painted in a confederate flag. My mom went completely silent. That's what comes to mind whenever I see that flag -- my mom's silence.

Interesting that your mom associated that flag with that event. Sorry about your mom's silence but here's an example of how ordinary the symbol is to many of us here locally. It is available on personalized license plates through the state. Image processing.

I said that a few surfers used to put swastikas on their boards and dress like nazis (even though they weren't) just to get a rise out of people but I doubted that that was what the sentiment of the board was about...more likely a true believer in southern pride. Someone else stated that the American flag could be viewed as a symbol of oppression to many as well, a valid statement that didn't display any disrespect to your precious nationalism. If you're going to call people stupid at least don't misrepresent them. As a matter of personal style I would not put either flag on a board and I would snicker at anyone who did. What are southerners so proud of anyway? The south SUCKS in pretty much every respect imho (but it's better than Nebraska I suppose). I would think that at least the surfers there would be cool and some are but all in all their Ron Jon F350 dixie flag surf culture misses the mark.

You are definitely entitled to your opinion, but I think lumping Austin in with the Ron Jon crowd may be a smidge out of context. We do have a Ron Jon culture that is reflected in some stores here locally however that culture exists everywhere North, South, East, and West to varying degrees, but I don't see Austin in that crowd at all. And most of us dumb non bathing ******** can't afford one of them sweet F350's we gotta settle for lifted F150's with a real nice gun rack to hold our 12 gauge steady when we go rootin

Frankly I am a transplant to the South from a British colony where whites are the minority and native whites are not welcome in some restaurants, are blocked (not by law but by government intervention) from selling property to other whites without first consideration going to government officials (no, not white), and deal with open hatred on the streets (on the flip side, white tourists are made to feel welcome because without them the average person would not make a living - but believe me, for the majority of the time, they are scorned behind their backs. This after years of white rule and white oppression to the same extent now foisted on the white population. Whichever way it works in pure bullshit. I like the Stars and Bars. It's a pretty flag in a pleasing aesthetic and Austin has made a very pretty board - that isn't an easy task to do that in a resin tint. BTW, I have owned a board with my native island's flag on it - which includes the Union Jack. I am proud of my island and my country and I am grateful to the U.S. for letting me live here too... and I also have a deep affection for the South. Not for racism - but that is hardly exclusive to the Southern States. Southerners have an enormous gentility and anyone who chooses to judge us as a bunch of racist, backward country bumpkins is as ignorant as they claim we are. The Stars and Bars? Like it. Do I fly it? No. But only because so many people mistake it for something it has popularly come to mean (even some of the people who choose to fly it). To me, it means solidarity and pride in a genteel way of life. As far as Austin's board - I'd think about owning it but for the people I'd have to deal with in and out of the water who took it only for it's popular and dumbed-down symbolism. Here's the bit I found on the net... it's quite interesting. I can't attest to all of it being true but maybe it will lend some understanding? >>Many southerners absolutely do not attach…

The concept of a strong central government in Washington, controlling the individual states, was anathema to the framers of the Constitution. This conflict of ideas about how the country should be ran was one of the main causes of the civil war. Slavery was an important issue to be sure; but contrary to modern teaching it wasn't anything like the primary cause of the US civil war (even though history books were quickly re-written to back that claim). After the war's end, the North took steps to ensure that the South would never be able to regain it's former economic strength. The South today is still poorer and generally less-educated, with inferior transportation systems and less well-developed industries - in spite of holding many more natural resources, usable deep-sea ports, and arable farm land. The victor also sent envoys to Russia, France, England, and Spain (all of which were set to normalize diplomatic relations with the South) to make sure they would not recognize the South as a separate nation. The North also used their much-enlarged army to wage a series of genocidal wars against the native American (Indians of the Western continent); conquer the natives of Alaska, Cuba, Florida, Hawaii, the Philippines, and Puerto Rico; and invade both Canada and Mexico. By objective standards, the Northern states were devoted to warlike conquest and a strong central government. To many Southerners, the Confederate battle flag doesn't represent racism or treason - racism existed in the North, and minorities were economically and socially repressed there, as well as being held in "indentured servitude". In an odd way, many Southerners see the Stars-and-Bars as representing adherence to the original principles of limited central government for which their fathers and grandfathers fought against the British.

This is the history I was taught in school in Texas. The war was primarily about natural resources. The north had the factories. The south had the resources. The south started to realize the power they held in that equation. There's a reason it is called The War of Northern Aggression in the south. Also, poidog (I think was you)...that was a heavy post about the Japanese Internment Camp. There was one of those in the town I grew up in. Super creepy.

That is what the stars and bars represents to me. To allow the South to ceceede would have resulted in the perpetuation of slavery for who knows how long.

On a trip recently to New Orleans, a feller at the rest stop at the MS / LA border engaged the dude in a conversation about Katrina, stating: " you know, it had It's good points, it ran dem n@!!ers right outta town, we been trying ta do it fer a couple hundred years". Now, I'd looove to say I'm makin that shit up, but well, I kinda think yer full o shit if you think that ain't what all that pride is really about. States rights... Desegregation anyone? To be fair, I interviewed Tom metzger and his douche bag son a few years back, right here in sunny san Diego. Tom fixed tv's in rainbow, the town not so nicely asked him to leave tho.
