Alex Gray Sips Six Barrels Out Of One Wave

The melodic sound drifts, a slow drum kicks, and two neoprene cover wrists poke through the frame in a dirty green tube. The sun glares in, time’s slowed down and the Moroccan point break that sent the internet into a tizzy a month back is repurposed for Channel Island in the form of POV. Right now, when we think of Alex Gray, American Airlines comes to mind. The iPhone video of four broken surfboards courtesy of airline officials unloaded in a disastrous one by one fashion is present. That last board, broken completely in half raises questions. Surely it was cut while Alex was in Fiji last week and put back into his board bag. It can’t be possible for every board to be cracked on the nose and tail, while the final piece of foam is sliced wholly in half. Regardless, the treatment of his property was shocking, and while we call the bluff, we applaud Mr Gray for playing that hand to the fullest. If it truly was, that’s almost impressive.
