Nic Von Rupp Dons The Orange Tunic Once More

“This is the most barreled T-shirt in the history of mankind.”

So, looks like we’re not going anywhere this summer. Or this winter. Or the summer after that, or…

Ok, sorry. Not gonna get all end-of-days on you. But the realities of a pandemicized world have been embraced, and they are primarily boring.

The chances of you or a loved one dying from covid are exceptionally low. The chances of you being able to pursue life’s greatest pleasures despite covid are equally low. Especially if you’re a traveling surfer. 

For the average punter who gets his one or two surf trips a year, stay-at-home measures are no big deal. But when you’ve become accustomed (let alone contractually-obligated) to chase swells around the globe, the new normal hits hard.

Enter Nic Von Rupp.

In this episode of Von Froth, Nic revisits a 2017 trip to Indo in which he wore a neon-orange T-shirt for three days of pumping Kandui. Nic calls it “the the most barreled T-shirt in the history of mankind.”
