You Couldn’t Mind Surf A Wave Better Than This

Ethan Ewing’s surfing is technically flawless.

For every one 1 Kuwaiti Dinar (world’s strongest currency) you have in your pocket, you can exchange it for 1,509,751.75 Venezuelan Bolívares (world’s weakest currency). 

I don’t know much about economics or how currency values are calculated, but I do know that as flattering as a stuffed wallet holding millions of dollars of notes may initially feel, its novelty is short-lived, and quickly becomes cumbersome when its cash value equates to a measly muesli bar. 

If style is ‘economy of movement’, Ethan Ewing has a nice stash of Kuwaiti Dinars.

He gets more with less, wielding one of those slim ergonomic wallets that slips snuggly in your back pocket. No superfluous, spazzy movements, just lighting fast, tidy, technical surfing using only a single token. 

Watch him cash out some Kuwaiti Dinars at the Central American wave market.
