is he really a drifter if he takes a camera along for the ride?

stuu, you are the biggest hater on this whole website. you must sit on a thrown while pointing out everyone's faults and speaking in a "greater-than-you" tone. Are you the king somewhere? nah, you're probably a 40 year old "never-was" and still live with your mom

Stu is King of comments

my question to Machado is how well did the Hurley Phantom Boardshorts hold up when digging wells in the rain?
November 5th, 2009 at 11:05 pm
Actually, I've got nothing bad to say about Rob. My encounters with him have been nothing but enjoyable. Just questioning the corporateness of this one. Now if you'll excuse me, my "thrown" is getting cold.

i saw rob and taylor steele at a balinese house of many pleasures. they rocked up in a suv as i was drinking in the bar out front. both went straight in without even stopping for a binnie. toobs in day and night make a man feel right. yesssir!

the drifter movie……hmm…..the little bit of surfing in it was good….but mono-tone narration by rob was a bit over the top.How can one sound so depressed and lost when making close to 1/2 million US $ a year to travel and surf. Dont want to sound like a hater , but I expected more. Sorry Taylor Steele , not saying I can do better , but this is just anther avg surf film at best , that gets all played up by the media. This is why surf movies should be about surfing , because Taylor Steele lacks any type of professional creativity.I wont buy it!

I agree as a film maker no disrespect but rob is not a drifter and way to hollywood for me, and why are thay Hurley not giving proceeds to Bali from the movie.now jamies new movie JOB is real angry truth loved the trailer……

A terrible video with terrible interviews! Quick Synopsis Brandon / Mike are donkeys, Sherm looks like my Grandpa, Cote should be mopping floors at peep shows, not giving interviews…hey does anybody remember when Chris used to do the interviews and Justin used to Rule Swamiis? What happened to those days.
