THE CULT Create Death From Below Limited Edition Surf Board
September 28, 2013, 11 years ago
To coincide with THE CULT's world tour of Electric 13, the cult have created an iconic limited edition surf board.
After seeing Apocalypse Now I became fascinated with the sub cultures that existed during the Vietnam War, especially the scenes that focused on Lieutenant Colonel Kilgore's (Robert Duvall) love of surfing and his iconic surf board.
Surfer culture during the Vietnam War has always been a great muse to me, the idea of a culture so free and expressive in the violent and oppressive environment of a war zone is such a great symbol of man's desire to master his environment and coexist with nature.
The board had become an object of desire. I always wanted to own one. So we created the Death From Below / Surf Cult version."
Conceived and designed by Ian Astbury and Sonya Koshuta, board shaper Bob Davis (Carrozza Surf Boards).
