https://kevin.surf/ What's new in a punk surf-and-skate zine from Texas. en-us Wed, 11 Nov 2026 14:30:00 -0600 https://kevin.surf/ kevin.surf:2026-11-11:motion-pass Wed, 11 Nov 2026 14:30:00 -0600 The cover's collage gets put down one piece at a time when you arrive: ramp card, gig poster, surfboard, skateboard. Scroll and the pieces drift at different depths, in little stop-motion jumps. Further down, a notebook page flutters in, a tanker chugs in, and a stamp gets stamped. If your device asks for reduced motion, everything stays put. https://kevin.surf/ kevin.surf:2026-11-11:v2-look Wed, 11 Nov 2026 13:30:00 -0600 The zine got a print refresh. The colours come out true now instead of muddy: cream paper, real mustard, deep oxblood. The cover skater is a proper cut-out with a red cap, the big wave has woodcut lines, and the labs look printed. Learn, Tankers and Hikes each open with a new collage piece, including a Guadalupe Peak postage stamp. https://kevin.surf/#ai kevin.surf:2026-11-11:sat-primer Wed, 11 Nov 2026 11:45:00 -0600 The AI page's wire has a little puzzle now: a 3-SAT formula you can solve yourself by tapping A, B and C. It explains the exponential-time clipping next to it. Three older clippings came out to keep the wire uncluttered. https://kevin.surf/#garage kevin.surf:2026-11-09:garage-wiring Mon, 09 Nov 2026 22:55:00 -0600 On a wide screen the Garage opens with a napkin wiring diagram: what goes into each machine, what comes out, and a box to jump to each one. The Wire's clippings on the AI page pack together now instead of leaving holes, and the tanker and Waco drawings letter their labels bigger on a phone. https://kevin.surf/#skate kevin.surf:2026-11-09:tidy-up Mon, 09 Nov 2026 22:30:00 -0600 La Perla Bowl's card has a drawing now: the bowl from the side, dry for skating and full for swimming. Around the zine, the verdict stickers slap on once instead of every minute, headlines sit cleaner on a phone, and the drum machine's nameplate fits on one line. https://kevin.surf/ kevin.surf:2026-11-08:puerto-rico Sun, 08 Nov 2026 14:00:00 -0600 Rincón and Jobos are on the swell ticker now, and the SWELL-O-TRON 3000 in the garage has a Puerto Rico group. Both are offshore readings. The skate page has a new spot too: La Perla Bowl in Old San Juan, a skate bowl that becomes a community pool when it's filled with water. https://kevin.surf/#garage kevin.surf:2026-11-07:garage-machines Sat, 07 Nov 2026 13:30:00 -0600 The SK8-808's screen is a skate cam now: a skater rides across with the beat, ollies on every POP and bails on a SLAM. On a phone the whole 16-step pattern fits. The Flyer-O-Matic has new Rider artwork, KROB on the deck, and tear-off tabs along the bottom. https://kevin.surf/#surf kevin.surf:2026-11-07:gulf-gauges Sat, 07 Nov 2026 12:00:00 -0600 Under "Is the Gulf on?", pick a Texas break and get three gauges. One says how much of the surf is real swell and how much is wind chop. One shows the tide curve with a you-are-here dot. One says what to wear in the water. Live from Open-Meteo and NOAA. https://kevin.surf/ kevin.surf:2026-11-07:feed Sat, 07 Nov 2026 11:00:00 -0600 You're reading it. New things on kevin.surf show up here. There's also a humans.txt with the credits, and an 88x31 button at the bottom of the page for anyone who wants to link here. https://kevin.surf/ kevin.surf:2026-11-04:rider-naps Wed, 04 Nov 2026 15:00:00 -0600 When every Texas break reads under 2 ft, the rider at the top of the page lies down on his board for a nap, Z's and all. Big swell anywhere still wakes him up stoked. https://kevin.surf/ kevin.surf:2026-11-04:phone-speed Wed, 04 Nov 2026 12:00:00 -0600 The page loads a lot quicker on a phone now: fonts come from kevin.surf itself, and sections you haven't scrolled to wait their turn. https://kevin.surf/#hikes kevin.surf:2026-11-04:hiker-rock Wed, 04 Nov 2026 10:00:00 -0600 In the Hikes tile, the hiker climbs over a rock, stops to fix a boot, then looks this way and waves. https://kevin.surf/ kevin.surf:2026-11-03:tile-tricks Tue, 03 Nov 2026 16:00:00 -0600 The little scenes in the menu got tricks. The skater kickflips, shove-its and varials over the cone. The surfer cuts back, gets barreled, airs and wipes out. The swimmers front flip, back flip and dive off the rope swing. The drummer does stick tricks and stands up to play now and then. There's a pause button too. https://kevin.surf/#swim kevin.surf:2026-11-02:james-river Mon, 02 Nov 2026 12:00:00 -0600 A new swimming hole near Mason, a low-water crossing on the James. The live gauge is the Llano River's, just downstream, and the card says so. https://kevin.surf/#ai kevin.surf:2026-10-20:ai-page Tue, 20 Oct 2026 12:00:00 -0500 What machines have actually done, from chess to math olympiads, with the sources linked and the fine print read. https://kevin.surf/ kevin.surf:2026-09-27:live Sun, 27 Sep 2026 12:00:00 -0500 A punk surf-and-skate zine from Texas. Learn something. Then go outside.
