The movie Point Break is was an iconic part of modern surf history. Sure, the plot and representation of surfing within the movie’s terrible script was fundamentally flawed in so so many ways, but nevertheless, with the help of Keanu Point Break’s global popularity helped to establish surfing as a stable and commercially-viable industry.
But let’s not kid ourselves, it wasn’t Keanu Reeves’ extremely believable kookathon of mishaps in the water that made us keep playing that Point Break video cassette for the 30th time. Hell no – it was all about the hell-man antics of Patrick Swayze, better known as Bodhi, the fearless surf warrior who disappeared into a spectacular ‘Bells Beach’ finale. In an in-imitable accent Bodhi spoke the words that pumped up groms across the world for years to come….
If you want the ultimate, you gotta be willing to pay the ultimate price.
And if you want the ultimate tshirt, well I think I may have just found it for you.
The Bodhi RIP tee was designed and manufactured by the all Australian label The Critical Slide Society, who are doing some very radical things in surf tshirt land right now. I urge you, in fact, double-urge you to visit their site if you have a couple of spare minutes. And if you have more than a few minutes, why not treat yourself to another serve of Point Break goodness (you can purchase the Point Break (Pure Adrenaline Edition)

Hey Corey. Thanks for dropping us a line. Yep, this awesome Bodhi tee is only available at the US based store Thalia Surf. I was lucky enough to score myself one of these tees a few weeks ago and have been wearing it to death. It gets a lot of attention in public, that’s for sure (one dude even started on a ‘Jesus loves you’ rant after he read the R.I.P. bit). Awesome tee design, I must say, great quality too…
