\"Isaac\"<\/figure>\n

Some of you may recognise John Issac from this scandalous shot taken this weekend at the Bellyboard World Championships <\/a>at Cornwall’s Chapel Porth beach. John is a legendary Cornubian classicist. He is a lover of old cars, old surfboards, and old woollen trunks and cups of tea.<\/p>\n

John appeared in Influx issue 3<\/a>, talking about his classic ’32 Ford Roadster Hot Rod.<\/p>\n

As you can see, John has off-hired the iconic Hot Rod in favour of a Morris Traveller, which, in its wood-clad tradition, carries even more surf-culture cred than the ‘Rod.<\/p>\n

There’s something about dyed-in-the-wool (geddit) classicist that ingeniously makes icons out of the everyday flotsam of yesteryear and applies them to the here-and-now. John’s obsession for all things tweedy, incongruous yet beautiful is a joy to behold. The man even goes fishing bedecked in tweed and cane.<\/p>\n

If you should find yourself down Newquay way for a bit of Indian Summer fun, you could do worse than pop in see John and company for tea, cake and inspiration in his temple of material culture, Revolver.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Shayne at The Tea Appreciation Society for supplying the pic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
