I surfed today..

and it was sooo good...

Finless days..

I've been fortunate enough to be able to give a Derek Hynd shaped finless board a good workout over the last few weeks (thanks Mick).. so much fun, very, very addictive..

Pommie the mad bastard kneeboarder giving it a good thrashing at Tiber today

swell

been some crazy swell the last few days, some places getting it better than others.. been lucky to get a couple of days of primo right handers with only having to share it with a few good friends.. it helped to wash away the shit that flooded my world in the last few weeks..

..

The only thing you can truly control in life is how you react to a situation..

Death takes us all..

RIP Brother

Been sick..

Running..

There is over 20 kms of tracks crisscrossing the national park outside my front door with over 11 surf checks strategically placed along the way.. what the wind/swell is doing will dictate which direction I'll head on my morning run.. lifes good..

Warturd Cup..

The beer has been brought, babysitter trucked in, hope the rain eases up cause we're ready to party

Fresh fruit for rotten vegetables

apart from the HP longboarding (which I can never get my bearded head around.. ride a shortboard if you want do a superman airwalk you dickhead.. ) this is a fine film, of course it was always going to get my vote as it contains a grand mini-simmons section.. two thumbs up..

Today, today..

Alaia 2..

Woodworking.. pulled the tail in on this one to see.. to see..

Alaia 1..

Yesterday...

Tiber st..

The reefs today..

The left..

The right..

surfed the right, 6 to 8 ft, not another soul out.. 120 meters from where I sleep at night.. paradise

Shark..

I have finally managed to watch "sharkwater" (it always takes a while for me to grow the balls to watch anything that concerns sharks.. ignorance is bliss..) Now I plead with you all, please view it.. cause its a fine, fine movie..
Oh and also the above pic was stolen from the bang bang club blog, the pic just brought a grin to my face that is only surpassed by this pic from the mighty eff at monsterboards.org

lullaby..

Ever since I hit the ground running from home in my early teens I've always seem to have had a abode were I could fall asleep at night to the sound of a babbling creek or the roar of the ocean intersped with the occasional foray into the sweet sounds of the inner city.. for the last two months I've been holed up in suburbia with the sounds of bored youth doing burnouts and the hum and crackle of overhead powerlines being my bedtime music, tomorrow that all changes, a new home awaits, next to the beach, the sound of lapping waves to escort me to dreamtime..

House..

Track to beach..

Beach.. sorted.

Mr McBride

This fine gentleman turns up at longboard contest's and repeatedly smokes every ones arses on heavily glassed single fins, In my reasoning he and Moonbob (and maybe Trent Ellis)are the preeminent longboarders from the land of the white cloud...grand artists too..

surf bliss..

this little clip has been around for a while but I just love playing it when I'm uptight or down cause it just straight away puts me in that happy place I get into after a fine avro glass off sesh on a heavily glassed single fin long board in waist high waves

Blatting..

Nothing beats hauling arse on a chopper with a couple of mates.. maybe bombing hills on your deck, rolling in a pack 10 deep.. memories of Queen St 3 30 in the morning in '89

smooth

Rob and left handers is there no finer eye candy..
