skill

"one thing about the ancient boards is that they are difficult to ride...and at first I was like "Oh god they are so hard to ride" but maybe there is something ok with being difficult... and then I looked at all the modern boards and all the modern boards are about making surfing easier and um I thought whats wrong with having a board that's really difficult to ride.. that just riding it across the wave shows alot of skill... um that is kind of falling off in surfing I think is the skill level"
Tom Wegener, Seaworthy

The cove

just flogged this from Malcolm Johnson...

Into the shire

Headed to the old stomping grounds to score a wave at the pass... scored some nice little peelers but wishing I'd humped the log over... dialer performing as it should... just would of preferred some little nose rides..

No trip into Northern NSW is complete without a vist to mighty Humble Pie shop..



I've always got to rock the thai chicken...

point breaks

After three years of mainly surfing horrible little close out beach breaks my soul has been set free in the land of right hand point breaks....its nice to finaly get to unwrap some more of the speed dialers secrets on some long walls...

Roaming

Up in SE Qld at the mo... moving around abit so only rolling with two boards... It was a hard choice but I thought the speed dialer and the 6'3" pintail should cover the bases.... time will tell... miss my log already....

A fine man

out of NZ, just desperate for some quality waves, but sad to leave behind some good friends... quint and hamish you are last of the good guys, surf on brothers

I'm a wizard now

H street

I must of watched this video at least a billon times... the ollie over the fire hydrant and the 180 nose grinds down the hand rail just blew our poor little kiwi minds... the soundtrack still stands the test of time..

I stole this image from someones blog... I can't remember who's cause I may have been drunk at the time... sorry

goodtimes

when I was 13 and watching dubbed vhs surf vids on mums 14 inch TV, trying to figure out what was going on behind the lines and crackle, hitting the pause button rapidly to suss out moves, I dreamed of this day....The boys, some beers, a couple of surf flicks and a DVD projector flogged from work....paradise

By the way Mick Water's Believe is fuckn grand

speed dialer 3

Grim day,the progress on speed dialer deuce has yet again come to a grinding halt, I'll post a rant when I'm thinking straight

Rad

This is beyond fucking rad

style

had a pretty good sesh up at the bay today overhead plus rolling into insane deathpit close out barrels in a foot of water on the inside, super fun, couldn't get the grin off my face no matter how many times I got body slammed on the inside, the pin tail just smoking... the complete absence of longboarders was duly noted... which got me thinking, if you will only surf when its shoulder height and lower, please don't just stand there with a style like a constipated gorilla, those waves have travelled thousands of miles to reach you please don't let them die for nothing, try and embrace the wonderful dance that is surfing a nine ft plus board in waist high waves... here's a little inspiration

speed dialer 2

just had a half inch kauri stringer glued in...
