Sparky the sharky...

This morning I was hunting down a few fun little sliders in the corner at Tallows but I wasn't the only one doing some hunting as I had a strange shadow just like this one swim under my board several times super creepy. The ocean was truly alive, there was a massive bait ball being hammered by all types of marine life just south of the cape. I guess thats what this guy was after.

Derek Hynd


I have had the pleasure over the last week to surf with and watch Derek slip and slide his finless boards through the line up at the pass.  Its unbelievable how much control he has dodging and weaving through the crowd whilst doing numerous 360's. He's truly amazing to watch. Image from Liquid salt magazine.

ALB


The recent ALB magazine hit the shelves last week and Sage, Jack and myself have all featured in it. Much to my surprise I made the front cover, the poster and a full page spread in the back of the magazine. The image's are from Dane Peterson, Tom Woods and Mark Onorati. Go check it out.

Black Knight

This is the second clip for the Waves Black Knight free surfing awards that Harry Triglone has used his magic to make my surfing look half decent. Dad filmed this footage while I was in Hawaii in November last year. If you head to wavesmag.com and give me a vote I will love you forever. I would leave you a link to get there but my computer prowess is seriously outdated.

Trim.

Growing up all I wanted was to do the biggest most radical turns I could do and the thought of not moving and simply just trimming across a wave bored the absolute shit out of me. Now days it's probably one of my favourite surf time's. I love the free feeling that you get from a 8'9 Alaia, no fins, no drag just trim. The speed is like no other I reckon it the fastest I have ever been on a wave in a straight line.
This is a DP pic...epic.

Inspector Vector.

A little while ago now Sage gave me this Vector to try out. It was the one that was in Ho'okupu in Byron Bay. It's epic, I love the feeling of the crazy lines this board allows you to draw. It's probably the most fun I've ever had on a wave going in a straight line... with the odd 360.
