Awareness raising

I know when you log onto people's blogs and they tell you to do something or check something out, it almost makes you not want to do that. It's like when your mum or dad told you not to do something when you were young, "screw you i'll do it anyway!" 

Well today you're young again and today is opposite day, and by that I mean it's not opposite day ;) got me?

DON'T CHECK THIS BLOG OUT: the-roast.blogspot.com

It's not very funny.

It doesn't have frequent updates or dope unseen photos.

It's not put together by guys I used to hang with at Boxy.

It's not going to have an epic interview of me on there in a few weeks.

Una mejor suerte el próximo año, hombre...

Two days ago I would've been on a plane en route to Chile then Peru for the World Tour Comps, but instead i'm sitting in Margaret River. Neg.

It helps to not think about it or focus on it, but I can't help but wish I was there with everyone else, surfing in the comps...

Seeing as though I can't be there, I'm hoping an Aussie wins - preferably Hardy! It's time for him to bring back the title to Australia!

Let's hope we see some more of this!

The cut

I have been editing my self-proclaimed "best of" clip over the last few days... It's basically all the footage I have acquired over the years from people such as the Waldron Bros, Ryan Keats and myself as I own a camera these days.

A fair bit of it will be "unseen" so to speak, so get your froth beard on haha.. nah but in all seriousness at the end of the day it's just a bit of fun for me, and I enjoy editing. Coming Zoon!

Here's a grab...of "unseen" footage...

This is getting hard

Not being able to surf is taking its toll on my sanity. The fact that the surf is actually good is making it even harder. Enough whinging. Time to reminisce...

This time last year dan (clawz), West (teeth) and myself (gumz? haha) stayed at my Mum's house for a month travelling down the coast when the waves were on....they didn't really turn on much. So when I had the chance to surf this spot - a place I grew up surfing, Dan and West didn't really believe we could score a wave on footage from there (predominately a barrel type of wave and pretty damn far out). We were stoked to say the least when I caught this wave...

air...

Until I get back in the water i'm working on a 'best of' clip to post up here...stay tuned!

Post-operative therapy

Made it alive out of surgery. Made it alive to the eastcoast. Time to make it alive out of this week of 21st celebration drinking.

Turning 21 defenitely isn't a high point for me. The pressure to take on "responsibilty" and live a "sensible" life isn't something I wish to subscribe to just yet. But if I've learnt anything lately; you can't change or control what the future holds. I had so many plans, then I injured my arm - sending them to shit...that's life. How many times have you heard that? It still renders truthful. Deal with it and overcome it.



I'm gonna enjoy some time out of the water and be thankful my injury wasn't worse.

This dolphin has endured some tough times - wonder if he cares enough to blog about it!
