Guys its been busy times I was in Hawaii for two weeks for the pipe contest. The waves were really good for the first two days of the event. The Aussie guys
were definatley the standouts in the solid conditions. Guys like Jake Stone, Toby Player, Dallas Singer and CHRIS WIL
SON cruised through the first two days
clocking up more tube time in heats than you do in seasons of free surfing.

The Final day came the waves 4 to 6 feet shifty some heats better than others
I got knocked out by Uri in the last couple of minutes of our heat but that is competition.

Again the Auzzie guys were in fine for Rawlins Hardy Winchester and the Players. Looked like with a bit of luck the title was anyones in the end It was between Hardy and Winny of the Oz guys Winny seemed to use all his waves up in and awesome semi final and just never got going in the final. It was Hardy's day in the end really good to see him back up the top and on the list of PIPE CHAMPS well done mate.

From there it was a rush we bailed back to Sydney for one of our close friends (Phill Gallagher) and his Now wife Cara Gallagher. The wedding was up near Coffs Harbour. It was a great couple of days fun was had by all maybe a little too much by Ben Williams who was dacked fell over an essky onto a seated Grandma and was left face down on the grass with his lolly bag hanging out the back. Other than the boys no one was too impressed.

Well back at home in WA now just getting ready for some waves here and then of to the Gold coast for the Ozzy Tour contest. I've been working with HB on the new Boards
for 09 and things are coming along very nice so stay tuned to this space for more info.

Well here is my Blog ladys and gentlemen.

It's summer as all you would know by the sweltering heat but it has been a different summer this year.There has been plenty of sharks and plenty of swell and good waves.
I have just been getting ready for the pipe comp and have been traveling up and down the coast like a yo yo to some both old and new waves.

I have some shots here of a trip we did down far south with Mitch Rawlins, Whity and Brendon Backshawl. Didnt take any of the surf cause it was 4ft and perfect wedges so I just surfed all day but whity got a few nice ones I will try to get my hands on.
Since then I have been working on some stuff for movement magazine with Alex Turoy. Should be on the shelves soon so check that out and see just how freakish this summer has been.

Well picking winny and Toinz up from the airport tonight to chase a few waves on thursday friday so stay tuned to see where I'm at what I'm upto and who I'm with.
