Hope he recovers okay......seems best to avoid motorcycles/scooters in bali
Dunno whether he sups but he is a surf legend (and comes from giz of course)

Here's one of his best riders - KONG.
It shows his quiver at 1 minute mark.
Best wishes for a full recovery.

Yeah all the best Al. A mate put up a recent pic of Al taking on a massive peak in Hawaii on his 60th birthday the man is a legend and charges harder than most half his age.

Nicest guy. You see pics of him on huge perfect waves but he's still keen to get out on the beachies at Tugun when it's small and northerly. Real happy to have a chat too. All our best mate!

Yep sad day. Hope the universe is just PUMPING with nice clean dry Lefthand Barrels for you up there AB ya Legend, just don't drop in on Novercastrian Legend Col Smith. The two of you had the best Channel Bottoms Surfboards on the Planet.

Funny I had an in depth conversation with AB at Matt's funeral Burleigh Heads just before I went to Maui - Life is short enjoy every minute - Like I just left the skin specialist today I look like Frankenstein, got a lot of stitches across the face from getting a Melanoma stage 2 cut out, from too much fun in the sun.
