Inspired by Greenie and friends,

Shot it this afternoon in 2ft OG slop at main beach to get the rig sorted out.

Added some local pics Kristi and I have taken so you guys can get an idea of whats in the local area.

LOL I liked the "WOO!!" at 46 sec. The rig seems to work pretty well.

Thats a pretty nice looking Nikon you've got there. Do you use a housing for it? It must be huge.

Kristi and I shoot a lot of pics for our friends around Grove. I also do some commercial work from time to time.

We gave Rich at Strapper 1000 pics from the Vicco Sup Titles.

I do packages for people that actually want photos of themselves to show thier friends or something hot for the office wall.

We do video coaching with headzone helmets to help train the kids and improve technique, so we talk to them and video them at the same time.

Also cover in water and under water video and photography in the spare time.



But most of all we loooooove SUP

Thanks Greenie,

Well when i get the 10'6 wide, I will have all the incentive required to do a few more vids, especially with the better waves on the march in winter.

We get a little excited on the waves down here so your gonna get a bit of hooting and hollering on the sound track.

Who would have thought it, surfing FUN what happened to surf rage????

Hey Casso,
That got a laugh, and coffee came out of my nose. Bugger

Couldnt you see the huge power of main beach the lip fluttering the deep pit and the bit where I almost got shacked???? Opps other SD card.

I converted the 11 to a thruster just for fun and it makes a huge difference again.

Maybe I should be on the Big Kahoona R & D? team???

Rody,

In Jan 2008 I had a back injury at work and lost all sensation in my left leg up to the hip and right leg up to my knee. I had an spinal recompression in April 2008 and started rehab walking up to 6km per day. In Nov 2008 I started to SUP on a serious level paddling on flat water for rehab to increase core strenght.

I cant prone surf anymore or I pay for it for almost a fortnight with severe back pain. Supping has allowed me to take off 17kgs become fitter than I have been in 20 years and I have a rediculous smile all the time.

The local surfers around here brought me books and dvds, looked after my family, challenged me to keep going when I just wanted to take the big kick out some days. They love taking the piss out of me every time I'm out just coz they can. I bleive I am known as the SWEEPER lol.

20 mins in the water with a group of mates just shooting the breeze is very valuable to me. If I get some great waves it a major bonus.

Days like 2 Saturdays ago at Urqharts in overhead clean surf was a dream to me 12mths ago when I couldnt walk!!!!!

Blanes boards have shown me that even Big Kahoonas can have a performance board that rips and that has really broadened the smile again.

Whats not to be stoked about????????

Hey Brooko,

Great to hear you had fun

Went out at 5 and just got back. We had chest high peelers in the kiddy pool just great fun waves.

I got dropped in on by a short skirter, she cleaned me up bigtime and i lost my deep 300 surf watch in the aftermath [}:)] the pin in the band must have dropped out. I knew i sharpened the edges of the methane for a reason.

One more sleep until the 10'6" wide is in my hot little hands

There had better be waves on the weekend or I will have to buy some c4 lol

Stay safe, have fun hope to catch up soon.

Phill
