Sucked in.

Hawaii Life has sucked me in.
The lifestyle of eat,sleep,surf is just too good and I apologise for the lack of posts.
I have just been having far too much fun.
We have been getting amazing waves,all the boys are surfing soooo good.
Here are 2 shots taken by Maurice Aubuchon at OTW in the last few weeks,you can expect some more coming up soon!

Bombastic.

Cant stop THE ROCK.

WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO is all I can say about our first week on the rock,been swell everyday,peachy conditions,good riding and good times.
The Saffa crew is strong for so early in the season and the guys im bumping elbows with in the packed lineups are Sacha Specker, Brandon Foster, Mark Watts, Charles Pass, Ryan Janssens and Wes Liquorish.
Life is good.

Here is a bit of action from the past few days.

That time of the year.

Going to Hawaii on monday,here are some snaps from the last week or so.
The wave pictured was pre sesh at a south coast bombie on tuesday,I can confirm you will get to see yours truly taking it on(the head haha,not really) in 2 different magazines in the next few weeks.
Good times all round.


Bombdizzle.


The people supporting me in Hawaii this year,this may change by the end of the season who knows?


Snakes at work,I really enjoyed the last week I spent here,working with my best mate Josh and taking in the sweet surroundings.


BOEREWORS!first time the stuff has graced my lips since leaving SA in June.It could be comparable to you know what....

Health and Prosperity.

Take me back 2 months and Im in Bali living a debaucherous no worries,free living,free drinking,free eating,free surfing lifestyle.
Take me back 2 months and im blowing sections left right and centre,not making waves,feeling weak,un-controlled and unfit.

Take me back to my first month in Australia, Joe Clark is all over the media and is blowing up,'what the heck?' , 'since when did he get so good?'

Take me back to late september, Riptide issue 172, Joe speaks of his new found steez and the reasons for it, a revelation of professionalism and healthy living,core strength and fluidity.
Take me back to now.

I've been extremely inspired of late,to be the best I can be and be in the best possible shape.
Eating well makes me feel good and gives me more energy,whilst excersizing and training is making me into the best bodyboarder I can be, and I think the proof of this is starting to show,just like Joe's did in the early stages, with my recent performance in QLD.

With Hawaii fast approaching and my routine gaining momentum, I am getting really excited as to what I will be able to accomplish this season.

MEGA UPDATE.

I have been Idle with blogging for awhile,Il post some pictures and provide explanations for them and hopefully they will be like pieces in a puzzle and you will all get your froth on

Ok,so on the 6th of MOVEMBER,Glen Sullivan,Myles Bushel and yours truly packed the car and left the shire for the QLD,the sunshine state.The weather was absolutely terrible and at times I was actually a litle worried.
It was a good trip and we stopped off at the dunes factory for sully to get a snakeskin suit(sies) and then on too the Turbo Factoy in port Mac.We headed out at breakwall and man you can see just why Port has bred such amazing Bodyboarders,the wave is a skatepark.We finally rolled in to QLD at 11pm and I was swiftly whisked off to Surfers paradise for a fun night out before the comp started and things got serious.


This was the 2nd best heat I have ever surfed and I will never forget it,coming out the water to applause and camera's is something I have never experienced before and I really felt amazing,even if it sounds gay to admit,one of my greatest achievements for sure!


The contest site at Duranbah beach which is funnily enough technically in NSW,a super rampy and bowly wave and the water was suuuuper warm.
The event was sooo well organised with live scoring and brand expo's,I loved it and hope to see SABA reach these heights soon!
On the far side of that second breakwall is a wave known as end wedge which is where I spent most of my time free surfing,so fun!


Arriving home on sunday evening suuper late we saw we were in for a bit of swell,after two days of not quite days at the reefs and some biiiig beachy sessions,this was what greeted us at dawn on wednesday.Somewhere you wish you were.


This was easily one of the funnest sessions I have had in awhile,heavy Left barrels,Sully and Myself out,A photog and a videographer at our disposal,you couldnt get us down,barrel after barrel,BEATING after beating,all smiles!
