the log

Visiting one of my fav places. Great boards to dream about.

Steve brings out the insane log he's been shaping for me.

It's the sickest board in the world

It's my Christmas gift. Thanks Dad, Mum, Greg, Andrew and Steve.

Banzaii

Had a fun surf the other day at Banzaii, Forries with the boys from Christian surfers. Fun small waves but really powerful with a shallow reef.

Sisters charging

My sisters had a top year surfing this year. Mia claimed first in B grade in her short board club and first in the girls division at Christian Surfers as well as picking up the Christian Surfers encouragement award. Madzi claimed first in C grade and received the encouragement award from her short board club.

cleaning up for the year! not that it's about winning!

Malibu Boardriders

My local longboard club is a lot of fun. We travel up and down the central coast looking for waves each month. After surfing we get stuck into the barbeque (with Waks famous flaming chillie jam). The club runs the Magoo charity longboard event and raises funds for cancer services on the coast.

Great BBQs

Soul Classic

My local short board club runs a very popular Single Fin Soul Classic every year. All soul - no leggies. This year it was held in small but fun waves. Thanks for the lend of your classic board Clarky.

More of visiting Steve O'Donnell from Bennett surfboards

The downside of travelling into and around Sydney is the traffic and all the crowds of people

But sometimes there's interesting sights (people).

Best of all is arriving at Bennetts and checking out the boards.

Crescent Head

The Crescent Head Classic was back in May. It was great fun but there was a major storm one the first night. The wind blew heaps and during the early hours of the morning the tent was blown over a couple of times. We had

great meals at the country club - hugest lamb shanks! Jodie Barsby MC'd the preso - very cool.
