I just logged onto youtube to check out my old account, with a view to upload the new BST07 DVD I made and found that a scene from the DVD I made last year, WST06 had a little nomination in the California Coastal Views Film Festival. I didn’t win, but was kinda stoked to get a mention. Maybe BST07 will get a little more attention, website and videos coming soon!

So Sulli has added a little entry on his blog about our surf trip to Bali, sweet man, the pics look great, shame you got a few typos! Check it all out here! By the way mate, nicked a pic, just to big you up, this is where he got his ‘wave of his life’, sweet bro, keep it up!

So I was thinking back to when I was over in Fiji with the dominator crew this morning, so I gazed over to www.fijisurf.com to check out the photos Jason had taken from the boat in the channel and saw this one. It immediately threw me back to King Kong Left. This picture was taken by Jason on the first day I was at the resort, I remember having this look of dread on my face when I paddled out, thinking shit, this is mini Teahupoo, most of the other surfers agreed, the only difference between us is that these boys had 5 -10 years worth of surfing experience on top of my modest 3!

Anyway one day I hope to return, maybe to Nagigia, or maybe somewhere new, either way, I will never forget looking at those faces and thinking, shit, I am never gonna make one of them! But I did, maybe not as big as the one in the picture, but I got there!

Peace!

So it would seem that going around the World for 4 or so months, chasing waves and women would increase your popularity with clients when you get back home. I say that, as I have been pretty much inundated with requests to spread the Hungry Browser web dev love since I have been back! Looks like it could be a prosperous summer to fund the next surf trip.

Haven’t had time to do much work on the DVD this week, as it’s been too hectic, but hoping to get it finished and ready to preview to the gang before I head off to Devon in a little under 3 weeks.

Once again, bring on the Devon! I can’t wait to be in the sea again, be it flat, pumping or most likely somewhere in between! It will be the first time I head to the English coast with 3 boards. Am kitted to the max, and that’s all that matters in the long run! Boards, wax, wettie and some gnarly waves and you’re done! Women come and go, but waves man, that is what is it all about, feed the soul, brother!

Sounds funny, but I can’t wait for some winter storms, as I am kitted out with my new Xcel 5mm mits and booties, it’s gonna be toasty when the time comes!

Found a nifty little site yesterday in my hungover state, I think I have seen it before, but not actually said anything. A site called archive.org, simply type in the address of a site you want to check out, and then, if listed, you can check out all the previous versions of that site. Kinda interesting!

A sidepoint as well, the official countdown has begun to Devon: Lee Bay 2006. Beej, P and myself, with the addition of Lukey, will be checking out to check in with the Lee Bay massive once again, 23rd July, it’s all about those summer crowds and knee-high, onshore winds that characterise the summer surf scene, hey, we might even get a wave to ride too!
