The first ever Australian Open of Surfing went down last week at Sydney’s infamous Manly beach. Lets be honest, the huge set up didn’t do much to hide the size of the surf. The start of the event traveled well in 3ft surf. Come the Open mens, it was more around the 1ft range. Although [...]

Well, the boys have started off with a bang in 2012. Billy has won his NZ National title number 2 in small waves at Piha over the weekend. And proving I am aging like a fine wine, I have won the Senior mens division. In similar performances in both division finals Billy scored 17.10 to [...]
Well another year bites the dust. Another year older or, as some might say, another year wiser. It came with a whole mixed bag of things happening in my life. Weddings, funerals, NZ winning the World Cup, results on tour and the birth of my first child. It was a really good year on the [...]
So as the season winds down to the final leg in Hawaii we can look back with some satisfaction over a year of solid results. Billy and Rick are in Hawaii right now waiting on a start in the first event at Hale’iwa on Oahu’s North Shore. I sit and wait for something different all [...]
So another day passes us by on Kangaroo Island. And it is yet another lay day. The swell has just been sliding past us with too much Westerly direction in it to wrap into Vivonne Bay. We took the 20 minute drive early this morning dodging and weaving the Kangaroos, Wallabies and Birds that hug [...]
Santa Cruz, California. Mainly known for its big waves, cold water, seals, whales and big sharks. Well, today we seem to have experienced something that is a regular happening too. Car crashes. As Tom and Billy went on ahead, Richard and I decided a quick detour to Starbucks would be in order. Little did we [...]
Inthe last week I have surfed my way into 3rd place at the Billabong Azores Island Pro. Being a Prime event it has put me in 49th in the world. As has been the usual at Prime events this year, the kiwi boys ended up having to go at each other before the business end [...]
Here we are back in the Azores. Although, we are minus Billy after he tweaked his knee in Pantin. Last year we came to this event, surfed once and then proceeded to wait for a whole week for waves that simply did not arrive. Already on the first morning we have been greeted with 2-3ft [...]
Check out some photos from a storm that poured in over the mountains here in Zarautz. It has given us some entertainment as the surf is not coming to the party with two lay days already forced due to literally dead flat conditions! Enjoy…
