Not every young bloke going to schoolies is going to be a tool.
However you have to show respect to the local people, if that can be done then schoolies over there will be a hoot

Didnt manage to surf dreamland, it looked like a nice rolling wave. I was with shortboarders who complained the wave was too fat, 3 verse 1, i lost out.

As for Ulus, packed beyond belief, the waves weren't breaking all that well either.

Bali trip report: for those who longboard

Started off the trip being met by my 3 shortboard mates at Brisbane International Airport snickering at my weapon of choice: McTavish/Beach beat Jason Blewit pro model. " Thats going to be snapped on the first day" was the common theme. After a short (6hrs i think) flight over we land to see that ai...

Mals and this swell

Anyone out there been tackling this swell with a 9 footer? Was out at Moffats yesterday (sunnycoast) and got some absolute bombs, as well as getting cleaned up with about 6 on the head. Good luck eskimoing those bastards! Ended up snapping the leash with a long swim back in. Good practise for Bali n...

Fireball i understand that, the JB is great in the big stuff, carves well off the shoulder and holds the rail really well. The reason i hardly ride it anymore is due to the sunshine coast not getting anything over really head high which is where the JB excels

Bali and the current travel warning

I've got a trip booked to Bali in August, the recent updated travel warning has me a little phased. Am i just being caught up in the hype of this terror bullshit or are my fears justified. Anyone been there recently, if so how did you find it. In addition, i ride a 9" Mal, am i wrong in thinking tha...

My first board was a McTavish JB performance board made in conjuction with Beach Beat, it was ok, but was only really good for the bigger stuff. In the small waves it would be very unstable and quite hard to properly nose ride. I got a custom 9'4" Classic Malibu Jai Lee noserider and it shits all ov...
