Hmm backhand on small waves isn't really a favourite of mine, being a bigger bloke I find myself either doing backside 360's, chop hops and floaters, doing proper turns is kinda hard and feel more like wiggles and if I do heave it around you lose so much speed. When it gets bigger and you can come h...

No worries, everytime I go in there for a coffee I end up getting caught up in a long chat with one of the brothers who owns the joint.

Ha ha ha easy to do i reckon, been saving a fair bit of money not drinking and been spending it on more productive things. I hear ya about the cyclists though, they are everywhere and act like complete tossers all the time. The most hilarious is the rollerbladers in their full length lycra that burn...

As much as I would like to move down to one of the coasts it's really not an option, work commitments just wouldn't allow it, all my meetings happen in the city and surrounds and the commute just isn't worth it. Living in Elwood at the moment so its pretty central to everything and there is a "lovel...

Yeah life is a funny thing, having been born in Mona Hospital and living in Newport all my life I thought I might need a change of scenery lest I become one of those gnarled old fellas at the arms talking bout the good old days without ever really having been anywhere else.

Living and working in Melbourne has been a huge change, the surf used to be less than 5 mins from me now its an hour and it's f##king ten degrees in the water. To be honest I have had some really good surfs down here, Phillip Island being on...

Y not try looking into the SAS, seems they do all the kinds of things u want to do with the added bonus of killing ppl, apparently nuthin else compares to that in terms of emotional impact, if in fact its more inner demons ur interested in wrestling with.
