The King Is Dead

 

The King of Kirra, the man who defeated the legendary MR in his prime, the star of Albie's "Morning of the Earth", surfing's soul guru is dead. Thanks for the memories, MP.

How good are professional surfers?!

The current crop of men and women on the pro circuit continue to display almost super-human skill. Surfest, at Merewether (Dave's home break) is serving up only very average waves at the moment, but the maneuvers have to be seen to be believed. Check it out here. Bells is soon!

Newcastle's SURFEST now on!

NEWCASTLE, NSW/Australia (Wednesday, March 14, 2012) – Merewether once again played host to an array of the world’s best surfers as the ASP 6-Star Burton Toyota Pro hit the water for the Round of 96, the Round that sees the top seeds enter the draw. The surf was in the 2 to 3 foot (1 – 1.5 meter) range with some nice walls and rippable sections on offer. Check it here

Greenball lights up

Dan, Zef, Chris and Zac all got some beauties at Greenball this morning. Zef "got nailed" before he came in, and there were a few cleanup sets around. Dan thought it was a bit sectiony when he first arrived but was really pleased with the wave quality when he got out there. He's nursing some cuts to his foot from the coral but had an excellent time. Dave didn't even pack a board so he wasn't tempted to re-injure his healing rib!

New wetsuit and boardies...

Sounds interesting here

While cold and wet in Taiwan,.....Bali was different!

While it was cold and wet in Taiwan for the majority of the week...........

Big Gazza scored some pumping sessions in Bali over the break. Serangan had good surf every day with some days really amped up. He grabbed the camera to take a few shots after one session (above) and reports that his old body just managed to hold together throughout!

Nan Ao t of this world!

WOW! What a day. Dan drove Zef, Dave and Simon down to Nan Ao after an early morning start at 4.45. We were in the water at 7 and it was stellar. Powerful walls, crumbling takeoff before a steep drive into the bank and the best waves screamed down the line to ease out on the shoreline 100 metres away from the take off zone. Everyone had at least two sessions, wringing the most from the day. Dan was ripping on his Chili shortboard, Zef was showing surfing maturity beyond his years (and courage!) and Simon and Dave each got a slew of beauties to put in the memory bank. Dave appears to have injured a rib or two, injury occurring on the very first wave of the day... Update: just back from hospital, one fracture, no displacement, lot of muscle tear, but should "recover quickly"...righto Doc, I'll hold you to that!
