Sorry mate. Just don't have 7 minutes to spare.

Love your attempted wit though.

I'm in Byron on Thursday / Friday this week if you wanna catch up for some waves.

G'day Teatrea
I surfed Burleigh on the short board over the weekend. Yep looking forward to getting my SUP in some decent waves usually anything over 3ft on the Goldie I'll ride the short board. But I'll be in Fiji for 10 weeks on Namotu Island & I'll be taking my 8'6'' SUP this time I was there last year for 5 weeks only took half dozen boards from 6'10 to 8'2'' had it pumping 3-8ft even got Cloud Break at 5ft
So I'll be making anotherr B Grade SUP movie called Magic Paddle.

For the best-greatest FIJIAN holiday click onto www.namotuislandfiji.com/ & escape to your Namotu atoll oasis. It's the ultimate in 5 star resort accommodation catering for your every saltwater need. Whether you want to hang on top of the water for surf or dive deep underneath with a spear, maybe get dragged along by the wind kite boarding - wind surfing or even a paddle down wind, fishing will blow your mind (tight lines) I had many of rapalas destroyed (that would make you cry). & island hoping is a must in the afternoon. The food will fill a 400 pound mans appetite with sashimi for appetizers every evening + I guarantee you will drink around 15 stubbies of Fiji Bitter every night & the kava bowl is always (high tide). When the sun goes down the activities begin $5-$10 US entry fee is the standard rate bet = $300 US up for grabs per game, LCR is the ultimate crowd pleaser followed by Kelly pool, table tennis or crab racing. & then there's karaoke for the brave just don't give me the mike I sing like Jed Clampett from the hillbillies (embarrassing)

Besides being a tad envious of your 10 week trip (i had a few weeks there in 2002) the obvious question is how..............

Enjoy!

Yep Ted the Kiwi
I worked afternoon shift for like 25 years so I could surf every day surfing always came first got some unreal fond memories. I lifeguard now because I hate working hard & the job makes you train I train around 15-20 hours a week but the hardest thing about lifeguarding is when the surfs pumping you can only watch it

Thanks Downwinder that is some of the best footage I have ever seen. Some of those lefts he got on his backhand were just amazing pits. That boy can surf.

"My Eyes Won't Dry" part 1 is one of my favorite movies as well as part 2. He is making part 3 now and I think he got some sick footage from the south swell that hit Chopes and then went on to hit us on the Oahu south shore. I think these movies helped me to get some tuberiding down because I could picture see the waves as they tube from the inside so you know how it will look when you get yourself into that position on the wave and you don't chicken out.
