While there was most likely some epic surfing to be had last night, I took the opportunity to shoot out in the boat and see if i could grab some tuna. Alas no fish at all, but it was one of the stillest nights i can remember being on the water in Taranaki ever, and so beautiful out there! Ran into an amazing pod of dolphins on the way out and managed to catch some…
Continue readingJS Surfboards JS Surfboards is the brain child of Jason Stevenson – another banana bending Aussie from Queensland. Jason build this business up himself and quickly attracted some of the best surfers in the work such as Parko and Occy. He has been shaping boards since he was in nappies (or just about) and in the last couple of years Jason’s designs have proven themselves to be among the best in the world. Jason grew up…
Continue readingWith light North West forecast again for tomorrow, it looks like it’s back to back beach again! Just sitting down at the beach now there’s a solid 3 foot swell running and the wind is about 3 kn Cross shore and there is probably about six people out there and 1000 bluebottles! Yes those annoying Aussies are back… But apparently out the back is okay, they are playing like on the beach, where a wet…
Continue readingQuite a strong Northerly blowing today and managed to find some shelter and some barrels at back beach. Its always hard to try and fit a 9′ stand up paddle board into a 5 ft face, but it didn’t stop me giving a crack! In the photo above my paddle is probably the only part of me in the barrel, but still claimed it with a double fist pump!:| Actually when i pulled into the…

During a recent 4 day camping mission to a secret surf spot, (to protect it, lets just call it: Bailey Road, Pungarehu, Taranaki – google it!), I had the most truly epic four days of surfing of…

Witness the greatest river bore tubes ever surfed.
Continue readingI’ve never understood what the fascination is with running. Since the invention of the automobile in the late 1800s it’s always boggled my mind why people would run anywhere when there’s a perfectly good car take them wherever they want to go. While attending a half marathon in Kerikeri north of Auckland to support my brother-in-law I saw one of the strangest things I’ve ever seen. It was your typical New Zealand day with sun,…
Continue readingThis day at Teahupoo- Aug 27th 2011 during the Billabong Pro waiting period is what many are calling the biggest and gnarliest Teahupoo ever ridden. Chris Bryan was fortunate enough to be there working for Billabong on a day that will go down in the history of big wave surfing. The French Navy labeled this day a double code red prohibiting and threatening to arrest anyone that entered the water. Kelly Slater described the day…
