Just heading on the road now for cyclops, boys are pumped and tension is in the air as we know what awaits tomorrow morning...
Hoping it's going to be a survivalble 6-8ft with no bad injuries.
Dreams are coming a reality!
Amen

More waves...
with last minute calls before the weekend, shane niener and i decided to skip the lame crowds of margs and do some adventuring for uncrowded waves, we heading down on saturday lunch time and so was the beginning of our litte escaped!
we rushed down for the susnet shots / timelapses with about 30mins to spare, but only to get the worst susnet ever. to funny. we arrived where we were going to camp out for the night (sleep in a car full of mozzies) and decided to do some star / night shots as no lights and the whole galaxy above was so amazing! unfortunately only had my 70 - 200mm so would prove quite difficult indeed. after about trying to work out some settings in pitch black darkness and about 20mins later was about to give up when shane noticed i still had my lens cap on, rookie of note! haha to funny. oh well still not much came out and shane got some good shots with his wider lenses!
the next day we missioned around and all day was just perfect madness breaking all over the show, wow! with most these spots you need a ski to get to them as they are outer bombies or you cant get to them cause of the rocks without swimming a whole bays length, not a good idea in those shark filled waters..
we arrived back at midnight last night after a long fruitful day and the pics and watching the waves was just amazing enough! scored some sick wedge just the two of us and missed the sickest sunset yesterday...oh well, win some lose some!
enjoy

Margs Weekend
Just met up with Wade and Jake on Saturday morning just gone, at 6am we hit the road down to Margs for a weekend of good fun!
we rocked upto some pretty good solid firing box with a bunch of kook surfers out. Amaray was out before out and even the bombs he was taking off on the surfers were burning him...so ja he didnt stay out long.
First time paddled box and got some nuggets none the less, some inside deep bombs with good 4 - 6ft... was pretty stoked with much time out the water was loving the sesh with a nice air forward out the bowl, solid backflip and huge roll into the flats that almost knocked my arm out my socket...felt good to be back in action! Wade H, got some bombs on the DK and was killing it out there. Our friend Jake was getting cleaned up on the inside with constant bad luck, to funny and good times....
chilled at Pia and Phillipa's camper home for the night and ended up scoring some super good fun Cobbles the next morning for the whole day. Had heaps of good fun waves and super shallow flat reef but with some nice boost sections if you feel brave enough.
Met some booger kids out there that were at Box the day before getting some inside ones, super cool kid about maybe 10 - 12 years of age called Lachia that has super good potential and from Trigg area.
We all got some super fun waves throughout the day, was pretty stoked with a solid ARS and massive backflip out the bowl in less then knee deep reef....starting to feel alive and more pumped then ever to push on hard now!!
Back in Perth now and was only a weekend trip, good fun and so much surfing and absolutely smashed. This week is pretty chilled and not much swell. Going to be working on the GoPro housing, Matts old housing fixing the leak, hopefully my Canon 7D arrives and my wettie from Reeflex should be coming through tomorrow or wednesday.
PUMPED!
