Seaworthy by Nathan Oldfield

January 1st, 2012

Just watched Seaworthy, a surf movie by independent film maker, Nathan Oldfield. Beautifully shot, with a chilled out soundtrack and a moving story as the centrepiece for the film. Check out the trailer below!

Thanks Brad for buying this for me for Christmas.

It’s for charity mate

Mr. Pig

I’ve just (nearly) finished reading this. A book that was given to me by some friends (thanks Mike and Renee) whilst I was hanging out and surfing in San Clemente, USA. The book is all about thoughts/reflections on spirituality. When I first picked it up I was a little bit sceptical, but with an open mind I started to read through it.

Now I’m not going to suddenly run off and join a church or announce my undying love for god. But the book does examine some interesting topics. Anyway, the outcome is that I thought I would start dropping a few pennies each day into Mr. Pig (just small change etc.). The idea being that when he is full I empty him and give whatever is inside to charities/causes I support.

Anyway, I’m not going to get all self-richeous and start preaching, but if anyone reads this and decides it might ebe a nice thing to help people less fortunate than themselves, then that is a good thing.

Pass on the stoke.
