I just logged onto youtube to check out my old account, with a view to upload the new BST07 DVD I made and found that a scene from the DVD I made last year, WST06 had a little nomination in the California Coastal Views Film Festival. I didn’t win, but was kinda stoked to get…

Bali baby…
So Sulli has added a little entry on his blog about our surf trip to Bali, sweet man, the pics look great, shame you got a few typos! Check it all out here! By the way mate, nicked a pic, just to big you up, this is where he got his ‘wave of his life’,…
Surfing at Nagigia Island Resort, Kadavu, Fiji
So I was thinking back to when I was over in Fiji with the dominator crew this morning, so I gazed over to www.fijisurf.com to check out the photos Jason had taken from the boat in the channel and saw this one. It immediately threw me back to King Kong Left. This picture was taken…
Return of the HB…
So it would seem that going around the World for 4 or so months, chasing waves and women would increase your popularity with clients when you get back home. I say that, as I have been pretty much inundated with requests to spread the Hungry Browser web dev love since I have been back! Looks…
Keep it old school…
Found a nifty little site yesterday in my hungover state, I think I have seen it before, but not actually said anything. A site called archive.org, simply type in the address of a site you want to check out, and then, if listed, you can check out all the previous versions of that site. Kinda…
What’s on the menu? Tow-in surf, Hong Kong style!
In the words of the Sulli, “roll over Laird, Sully’s coming through, get off my set Hamilton, I’ll drop in on the little b*stard”. You have to admire Sully’s vision on this one, just watch out for XXL Pro next year, Brad Gerlack, man, Sully is after your crown man! Peace!
To be busy in the fizzy one may get dizzy!
Nuff said! In the word’s of Tommy Sim (Junior), the younger (younger Sim) loves to cream it to the max!!!
So why surfing?
So many people have asked me over the past few years ‘Why do you surf?’, and ‘What is it that you like about it so much?’, so I thought I would write a few words that describe the way I feel about surfing. For me, surfing started out like many other interests, you see someone…
Back to normality…
Arrived back in the UK 2 days ago after being away for over 4 months. I was greeted by a sunny, hot evening at Heathrow, which certainly makes a change from the normal weather we have. Unfortunately I managed to pick up a hefty dose of jet-lag on my trip back, characterised by me not…
Home time…
39,000 feet above sea-level, I am aboard a flight back from Miami to DC. Been down in Miami for the past 2 days checking out the scene and getting a little top up to my tan before I head home to the characteristically shit weather in good old Blighty! Miami was hot, humid and funky…
