Melbourne, stopping for lunch in Torquay. A totally sick surf spot and
the HQ for rip-curl which was the reason for my visit. That will be
explained in my next vid, but while there I ... Read more >

I say highs and lows, the only low was our friend Gibbo
(pro-snowboarder and former x games legend!) not managing to catch any
fish. The rest has been sick to the power of rad!
Other friends of Sam's that came to visit us included Jesse &... Read more >

Hello! After almost five weeks on the road, we successfully made it to Sydney! Most of the places we visited up until this point were chilled out coastal towns, so it was a bit of a shock to arrive in Sydney during peak hour to see so many cars ... Read more >

Winter had
come. It had been two weeks since the WCT road show had rolled out of town,
shaking its head at the travesty of a Brazilian small wave specialist running

Hello hello. This
is Carly. Kirsty mentioned in the
last blog that Port Stephens is an ‘area’, but it was decided on our final
night there that a more appropriate word is ‘destination,' We had a fantastic time.

We arrived at the Yamba YHA late at night and got the tour of the "mansion" before bed. You could hardly classify this hostel as a backpackers, as it is fully equipped with a full-service restaurant (that the locals love!), a pool, a table ... Read more >

Igår tog vi vår första surflektion på en ganska öde strand, strax söder om stan. Det var ungefär lika svårt som jag kom ihåg, men efter någon timma och några kallsupar fick vi hyffsat bra kläm på att fånga vågorna och ta oss upp. Sen kom den. Hajen. ... Read more >
