Skateboarding prodigy

I was at home as usual watching 'the hills' and eating hot cross buns when i got a message from my hate hugh saying he was gonna skip uni today and come over to my house in the arvo. As the creative kids we are we decided to capture his amazing skating skills on camera and do a quick edit of his rad skills. 

So we spent properly an hour filming and I spent like 45 mins editing this clip..

After buying my new mac, making movies from average footage is so much easier.. it allows you to add all these cool effects. change the colours and cut the clips so much easier..
After a few recent west cape trips i took a lil footage and my creative side shined through and i made this little clip.

surprise surpise!!!

Sorry about the lack of updates with my blog.. Over the last week or so my movements have been very minimal.. Wave wise there hasnt been much to talk about. A few trips over to yorkes produced some fun waves at west cape and ledge. Knights has been shit due to the lack of sand in the corner, or even on the beach resembling a reef but without a good wave infront of it..
Although today produced the years first day with a solid south swell and some NW winds.. Checking knights first thing didnt really float my boat. The swell was up and the call was made to go check waits in an all desperate mission..knowing it would be solid we were hoping there would be a bank firing or something along the beach somewhere..Checking the point first we thought it was the usual story.10 dudes out trying to surf a closeout..wooho..But after I heard a beach close by called parsons had a good rip bowl off the point.. I dont usualy check parsons as there is usualy 50 stand ups that think their the fucking best and rule the beach, but we checked it anyways and were surprised to see a left coming off the point with only a few dudes out.. straight down there and got some of the best waves ive had in a long time with hardly any one out..
who knew parsons would ever get good!!

zoolander wannabe

My weekly routine doesnt really exist of that much..I work for 2 or 3 days and if there isnt any surf for the remainder of the week it makes me search for things to do..A lucky thing for me photographer Sonny Harlow is in a similar situation.
We took an afternoon off our busy schedule to head down to the ghetto ridden Pt Adelaide to shoot a few shots.

lack of stimulation

Since Ive returned from my travels, my life has seemed to go back to the usual routine...the waves have sucked since i've been bac..knights hasnt had any banks and the hasnt been over 2 foot. The other coastlines have had good waves the last week but inbetween the two days i work a week they just happened to fall upon the only 2 days that there were good waves.
This has fuelled my determination to get out of SA and travel and get some waves. 

dream on...

Imagine walking over a dune and seeing this...

mac attack

After returning home from Samoa last week i had some hard earn cash still saved away in my bank account that i didnt expect to have..My shitty toshiba laptop just didnt really hold up for the time i had it so i decided to join the bandwagon and splerge out and buy myself a macbook. properly  one of the best decisions i've made

Jack Creevy

He's a talented young man.i'm pretty sure hes not even legal yet but already has established himself as one of SA's best photographers and has already made a mark taking sharp photos along other coastlines. whilst doing my daily search on vimeo i saw this clip and thought it might look alright. to my surprise it was made by none other but the young man himself. not only is he a good photog hes actualy not that bad at editing little clips on windows movie maker.
