recent km's

Over the past week has been pretty crazy..A nice lil period presented itself over the west coast the last week. My self and a few chums went over to get a few perfect desert waves, we got some pretty pumping waves and had some amazing fun times. Apart from one mate who was an unfortunate victim of what the west coast is known for 'surf localism'. At a pretty well known bodyboarding spot that has had more coverage than almost any other wave in Aus in the last few years, a guy by who we know as 'phil' smashed his $6000 lense of the rocks and then proceeded to run away like a little bitch.
Its pretty gutless in my opinion to do something like that, especially when he pretty much assaults a 17 year old who is shooting a spot thats soo well known whilst the bra boys are shooting up a storm with full HD video cameras and big fuck off cameras which is probs gonna be used in the next tracks or surfing life magazine, at a spot that is known most for the anti exposure and hardcore locals.
If their going to be real hardcore locals abuse the guys that will actually expose the place instead of picking on a fucking 17 year old which the photos are just for us having a laugh and the most exposure they will get is showing our mums and dads saying "look at me mum i can get barrelled".

Anyways I'm sure theirs a lot of discussions that can be presented in this argument. My point of view is that localism is SHIT. Fair enough if u have a go at someone who is snaking you or dropping in on someone, but to actually break some of their property and then run away and to continue doing it, its just not on.

anyways in-spite of this incident we actually had a really good time.
hopefully i will have a lil vid to pop up soon to show some recent waves.
