SurfFest is the New Zealand Amature Surf Film Festival held each year. Anyone can make a 3 minute surf video and send it in. Last week was the official screenings where the winners were announced, but this Friday night The Titahi Bay Christian Surfers are screening all the videos again.

Anyone one can come along and its Free!! 7.30pm in Titahi Bay, check the poster for details.  Maybe there could be waves in the Bay for an afternoon surf before heading up to the Titahi Bay Community hall…  There will be a few cans of Mountain Dew as Spot prizes for the groms who can guess the winning video, and im sure there will be a few crazy games as well! See you there!!

Ahoy Hoy internet world!  So’s I just got a bloody DOOPPEEE new frame from Subrosa, it’s called the Pandora DTT!  DTT standing for double Top Tube!  Something a lil bit different; back in the day I owned quite a few DTT bike frames and they were awesome, but by the early 90’s they were slowly getting phased out of BMX, mostly because bike frames became alot more simple and weight concious.

Well fast forward to 2009 and Subrosa is the only company to bring back the DTT, and the bikes are made so much more lighter now, and I have to say it rides awesome! Great Timing cause I dropped it off at burgerfuel and a few days later I had a one of a kind Subrosa DTT with custom Burger Fuel paint job!  Super stoked!  It came out awesome and I gotta say a big thanks to the crew at Burger Fuel for pimpin my ride! AGAIN!! ahahahaha

So I just realised I never posted photos from the Parachute Roadshow Wellington stop.

Check out this video of an awkward landing that resulted in my latest injury… Watch my knee bend sideways!! It gives me chills watching it!!!

I had just got a brand new video camera and the first day out on the boat with it I managed to hurt myself . . . well at least we got it on film rite..?  I was out with my friends Alex Brown and Anthony Hollic as well as some of Anthony’s crew from Canada. I will have another video up soon of the full day.

So hurting my knee changes my plans a little, I was meant to be going to China on Monday but now that I am unable to ride I will be flying home to NZ ASAP.  I am looking forward to getting back and starting on preparations for the season ahead.  Stay tuned!

Hey, Just got back from a quick trip to Methven for the big air.  Was a fun comp and pretty packed event. I was MCing with my buddy Zinny and all went well.

Here’s a few pics of the mission:

Oh I cant get enough of this, I know I already blogged about it but….. I cant help it, it was sooo awesome!!!  You can check out more pics from our day up the Southern Alps here … http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=4143507&id=148843670329

Well where do I start . . . its been a freezing cold winter but there has been loads of swell on the East Coast and also some of the beaches up North producing some all time beach break barrells.  The Whanga Bar has also been in good form with some really fun hollow barrells going down and the crowds haven’t been too bad either.  The swell last week on the East Coast was a goodie, I paddled over to Matakana Island with a couple of mates and scored some pumping barrells right throughout both that day and the next couple of days after as well!

Summer is on its way and it’s slowly getting warmer; hopefully its a good one for swell and we score some good waves!  If you’re around Whanga you will be able to catch me taking surfing lessons down on the main beach right through out summer and if you’re lucky I should have some cold Dew with me!  But of course I’ll also be out there surfing as much as I can!  Check out the website out again soon and I’ll update on what I have been up to!
