Posted in Gold Coast, News

The swell keeps hanging around… It seems like the waves havent got under 3 feet for over 2 months now. There were great waves over the weekend . I didnt pick up the camera on the weekend but had a great surf at Duranbah and surprised myself by picking up a few nice peaks in the school holiday crowd. Shaun Harington was out there ripping on an old brown board. I saw him on one wave, backdoor the peak taking off pigdogging goofy (switchfoot) and then switch foot back,...

He’s  been living in Australia, married to an Aussie girl for quite a few years now. He surfs the Gold coast points regularly and is out in the...

In search of Michael Peterson a Review by Martin Tullemans

Posted in Gold Coast, News, Reviews

The release and premiere of the movie ‘Searching for Michael Peterson’ truly struck a bottom turn in my heart. It was not your usual pump up the hydraulic plumbing macho fluid stuff. Sure the rip tear and lacerate of ‘MP’ the father of modern high performance surfing was…….  oh yeah baby!!!…. Show me the money!!!  But it also had a humanity   and respect for Michael’s condition that set it a cut above. Jolyon Hoff the producer needs to be applauded and...

Cafe Le Monde and Max Judo

Posted in Gold Coast, News

I got an email on Thursday afternoon, inviting me to a surf art and memorabilia charity auction that was on that night. It was being held at Le Monde Cafe a very groovy little establishment in the base of the new  ‘Kirra Surf’ building. There may be better ways to spend a balmy summer evening but I couldnt think of one at the time so I trotted off down there as quick as I could..Turned out to be a great decision!! The Auction was organised  to raise money for...
