Alas Magazine Launch

In celebration of the release of the first issue of "Alas Magazine" the boys threw a good old shin dig at El Sol Mexican Restaurant on the 19th September. There were tunes from "Kieran de la Harpe" , "Fade in the shade" and "Fisher King", threads supplied by TCSS, and a sweet Alaia donated by Ryan Bridges of RB Shapes that some lucky young lady walked away with, much to the disgust of the gentlemen in attendance. A great night was had by all and plenty of Corona's and Burritos were consumed.

If you haven't got your copy yet hit up Triple Bull at Cronulla, The Sugarmill at Narrabeen or The Porch & Parlour at Bondi..... or shoot me some mail and I can point you in the right direction.

Below are some snaps I took on the night... enjoy!

Bevanantics By Brad Whittaker Featuring Jake

Brad made this little video of Jake surfing some tiny waves, albeit in beautiful conditions at North Cronulla. Shot using his new HD Go Pro. Pretty cool.

The Salt Baptist

Good Mate Andrew Carruthers heads up The Salt Baptist Church in Peregian, on the Sunshine Coast of QLD. He's loves his surfing and is into his photography as well as being the driving force behind the new Christian Surf Movie "FLUX". I got to spend a heap of time with him at Port last week and thought I'd give his site a little plug!

Aussie Titles 2010 - OPENS!

I've just spent the last 7 days in Port Macquarie at the Australian Longboard Titles. An insane week of surfing & more so shooting for me, totally frothing out on the performances of many of Australia's, if not the world's best longboard surfers. The images below are of the 4 finalists from the Men's Opens. The pic at the top is Josh Constable with what was my pic of the week, from his round 1 heat... amazing huh!

1960's

Do you love boards & footage from the 60's? I do... The trim, the glide, the history.

I'm picking up a 66/67 Hobie Gary Propper model tomorrow just in time for our trip to Vico for the Surf Coast Winter Classic. Can't wait to try it out on some uncrowded points down the Great Ocean rd.

Below is an orginal Ad of the board ( mine is identical ) and also some footage that I think is just awesome, how's the commentary.

Layback Winter Classic

The Laybacks held their annual Winter Classic on the 3rd July at Bellambi Point. It was 2-3ft with the occassional bigger one, and was a perfect day all round. A great comp run by a great bunch of people, this was our first year at this comp and we'll be back next year for sure.

Thanks for a great day!
