Last Mission for Laguna Bay

Latest ALB

On the final days of being sign with Laguna Bay SUP we headed up off road with Peter Aitchison and a few of the crew from Laguna Bay SUP.

Doing the session I got to surf Tully's new secret weapon and this is how it went. Off Tap......... Getting the board on rail.....

I would like to thank Tully for designing and making boards for me when no one else in Australia was making them. Laguna Bay is at the leading edge in regards to SUP and make great Custom High end Performance SUP Boards.

Taking a pounding

Went out to do a quick 14km down hill run before picking the kids up at School. My support crew (Jodie) dropped me off at Stummers Creek in Coolum and I was heading to Sunshine Beach.

What normally should take just on an hour took me 1hr 30 min. It took me 15 mins to get out off Stummers - I was getting a pounding.

I got stuck on a little sand bank and was just getting worked. Had a 20 sec hold down after getting worked on one of the bigger sets. I got dragged back towards the shore and by the time I get myself sorted again the next set came through. I waited this time and when the break came I PADDLED HARD. I just made it over a 4 wave set to make it out the back and on my way down to up to Sunshine.

I got a bomb coming into Sunshine to have the kids & the local life guard (Chicken) there waiting on the beach. Jodie was too slow to get a couple of shots of the bomb but got the inside line.

I got grilled that afternoon for forgetting to contact Jonesy and a few other Downwind enthusiasts maybe next time.

Enjoy the Ride

Molokai Xing - Week Tahi

All good plans have floors, didn't think mine would show its self so soon....

Week One saw me having to travel to Sydney for a Coreban Sponsored SUP Event at Woranora River - so sitting in the Coreban SUP Bus for 5 days was not the best 1st week i've ever had, whilst I did get some water time and a gym session - courtesy of JETTS World Wide they were not sessions of quality.

As for Jonesy he has been busy working on his technique changes and smash out a few flat water km's getting used to his new 12'6 Alpha.

I'm scribing this mid week in Week Rua (2) and what a difference down hill run's, technique sessions and sold surf session make not to mention Alistair and the crew from Lavery Chiro. Getting the Spine back in shape after 5 days of sitting on the bum.

Stay Tuned later this week as I will be going into a few of the logistics with sussing out Hawaii.

The 9'6 Performer Rocks!

I have a new favourite

got to finally get my feet on the 9'6' Performer and it has been on the 2 do list for sometime. I have seen the board and had worked myself into such a frenzy that the board would be a magic one. I started getting nervous that it may not live up to my expectations fortunately thats not the case. While it was in small on shore conditions - WHAT A WEAPON! look out over the next couple weeks we will post some video footage and pics - STAY TUNED.

Enjoy the ride

I'm out there again on the 9'6

Project Complete

The Process was a long road making sure the art work for the new Coreban SUP Bus was clean clear and powerful. We had the Crew at Choats Signs & Designs apply the Vehicle wrap and they did a great Job.

Choat Signs and Designs produce high quality custom signs for your business. We can design, manufacture and install all of your signage needs. We offer a personal service, meeting with you on site and listening to your requirements. We can show you samples of materials and make recommendations to suit your individual business operation.

Signs are the best way to advertise and the most effective way to let the public know about you and what you do. Based in Noosaville and servicing Noosa, Tewantin and the Queensland Sunshine Coast we offer signage solutions to suit a wide range of applications and locations.

A couple of the easier doors were done first.

Watching them work was funny but they knew what they were doing and obviously loved what they were doing as well. WE had good weather for the Vehicle Wrap which helped as they were under pressure to get it done before the Noosa Festival of Surfing.

They used small magnets to stick the massive sticker to the Bus first.

It came in two parts - top & bottom

Same process stick stand back and look talk for a while them adjust

Finished one side. Now for the other

The second side was a much lighter print. We also had the windows done with one way vision.

Half the Team at Choats

Now we can drive

See you at a beach soon we are all reloaded with Demo boards

Just another day in Paradise

With the trip down south to Sydney imminent I decided to take a day and just go surf. With a crazy week behind me with a house move and a trip down to Kingie I was excited to just get away. Hayden from Stand up Paddle Surf called me this morning all fired up frothing to get up the beach so it was pac a lunch get some H2O and head to the Ferry. Mark from Wetfoot Photography tagged along to document what went down.

With a ESE swell of 2m+ we were hoping to score some pumping waves and while it was not quite up to size the quality was there and we scored a memorable session.

As the day passed by we traded waves with the fortunate few who managed to escape the riggers of everyday life and go to what I can safely say one of the most beautiful places on the planet.

Was an epic session with the boys managing 6 hrs straight with a 5 min hydration stop so you can safely assume I am looking forward to my pillow to night.

Here are a couple of pics of the session Wetfoot Photography.
