TRUCKASAURUS

A bit less than a year ago, I began working in a shed in the Industrial Estate out the back of Port Elliot. My job was to sort cockles and grade them so they could be sold to the public. I then told my boss to employ Casey V because he was looking for work. 1 year passes, the season had been over for months. Our boss from Cockles rang us up. Next thing you know he is getting us to pull an engine out of a big fucking truck and take the wheels off which were rusted to buggery. It was an easy couple hundred, made easier by the use of forklifts, oxy torches and sledge hammers. It was a good 2 days (10 hours) of work, learnt a bit about how shit trucks are and I also found an iced coffee stubbie holder. Booyahhhh!

Barreling fast and a Blast from the Past

Today, Knights was super dooper fun. Lots of ramps and barrels. A person no one has seen in ages rocked up today, Rob Williams. Good to see the lovely ranga back for a surf at knights after spending 1 year in WA.Karl Morgan in a tasty one.

ATTACK ATTACK!

Terrorism, It would be one hell of an exciting job. Just going for a cruise down the street is boring for us, but imagine if you were linked to terrorist plots, bombings and other shit. Going for a drive would be intense. Might have the FBI firing at you, haha. Why is lance talking about this? Well, Casey and I had an idea, what if we break into the grommies house where they were all smoking bongs dressed in balaclavas, overalls, wielding axes yelling THIS IS A HOLD UP? What would they do?

Next thing you know, we are at the grommies house, but his mums home. ABORT. So we rode the peewee 50 and played pool instead. Could have been amazing.

Lance, peewee love

Yes, we were scared of getting pulled over by cops.

Hectic pool time.

Unofficial House Warming

Last night I was chilling at Mystos new house watching bodyboard movies. I decided to go get some din dins from the chicken shop round 7. After eating, I went back to Mystos house only to find the local crew hanging round the joint. First i spoke to an inform braeden slurring what he intended to be "Hi lance, I'm super drunk on this fine evening!" but really came out as "3 bottles for 25" Everyone knew where his night was heading. Spewtown. I had a couple beers with the crew and I was going to go home when Dan rocked up and offered me a lift to the pub, so i took it. Had a beer at the elliot then looked out the window to see a recently banned Josh Dover doing laps of the pub looking for an un-supervised entry. Then braeden barged in with bag and hoodie on and got taken out quicker then his alcohol intake. So there they were, the local fig tree bandits sitting outside of the pub trying to con the bouncer lady into letting them in. It was a fun little night to start the weekend off.

Awkward photos

Last weekend, after mum found out I that had won State Titles, she decided to make me feel as awkward as possible. She made me pose next to the car for a photo not once but 3 times, even when all my friends were around. Mums will be mums i guess.

The Bay

The bay is what the stand up surfers of the south coast of SA regard as the jewel in their crown. In actual fact it is a f*cking shit hole of a wave. On its day, it has an unhollow, spilling left hander which then goes into a 'walling' shoulder which is also shit. In contrast, it develops some good stand up grommets because they half rip in shit waves, such as the bay, then when given the opportunity of amazing waves, they rip.

"Is there any surf?"

No, there is not. Its about 4 foot and fucked. Looks fun in the picture above, but its shit. Unlike last night, light WNW and 3ft of swell made for many ramps and smiles. F*ck Charlie Mason for being a grommie cunt and f*ck my fins for getting lost in the big blue sea 3 times.

Knights Beach Pro

Truth be told, it was a cracker of a day. Congrats to Dallas Singer, he surfed amazing and made me want to step it up a notch. Just wish i got the waves I wanted in the heats so I didn't have to lose to a still drunk from the night before Cade Sharp. Devo. Hahaha. Least I didn't come all the way from WA like my new friend Philip "Hightowers Twin" Windsor, who suffered a crushing defeat in his first heat. He flew back with his tail in between his legs and a porno of a 14 year old.Dallas Singer

"Distinguish Yourself"

Those were the words that inspired me to create this blog. The man who spoke those words, Zac Baillie is a photographer living on the armpit of South Australia -The Mid Coast. I met Zac one lazy afternoon while bodyboarding Knights. He got a couple happy snaps and he said that he would send them through, which isn't common for me to hear, so i thought "This blokes a jive turkey, I might add him on Facebook" Couple months on, I have a blog and the first post is about him.
