Summer in the city - out of the vault: and out of fashion, the roundhouse. Speed sets it up. Rail in, hold that line, real buckets, KF, Drifta single + side bites.

The boys loved doing this one, TLC through production, then off to Vicco.
The cut-back shot back of my wetsuit is dry after managing to sneak out behind Boneyards without getting caught, and then a set right through. Sometimes it all goes so easy, other times, try a half-hour in the keyhole.

A mate sent this through this morning... and yes Gerry, those were the days, out in front of a nasty cliff with a board eating cave.

Lopez and I were paddling out in a close-out NW Swell at Waimea, for a Smirnoff heat. Lopez shouts "if Hackman yells Mother, we paddle in"! We lost. Couple of hours later we were on our way to Maui, thankfully!

Driving out of Kahului, we hear on the radio Reno has saved a couple of swabbies swimming in the Waimea shorebreak while heading out in the Final, which he won. We had to settle for H'Bay with not too many out (everybody was over on the North Shore).

Many thanks to
for his pic, a reminder of another time.
Shout-out to you Erik, your images of that swell are way close to my heart. Smiling!

Out of the Vault - 1980: outside Ulu, doing the 'traveller' thing. Surfed out there a bit, with only the local dugong for company. Long waits between sets, sitting on the spot, she came up next to me, looked me in the eye and burped in my face. Just about burned my eyebrows off, and stained my boardies!

A 'New Age' surfboard flower.
Combining some old and new single and multi-fin wave feelers. With thanks

SW advert incoming.
The cover with Mark Warren was my first. My twinnie was made in an all-nighter with Greg Hodges at Shane's. Surfed at dawn, at the Butterbox. They were in plague proportions by Christmas, 1970. It took a decade for the new age twinnie to emerge..... Bertleman, Liddel, DH, MR

Searching an old file, this image stood out : 'less is really more'. The wave.... the lone surfer. Where? Calm, threatening. Inside, or, caught?

No, not the '80's, but a look at HB's Twin Fin history. DH had two Twin Fin models, his "New Age' break-out morphed into 'Hyndsight' over a decade.
David's new custom captures it all.

And the Wind cries Mary.....
It was called Emerald Point, a sometimes wedge created by offshore winds putting sand back in the zone. Sand dune and beach stabilisation 'ruined' that!
Out of the vault : with thanks

Been three years since the last East Coast Low, looks like there’s one spinning itself up for mid-week. Out of the file : Rocky and Bullwinkle
