My friend Phil picked this board up from Sam Egan in Newcastle. Custom large MR glass ons made by goran peko on the goldy
Dims:7’0 x 21.5 x 3
phil is a lifelong ripper, former namotu boatman, molokai to Oahu unlimited sup winner and all around eternal grommet! His stories are the stuff of legends
The Great NEWS about this COVID-19 virus on the Gold Coast is. There’s plenty of parking at the beach & the waves aren’t crowded. Greenmount was only small 2 to 3ft dead low-tide the Greenie bank was just firing/pumping but you had to surf super fast to make the section, it was Bulk Fun. I got this one bomb from Little Marley all the way down into Greenmount I haven’t done a 360 on a wave in a few years so I thought I give one a go on this bomb raced the section came hard of the bottom into the lip & brought my board back around “I did the full roundhouse carving 360” then kept surfing the wave all the way into Greenmount. I paddle back out I see retired WCT surfer Troy Brooks we talked story for a bit, “Troys says that was a nice 360 you pull off on the last wave.” Stoked, I’m so loving my new “Old Man’s Board.”
I did a 4 hour session this morning 5:30am till 9:30am I had to come in my body was hurting got so many waves, I had to put the Gravity Boots on for 10 minutes when I got home to open all the vertebra in my spine.
In 2007 I took a month of Lifeguarding & worked at the Quiksilver PRO, this one day the Quiksilver PRO was on hold waiting for the tide to drop - I put my DaFins on & went for a Bodysurf I’m hanging off Little Marley, I see Troy Brooks take of on this Bomb Set behind the rocks at Snapper. So I’m body surfing this wave I could see Troy Brooks do these huge hacks just behind my head we both surf this wave down into Greenmount the wave finishes I look at Troy Brooks & start laughing, Troy say “I could see your head but couldn’t see your board,” hahahaha.”
