At this point Dillon Perillo and Luke Hynd had already had their share of mysto reefs and hidden corners. Balinese hot rat Garut Widiarta, also on board, was barrel hardened at home in the Indo season, but Mick Fanning was busy being “Mick Fanning 3 X world champion, and man-of-the-moment-soon-to-be-shark puncher” – the role model all parents want their kids to grow up to be. Yet, the undisputed leader of world professional surfing was waiting in the wings for the right opportunity to whip off the comp vest and Search…
Matt Macduff brought 2 young guns to his training facility in Nova Scotia to show them what Mountain Biking is all about.
Matt Macduff makes Bailey Peckford and Fran Vigs grab the shovels to teach them the only rule a dirt jumper should follow. After building their own jump line, the boys head to the Halifax Skatepark for a quick session and then hit the bridge to call it a day. Do they have what it takes to survive? Only one way to find out: they’re gonna have to SEND IT!
I thought it was about time I filtered through my hard drives and released my usual tri-annual video of my favourite surf destination. This time I’ve put together all my own highlight waves plus a good two minutes of some impressive stand up surfing from my local friends and a few other FIFO hellmen.
All the stand up surfing, scenic and Gopro footage was shot by myself but I have to give a huge shout out and thank you to Simon Treweek, Ben Carosi, Cam Green, Sam Thomas, Andrew Chisholm and Stu Gibson for pointing their cameras/drones my way whist I was riding. Thanks to those of you who were kind enough to relieve me from my camera duties in the channel so I could catch a few waves for myself.
A lot of the Tasmanian stand up surfers down here have likely wanted to see a few of their waves that I had captured of them over the past year or so. I’m a bodyboarder but I love watching all of these guys do their thing-it’s all time to watch! So instead of letting all of my stand up footage lay dormant on my hard drive I threw it in at the end of the clip. If you really can’t stand watching bodyboarding that’s a shame but i’m not sorry you have to watch it to get to the stand up gold.
