Big Tony 10 months!!!!!! Bejesus mate that is hardcore I thought 8-9 weeks was a big chunk of my life but 10 months that's incredible well done on coming through it well.

Ruptured Achilles Tendon

Five weeks ago I managed to snap my achilles pretending that I was younger than I actually am!! I had the operation four days later and was placed in the "moon boot" to return home for two weeks of non weight bearing rest - since then I have been allowed to lump around in Frankenstein mode...

Really I thought that place was like a vampires hang out with no windows and that it would never close!!!! Might be a good thing! Hope you had a ball and got some of this massive swell that's been hitting SA and that Anna cooked as well as she did for us last year, did you get the hot nuts during th...

Geez mate don't even think about being embarrassed, I will get the whole family to vote daily and that will probably cause a melt down of the system!!!

MJ yeah a pity the Bohemian Baru isn't quite ready,I am looking forward to being onboard that boat at some stage in the future. The Bohemian was a great boat and with Steve's changes the new Bohemian will be even better. The Danau Toba is the hotel where most people stay the night before departing M...

We were there with the Ripcurl boat which wasn't the disaster we thought but quite a highlight watching Tom Curren and his sons and Frank...

I am currently trying to work out what tail shape to go for on a newy and going a bit smaller after being inspired by Ross, Damo and Simon and basically surfing my 5'10 to death at Red Buf...
