A recent story. From today in fact. I happended to make the trek over to Sydney's northern beaches to have some lunch at Dee Why and have a peek at the Mick Mock auction at the Mona Vale Hotel. Anyway park the car at Dee Why and walk down to have a look at what the Point is doing. Comment to my girlfriend "Gee that looks like young Matty Nov sitting over there". Low and behold it is young Matty Nov. On closer inspection Matty seemed to be clutching his knee. "What happened?" I said to young Nov. The response was "I got called into an inside one, fell off and cut my knee open. U wanna have a look?" My response - "I don't think so." I didn't tell him that I have a tendency to faint at the sight of blood.
Thankfully for modern technology, I was able to whip out the mobile and let young Nov call his knight in shining armour (aka his Mum) who was able to quickly jump in the surf mobile that is the Camry station wagon and bolt down to Dee Why from North Narra to collect young Matt and his mate.
Hope u aren't out of the water for too long young lad. Phillip Island is just around the corner!!!!!!!!!!
The people u run into.....

Thanks heaps for helping us out there today Grant, I would've been stuck there for ages pinching my cut together otherwise. The cut was bigger than I thought but thankfully it was pretty shallow (6 stitches), the doctor said I should be back in time for Phillip Island so I'm stoked.
I felt pretty sick when I saw the whole thing so I don't blame you for not wanting to look
Ps. Many kneelos at the auction?

also picked up a "Clean and Natural" flextail slab 5'8" x 23 7/8" x 3" single fin
It may have some asian heritage with 3 japanese looking charactors on both sides as well as a fine spray
A little work will have it in pristine condition
