Good find! It is a nice style isn't it - I imagine very progressive for the year?
Steve talks about surfing Ulu in the early days in this legless interview: http://legless.tv/post/11311954146/alle ... alks-story

Hey Tomway thanks for that link! Hope you are getting waves! :) I've been out of the water for two months after doing a faceplant (pushbike) on some concrete...ugh. The moral is go to Indo and go surfing :)

Hi to Steve if you see him... or is he here?

Hi HW - I met up with Steve in Jan just before he boarded a flight for Oz. Not sure where he is now though, he's been quite the intrepid explorer recently traipsing around various islands with an earthrise under one arm and a video cam under the other :lol:

Sorry to hear you've been out of the water, but to be honest we've had probably the worst wet season of surf I can ever remember. Loads of local storms and windswell confusing things, gale force winds... all very weird. On the plus side the water is steaming hot so not all bad! Hope you get to your knees again soon 8)

Heya Tomway

Sorry been away for a few weeks :)

Thanks for that - yes the life of a gadabout !

Amazing what you can do with 2012 technology.


Hope your surf improves. I've discovered I can surf if I just use one arm! But I tend to go r ound in circles .....

cheers from oz
