The State of Surfing

Travelling the world, following the WCT and QS and spending my inheritance (God bless accident prone rich wives), read on to learning nothing about anything as I recall my glory days on the WQS and ponder the future of our sport.
Blogging suxs

Over time I've come to the conclusion that those guys that blog are useless pencil pushing geeks that need to get a life and need to get laid.

I've got better things to do with my time like heavying kids under 14 from Northend to join me in reviving the Rebel Boardriders Club.

So long suckers
Roy loses it in Hawaii

Yo to all you hommies from the South Ward

I know it’s been ages since my last update and but to all my concerned fans out there I’m still alive and kicking. Apparently since Easter 08 when I went AWOL the southend email has gone into meltdown. The lads have been inundated with emails and phone calls from adoring male and females fans. All I can say it’s been an interesting 7-8 months. The boys in particular that penny pinching treasurer Pete were stoked as I was no longer using boardriders funds to travel the world.

Well my last blog saw me in Hawaii about to catch a thumping swell at Pipe. It was my last surf in Hawaii before some serious shite hit the fan but let me start by saying that I was on fire out da pipe. So here’s the John Dory...... It all started when I paddled out. I sat quietly watching the locals + pros get some nice big pits. After 15-20 min I paddled over and sat 10m deeper than Jamie O’Brien + the Pussycats (aka Wolfpak) and boy where they pisss ...

Seasons Grettings

Seasons Greetings my friends. Trust all is well down under and everyone is enjoying the festive season.

Sorry haven't been in touch 4 ages. Have spent the last 7 months wandering here and there. Another Oz winter in Bali & Lombok & Mentawaiis getting shacked off my head, 2 weeks in Brazil courtesy of the new ASP champ Mick Fanning a week in Vegas and at the time of writing I am lounging at the Billabong house in Hawaii courtesy of another bet made in Brazil with Andy Irons.

Well here's a summary of what has transpired since mid April when I took off from my humble shack at the bush behind southend creek. After a massive night on the cans at the Sands with the boys I woke to another glorious sunrise only to find that for the 90th straight day the surf was under 2ft. I was over it and it was time for a road trip. Off everything it was time to go to Bali for the winter.

From the moment I stepped off the plane it was non-stop. Epic sess ...

Back to reality
By Roy on 12/5/2007 3:23 AM

Just back from the North Shore where I rode some of the best waves of my life. After the pros left town the waves pumped and I worked on making sure I was the man out in the pipe lineup. After a few Karate fights (7 career fights - 7 Wins 0 Losses - 6 by the way of KO) and a few of the deepest barrels ridden by anyone in years I was considered "The Man". Move over Jamie O and the rest of the locals haoles. Everyone was saying "Roy is the man out at Pipe now". I held the mantle for a couple of weeks until the day I feared most finally arrived. My c/c was maxed. No cash out or credit available. That dirty wog Pete was not funding this trip anymore. I knew ...

Aloha

Well I made it to the promised land, Hawaii a place where reps are made and broken. There is no hiding when the swell is big and if you cat it, it takes years to rebuild your rep. Ask Anthony Jay Brown. The boy was destined to big things until he came here in 1985 and dogged going out in 5 ft Sunset and was banished to Idaho in the USA for 9 years. Well I got straight off the plane and made my way to the North Shore and hooked into a huge West swell at Pipe. No time to get my legs or make excuses so I was st ...

Obrigato from the land of non-stop partying
By Roy on 12/5/2007 3:16 AM

After 26hrs of exhausting travel and after copping a thousand and forty questions and an hour in customs I was finally allowed into the party town of Rio. I walked through the doors at the airport and was greeted by my main man in Rio - Fernando who had a bunch of groupies hanging off his arms. I thought to myself that a boy. The surf in Rio was average but the action on the beach was unbelievable!!!!! So many scantily clad hotties on the beach over here that love to flaunt it. Man this is paradise. My 1st night on the town in Rio was sick. They love Aussies over here and it totally helped that Fernando is the man over here. He was getting us into all the bars drinking free chicks all over us. Felt like a ...
