GO PRO GOLD @ STRAD
It's a big call, but I have seen some of the most perfect beach break waves in the last 2 days...
We had a chance to do some step offs, so Asher and I whipped the Go Pro out. Here is one of the waves from yesterday, the whole Go Pro session in the next couple of days.

Reflecting on last week...and it's still pumping.
Occy was ruling after getting knocked from Dancing with the Stars. Occy was psyching to finally get to surf after dancing up a storm. He definitely was ruling this day (in the below pic). It's always fun surfing with Occy. Some of the waves were closing out, but there were a few that were draining away. Occ managed to paddle into this nugget and got drained the whole wave. I hope I'm still surfing and doing half as good as he is at his age... legend.
Video coming from last weeks sessions soon.....
Thanks to Adam Weathered for the pics.

LATER JAPAN.. HOME SWEET HOME
Handley aka - Mr Karaoke. |
Note - Rocal only. |
I just got home from a trip I did in Japan with my shaper Darren Handley. It was my first time visiting the
place.
I had no idea what to expect - the best way I could explain it to someone that has never been to Japan, is that it feel's like your in a futuristic cartoon. While I was there we travelled to Osaka, which a little surf town about a hour flight south of Tokyo.
There had been a typhoon that hit the day prior to us getting there, so were scored a couple fun waves - but nothing amazing. But I wasn't expecting too much.

All in all, it was a really fun trip. Amazing people and fun times, but I was excited to get back home.
The day I got back I was Surfing 6 feet waves and it has been amazing since.
Dbar - doing its best impression of Pipeline. |
I got to surf with all my mates and the session with Occy at Dbar was rememberable to say the least. I will be cutting some lifestyle stuff from Japan and also I will show some clips of some of the waves that we have been scoring on the East coast of late. Here are some shots in the mean time while I am working on the video parts.
