Cutback to Reverse is a Boring Name

Help the community of surf rename the last trick in this video...

BJSC Mid Summer Hump

It is the summer hump and we have officially reached mid season. I got 2nd in the 12 & Under division and although I wanted to do better it sets me up for a year end run for the top spot. I also made the 14 & Under final and with a third place in the event move into 4th overall, so I am stoked and ready for the international summer events. Will be heading to the United States and the East Coast Surf Championships and the Rip Curl Grom Fest maybe others. For some fun will be in a skateboarding camp in Houston to blow off some steam while visiting family!!

Blame it on the Rain

Rainy day session today with Dane Mackie and Daniel Edghill. Point was fat and funky on the high tide, waited to find the ones that would stand up enough to try and pop it. Fun session with just us out!! Music: Beastie Boys - Intergalactic

Got me a Ron Jon Surf Festival trophy :)

First time surfing Cocoa Beach, FL at the Ron Jon Surf Festival in Easter '11. Got through some tough heats with good competitors to finish 4th overall in the Menehune Boys 12 & Under. Pretty happy with the result given the tricky beach break conditions, a lot of inconsistent chop. Gonna use the momentum to get another solid result at the East Coast Surf Championships in August. Met shaper Rich Price and leant a bit about shaping at his shaping bay in Melbourne and also at Peli Surfboards. A shout out to the Bajan squad Josh, Dane, Jacob, Zander, Che, Evan, Chelsea, Bella and Coach Burkie, also a special congrats to Chelsea Roett for her 7th place in her ASP debut at the Rob Machado Seaside event.
