THE BOOK LAUNCH

We launched the new book the other night at Kirra. Such a fun night. Had a hundred of my close friends and family there at my mate Nick’s bar, Fresh, just across the road from Kirra. Had a few cheeky beers, but I think the girls ended up drinking more than the guys because there was a swell coming overnight and the guys didn’t want to get bent too out of shape. Mon’s cousin Holly wrote a poem for the night which was all-time, Big Trev took the stage for about two hours, I waffled for about 30 seconds and that was it… my book was launched. Hope you guys like it.

LEARN TO SURF

This Saturday night the National Rugby League (NRL) is putting on the first ever Indigenous All Stars Vs The NRL All Stars game and its being played up here at the Titans Stadium.

I got asked the other day if i could take some of them for a surf so we went down to Currumbin Alley to catch a few waves. A couple of the boys could surf, but there was alot of Carnage, some really funny collisions.

It was good to get the boys out there havin’ a go !!

Been back home for over a month now. The surfs been pretty flat all through out January but that’s standard for that time of year.

The last few days though the waves have been really fun, it feels good to be back !!
