GETTING BLOGGIE

DESERT 09 from Joel Parkinson on Vimeo.

Ah, desert days. Last year Joel took his Sony Handycam up north for his trip to the Desert Lefts with Andy, Occ and Luke. The video above is what came back. That thing got a workout, eh?

Well, with the benevolence of jp.com knowing no boundaries, we’re now giving away the latest Sony HD upload bloggie camera to a friend of the site. The camera has a built in 270º rotating lens, and there’s a bonus 360º lens attachment should you require footage of your own frothing face fused into the blazing panoramic lineup you’re filming. The camera is lightweight, pocket-sized and has a built-in USB arm. It will be your new little best mate.

To be in with a chance, in the comments section below just describe for us in 28 words or less the one scene you’d live to film in 360º panorama. The most dreamy/inventive/funny/twisted entry, as judged by Joel, will win the camera. Sadly for our OS friends the contest is only for Australia, and closes on Thursday May 20.

BELLS… EVERYWHERE BUT !!

Here’s what’s been happening down here the last week or so.

CHASING YA TAIL

PARKOS WEEK AFTER QUIK PRO from Billabong on Vimeo.

Up at 4am, three hours down the coast with Louie and Laurie only to turn around, come home and surf D-Bah. Then the day after we got epic waves only for my dog to go missing for two hours and the car to get a flat tyre on the way home. The week after the Snapper contest was eventful to say the least.

HOME SWEET HOME

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 !!
