‘Thought I’d post some pics from one of the last swells I surfed a few weeks back. I talked my mate Sivo into towing this slab, I don’t think he’d surfed waves like that before and ended up making more than me.

Filming for “poorman” has began.
Bags are packed and myself, mooney and central coast grom Josh Hay are on our way to Newcastle to catch up with Ando for a few days. Empty pocketed and looking for ways of getting our next feed… Lets hope the fish are on.

LLS- DANGEROUS DAVE AND THE BOGGY MARSH BOGANS
11/16/2010 - Posted by RV in ARCHIVES, LA LUNAR SYNDROME
We got off the plane in the mountains and went straight into an old restaurant and this guy came and sat next to me. He’s dressed in his koteka, the original dress of these people that is dying out with the new generations.
Lately I’ve been surfing a bit with Josh and Brendan Hay. They live just down the road from me at copacabana. Josh is 16 and Brendo is 14. Josh surfs natural and Brendo surfs goofy. They’ve been turning heads in the water for some time around home and recently they’ve been going further a field competing in a few comps here and there and gaining a few results on the way. They’re both little legends and I know you’ll be seeing much more of them in the future if not through our movies, through the mags and winning competitions. Naturally I thought I should ask them a few questions.
This is Josh flicking his tail high for the ladies of copacabana.
You and your brother are turning into fine young surfers, you’ve both been competing a bit lately. How have you been going in the comps? What has been your favourite comp to compete in?
B: Josh and I go ok in in comps, we both won a cadet cup at Freshwater Beach. Josh goes better in comps than I do but I think I like free surfing a bit more. There’s no pressure and you can do what you want.
J: Yeah Brendo and I have been going well this year, it’s always tough. my favourite comp that I have done would have to have been a comp when we stayed at Jarrad’s house because Brendo and I both won, ha ha! it was the harboard community bank pro. Um yeah I love competing, just being able to go out there and have a heat with your mates, it’s fun.
Some out takes from a day in autumn, the best time of year for waves. These two sessions were on the same day, I didn’t get out of my suit in between. Rob Coote and Joel Gribble got some crazy barrels on the beach break that morning and Justin ‘JUGHEAD’ Allport scared me when we pulled up to the reef break. I didn’t want a wave after what I saw him try and ride. We got there as the tide was rising and the swell was dying so it was all but over when we started towing. Thats Dylan Longbottom towing me in.

nb: when Mooney sent us this I was getting on a plane, so its password locked at the moment, Mooney will ditch that soon, in the meantime type: autumnday and press play
Mooney is working on something, something I know very little about. He never lets much out of the bag when I ask, but after the first installment with ‘One month on the Moon’ my anticipation brews on what’s up his sleeve. Here is what he had to say about this little clip of throw aways.
”Out takes from a photo shoot with Rod Owen. Michael Spencer and I whipping in, the waves were pretty straight and wobbly.” Mooney
