A tribute from us to you Ryza…
Half the town got onboard to make this thing come together… Its kinda sad that it takes something like death to get everyone in one place together again… It was a great farewell to a great bloke, I’ve been saying since my first beer at your wake… ‘Its the best party you ever threw’… There was tear covered smiles everywhere, you would of thought the Pirates lost the Grand final… If only that was all it was…
I hope you got fast internet up there because the fuckin’ thing goes for almost 40 minutes…
NB: Give this thing time to load up before watching it through (press play then pause it while it loads) If you are having troubles viewing it you may need to update or download the latest flash player then grab some tissues, its rough.
Big thanks to Hoops, Dwayne, Callum and Katya who drove around town chasing up as many faces as they could for these video farewells… (Apologies to those close to Ryza we never got to, it was a hectic few days)… We cant forget Dougy from Douglas Signs, Brett from Mode Screenprinting, Tully and Stu from Shotgun Surfboards, the Grey brothers from Rhythm, Spillsy at Volcom, Vards and Campbell for their rafflin skills, Clouty for the banners we never got time to put up, Chris at Pirate park for the cheapest beers since cyclone Betsy and everyone and anyone else who stepped up for Ryza…

Hi Jake
I am very impressed and thank you for all of the wonderful footage. I hadn’t seen much of Ryza for a few years but had the pleasure of sinking a few cold ones with him last year. Cheers to you, to Ryan and to everyone that can still have a drink for him. xx Steph and Family
what a sad and horrid loss this young life is, our hearts go out to his dad brother and cousins RIP
