I dont know either brother from a bar of soap… But like you, I know the basics… They’re entertainers on the land and in the water and they have hit the world wide web with their own Blog, not one their sponsors set up with any corporate bullshit. Just a raw, simple and effective site that will have you kicking back laughin to yourself… Laughing alone is one of the best things you can do in this world… They have got ‘emselves a video camera and along with knowing every pro on the planet makes for some candid entertainment… Most mornings I do the usual rut boringly run on my emails and make sure I still have enough money for lunch that day… Then I scour through the sites that kick off my morning, maybe find some inspiration for the 8 hours of editing or shooting I have ahead of me… The first place to go is the goods life… But there is a heap of others ive sussed out, most can be found in our ‘like minded fools’ tab just to your right… The controversial penslingers at stabmag.com always have something to read, with the likes of Jed Smith happy to write his mind on the pages of the site and you can always scour through the lil weeds section… Which I do out of habit and concern that I could well be singin for my supper with all the lil weeds editing like Walter Murch… Theres a heap of young rigs vying to be the next chick to stir Derek’s cocktail umbrella… and good on em… ‘Give me a stab’… what a concept?… But the list goes on, my good mate Kai Neville is in the process of piecing Modern Collective together with a team that will shake the salt of ya face with electronic, hi fi mayhem… It was only 6 years ago Kai and I were battlin’ it out for the best angles at Hippies carpark… Reminiscing what would life be without huh?… Dion has just re jigged his site and its pretty sweet, unless he is stranded on an island in the middle of an ocean unknown and he cant get online… But when he’s in civilisation the place flows with clips, pics and chicks that make you feel like you missed the boat… Our good mate Sharna from our talked up ‘Not just a pretty face’ section has her strange lil world of design and all things strange at ‘the shy party‘, but she sure knows how to spot a rig… Cheads and Spencer and a heap of other Aussie QSers have the tourlife which again is a site that just rubs salt in the wound that is yours/ours current life, but theyre takin’ a gamble on makin a life out of what they love and fuckin good on ‘em… They know how to have a good time, there’s no doubting that… Then theres this guy ‘smart casual’ who is just a dude with a strange eye and a heap of different camera’s, angles and perspectives on life that I find refreshing in amongst a world of tightly cropped ‘action’ shots, you will get too see photo’s of surfing not just who’s stickers are on what board, along with what he has been up to hangin with mates and artists and all thing’s left of centre…Then last but not least is our good mates at Empire Ave, a site devoted to the collaborations and creative elements of the board industry and like they say ‘its so fresh its delivered by ninjas’
anyhow it’s sites like these that have helped put RV on the internet map and our thanks go out to them for the miles of traffic that have found us through you/them… first, present and past tense eat balls… write it how you talk it …
cheese ya grater…
