ANOTHER//

Another day in the cooks. woke up sorta late after a night out at rehab last night, was a halloween theme, and the place was packed to say the least. Was a pretty fun night out on the drink.

Today we moved to a different motel. The new one is pretty chilled, the lady gave us a discount, so that was sick. This arvo we surfed the same wave as the first day, was pretty fun, so didnt bother shooting.

These photos i took about half an hour ago, first on is looking out over the water at the new place we are staying at, the second is 2 gods or something.

KiiKii.

COOKS 2//

Woke up early, and lapped the island looking for waves, wasnt much size and ended up surfing socials.

Later we went to palace takeaway, wrighty and benda got palace burgers, pretty large. When that was all said and done, we went up into the jungle, did some burnouts on the mopeds and headed home. Might go out tonight.

COOKS//

Flew in last night at like 11:30pm. the Main Flight attendent was fairly pleasing to the optic nerve, thats for sure. The landing was the dodgiest thing since troy kneeves. We went back to the motel and unpacked, soon after me benda and wrighty strolled down to the local pub, which was closed, needless to say, we were devo. So we asked this dude for a lift to the 24 hour, he said something along the lines of "sweet as bro, jump on". So we got in the back of his ute and he drove us down to this servo, when we got out, he was all like "how can i contact you dudes, we gotta party sometime!", was pretty funny.

Today we hired our mopeds and cruised the island for a bit, then this arvo we surfed this fun little right hander.

Wave we surfed today.

PIPE//

Went down to pipe today, got there a bit late after a late night for bazz's 14th (he is actually 17 incase you were wondering what the hell i was doing at a 14th birthday).

It was pretty average really, with no wigs out doing their thing. Mainly kooks and old men all out there for one thing, and that was to burn anyone they could, even if that ment having to drop in on the endbowl.

Anyway, here are a few shots, boring i know...

OWN//

MIND.

Lately ive been thinking about things that have a 'mind of their own'.
So, becuase im so generous, i thought id configure a list. Enjoy.

- Phones.
- Bosses.
- Cars.
- Girls.
- Computers.
- Teachers.
- Balinese.
- Telemarketers.
- Dogs.

That'll do for now.

WHAT!?//

Is this world coming to?

That is the question at hand.

Ok, im browsing myspace and see that my little brother has a myspace. WHY? i do not know! he is 12 years old for god sake. At that age i was more interested as to how many birthday parties i was going to (the ones that usually involve bowling alleys and lolly bags). Then i search facebook and see that he has also got one of those! At the time when i signed up to facebook, i thought i was too young for it (was 16 at the time), but no! he has just gone in from the deep end at age 12, good luck brother. Although i'll give him a bit of credit for his myspace about me as it reads "semi-ranga".

Anywayyyyy, i now move onto more important matters. Whilst cruising myspace this afternoon (6 october 2009, for those of you playing at home), i find a page named "CULBURRA CREW". That term instantly depreciates the value of the town which i used to take pride in calling home. Its basically a group of pre-pubescent surfers that like to 'roll' in a crew/group/posse' as such. None of which have any ability in the wave riding department. It sickens me....no, actually, it shits me to tears, that, these kids have taken it into there own hands to use the towns name in such a inhumane manner.
i feel sick, someone pass me a bucket, please..........urghhhhhh.

THE STERN//

Went down crooky this arvo, wezz was the only one who went out while me, haydn, aj and bazz sat around watching. Was a good show he put on. French senior photog Sebastian Tupper alsoo snapped a nice shot. Anyway, here are some photos. (geez this 75-300mm lens is about as useful as a wet towel).

MAINY AGAIN//

Went shot some fun waves out mainy this arvo with wezz, so fun to be back out in the waves mixing it up. All was good while i was out there. Then when i got home, was cleaning my housing, then as i was wiping the top viewing window, it just popped out! so glad it didnt happen while i was out there! got some repairing to do! Heres some shots!

SNOW//

Went down the snow on thursday night and got back saturday night. Was pretty fun snow, with both days being really sunny, managed to shoot some photos aswell which was cool. One of the highlights of the trip was picking up a hitchhiker to take up the mountain. His name was 'bob sled the third' and told us he was in a band and whatnot, and was like his 4th time snowboarding. On the way up he made some pretty funny conversation with quotes like "man, you'd have to be the biggest drug addict if you were as rich as kerry packer". "you'd just go to the moon with 10 mates and smoke cones". So once we got up the mountain, we went our seperate ways. At the end of the day, we stopped to see this band playing at the bottom of perisher, then 'bob sled the third' was up on stage playing harmonica with this rock band, so good. There was also talk of 'bob' hitting the biggest jump at perisher, crazy! Anyway, enough of my ramblings, here are some shots.

RAH//

There were a few nice waves around on saturday morning, although it was really inconsistent because of the high tide. Was my first time out there shooting fisheye, so the shots are relatively rough....
