Pier Sliding sequence

Nice piece of editing by rhymes..

Lone Soldier

The swell has been pumping for the last week.. So on sunday the wind swung offshore and i rolled down to brighton to snap a few shots.. Sadley, i wasn't heading out cos i have an avulsion injury to my 4th and 5th metatarsils (my ankle)..

What a day, there was a solid 4-5ft swell rolling in and just one lone soldier out back surfing.

Out back by the way was at least 50m past the end of brighton pier, and i watched about 6 guys attempt the paddle and get nowhere. The best option would have been to jump off the end of the pier at high tide..

I was almost to excited to take pictures, but heres a few shots:

Brighton Explosion week 2

Testing out a top secret revolutionary board design.

Shaping Land Logs.

Cake day activity # 1.

Best excecuted when the swell is minimal, and the onshores are extreme.



I was feeling like making somthing with my hands, so today with a little help, drew up a pattern of a cruisey sidewalk surf machine.



Trim out the basic shape.



Sand it down and smoothen up the rails.



Choose some wheels..



Some havnt been used since '79 (note the price tag)



Attach them to the board.



now to polish it off and grip it up to put it to the test.
