Ripping Andrew great video
the 8'4'' is a good size for a hotdog SUP. Simon from DEEP is a great shaper I'd put him in the same class as WOODY
Very nice Casso cool colour effect , nice Reo at 2.16 , surfing well mate. Are you going to Merimbula ?
Nice vid Andrew.. Great looking boards and good surfing style.. Let's hope we see you and family in a few weeks at Merimbula.

G'day Andrew
My WOODY is 8'4'' x 27'' x 4'' I'm 91kg and get up to 95kg when in Fiji from all the food and beer.
I did my shoulder in 1994 surfing I had to get my mates to take my wetsuit off the doctor had to knock me out and it took him 3 attempts to put my shoulder back in as I was very solid at 32yo. I hat to say it Andrew but your shoulder is ####ed now you will never get back to 100% I used the best shoulder surgeon in Australia at the time Dr Kemp from Newcastle. I was out for 4 months and still have pain to this day.
So sorry about the shoulder Casso. Know exactly how you feel!
What wouldnt you do to be young and bulletproof again?
Hope everything pans out and youre back into it pronto.
Cheers
Sparx
Really nice looking board!
Even with the signature Casso grip job. That's got to make it worth more. ![]()
Isn't it funny how everyone's surgeon is the best in Oz, yet they aren't the same person....maybe the medical industry has as many state and national titles as SUP.
Personally, AMJ is my journal of choice...
Sheeet! I though I had the best surgeon in the industry!![]()
I reckon I am back to about 90% mobility and little to no pain. I do count myself lucky
I have heard some horror stories (thanks Wazza)!![]()
I had key hole surgery for stabilisation, torn rotator cuff and torn bicept tendon.
A lot depends on the extent of the damage and sticking to the rehab and pushing through the pain. ![]()

Think positive Casso. You'll be right!
Hey Casso,
Sorry to hear about your injury mate, having been through 2 heavy duty ops in less than 3 years I have some idea what your going to face.
Proceedures improve every week, a close friend of mine had a double disc replacement done through her navel as it doesnt impinge the back muscles and was up and firing 6 weeks after the op, truely inspiring stuff.
Knowing you I am sure you have done your homework so all will be good.
Kristi and I send you our best wishes for a safe op and a fast rehab.
Phill![]()

Ripping mate and don't listen to the negative sh!t, I snapped an achilles Mtn Biking and was told you'll never do do this and that, 12 months out, etc. Was back on the bike in 10 weeks and now stronger than ever. You will be DWing with us by end Summer!!
Casso, you've got your family and your kids. 6 months out of the water will give you the chance to coach them properly. You have an incredible opportunity rather than a negative experience. You're a legend, but you're not indestructible. Don't worry about the nay sayers,( I know you don't) as you are an intelligent man. Kick back do your remedial exercises and come back with avengance and a couple of grom's that have benefitted from your time out of the water.![]()
