Throwing this one up with some trepidation given the crap thats been flying around here this week, but what the hell!! To misquote the Goatman, I'm just another old fart who likes to throw up his home movies.
Surfing is first, second and third about fun, always has been always will be. If you have to put your war face on to go for a splash, stay home or take up paintball. For what it's worth, If you surf or paddle with the wellbeing of those around you as an equal consideration to your own stoke, it doesnt matter what you ride, you belong.
This is a bit of a compilation with a smidge of new stuff, turn it up, try HD fullscreen or put your old fart glasses on like me.
Cheers

Another great Vid Sparx.

I'd move to Vicco if it wasnt cold 1/2 the year.. Mine and my wifes families live down there BUT that's probably what keeps all of the other soft nobs away like me to keep it so good for you guys.

That left you always surf looks like the worlds funnest local wave.

I really liked that Sparx. Nice work. I particularly liked your forehand cutties and your backdoor barrels.

Thanks guys
Put that one together at work yesterday, kinda like the high tech equivalent of doodling barrells on your school books. Lost a bit of quality because I was working off finished clips as opposed to the raw footage. Some of the stuff taken on top of the dunes came out bloody near microscopic. Twas a slow day and it kept me sane!
Yep that wave is my go to local spot, no big secret but lets just say its between Ocean Grove and Portsea The reason it is often uncrowded in my clips is because most of the footage is either taken late in the arvo, early morning or during the odd sly sickie. Any more than four people out there and I'll move off and surf the beachies.
Anyway I called it Railturns cos thats what I like to do. But thats just me. Its all good, short, long, old school, mat riding or naked body womping with a pair of flippers. Just have fun!
Cheers

Sparx is surfing well, turning on the rail, not leaning on the paddle. I appreciate it for what it is. Good surfing.

The SUPG avatar was suggested. My runner up choice was a little NSFW.
