Good from a far but far from good.

So as you can tell its been ages since Ive had a chance to upload my blog. Yes Ive been lazy and just couldn't be asses, but with traveling upto Cape Tribulation with no internet or signal and then surfing all day in Byron you can understand why to some reason.

Im back in the dull likes of the UK and on the hunt for work. Although at the same time gets me to meet new people and be able to continue editing photos. Trying my best to find a job in a failing country is easier said then done. Hopefully one city or town will have something to hold we shall see.. Had a little roadie to Plymouth which was good fun, more surprises then originally expected must be said. Odd town  with the similarity of Leicester but with the seaside..

I miss the surf, I miss the warmth, I miss the people... I miss Australia. Needless to say its good to see my friends at home and meet certain 'new' people :)

Heres to the Future! Dont write it, ride it, enjoy it!

So.. Just an update, 2months left in OZ and im hoping to extend my trip to the end of July now.

Im due to leave the beautiful town of Torquay with its freezing UK conditions on the 25th of June. Im sad but at the same time looking forward to some sun and good swells. Firstly hitting Cape Trib with a friend from the UK for 2 weeks then Byron for 2weeks, Sydney for a day or two and home.

Although this door will close, many are due to open.. Chances of doing a Ski season with my friend TJ...http://www.stompnz.co.nz/ http://tjsayswhatsupworld.blogspot.com/ who happens to own the longest blog name in the world. Or hit up Canada or even look to return to Oz on a student Visa to score an internship.

The world is what you make of it....

Its been around 2 weeks since the RipCurl Pro has ended, I can honestly say that I think my liver has finally recovered from the mass excess of alcohol consumption in a weeks period. Ive not drank that amount of booze in a while let alone spend so much on it! Enjoy the photos, I was lucky enough to get a photo with Alana which I'm sure every guy (and some girls) would have a poster up on their walls of... Sadly wasn't able to get any other pro photos.

Well Ive decided to also extend my visa to just a holiday visa, extending my time in Oz till the end of July/ Aug now.. Purely because I want to get as much tax back as possible and sort it all out in Oz than back in the UK... Fingers crossed for a new MacBook Pro..

Enjoy!

p.s click to enlarge for the best image!

Just a little video I stole from a guy called Kinderderpischa from wannasurf.com.

With the thought of moving home around the corner, a little something to make the inevitable more appetising. Some nice clean waves from Devon being the plus.... the 6-7 degree air temp... not so much. Hopefully the new F-Bomb will help.

Juc side exercizen

 G-Zus Christ...... Taken me forever to get back onto this! Last time I checked I was moving into a new house.... Well that happened around a month ago. BUT no internet, little on the down side but where theres a will theres a way.

Once again messing with my lack of skills in the photography department. All the photos have now been mounted on wood and glassed... Look pretty cool and will follow on here.

3months till I have to leave Oz now and not keen on the idea still but now Im a full on Canadian! Managed to get my Citizenship App granted a few weeks back so now Vancouver's on the cards and a potential return on a working holiday visa on my Canadian passport.
I have a sneaky feeling April is going to be a good one, Bells kicking off and the parties to follow it!! I think Summers officially over now too.. Gutted brav.

Video of some art work on Shaunys longie to come too among many other bits.
