South West Shorebreak

Alex Turoy — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 05:30:46 +0000

Headed to a fun beach in the Margs region last week with Mike Honeybone, while the waves were pretty dismal and the wind was semi-onshore we still managed to have a little bit of fun in the shorepound.

Return of the Full King - Movement Issue 26- Bang

Alex Turoy — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 23:48:45 +0000

Back in August i was in Sumatra for a surfing holiday, on the first night as we were driving in we saw this massive dark shape and a set of lights on the shore line. The next morning we ventured back to check it out, turned out to be a massive container ship that had run aground on the reef only days earlier. With no major damage to the hull crew were still on board carrying out their duties waiting for a salvage team from China to come down.

We saw this as an amazing photo oppurtunity as there was a small reef wedge breaking off the keel of the boat. Shot some images from land to begin with but paddled out about halfway through the session to shoot some water photos. Was the most surreal experience swimming around next to this massive container ship, definately a once in a lifetime oppurtunity and something we wont forget anytime soon.

Anyway heres a bunch of the images from the morning, riders are Chris Onton, Dean Fergus, Tom O’Brien, Brett Ayres and Jono Russell

Rottnest Bombie 26-10-08

Headed over to Rottnest yesterday morning on Adam Luehmans boat. With the wind being a little stronger than predicted waves didnt get as good as we thought they would be. The lumpiness in the swell made it hard for the guys to tow into the wave properly. There was still some size around though and between driving the boat and dodging lumps i managed to snap off a couple photos. Alex Halsey, Adam Luehman and Brendon Backshall in this post.

Mandurah Wedge 13-10-08

Alex Turoy — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 23:41:13 +0000

Got up early a couple weeks ago and headed down to Mandurah hoping to score the wedge on. Turned out to be pretty good so i got in the water first thing and tried a new angle i’ve been wanting to shoot, was a bit hit and miss and a little bit of hard work when the bigger sets came but has some potential and definately something i will try again. Also shot some photos from land after getting out of the water. Riders include Brendon Backshall, Ben Player, Tom Smith, Kim Feast, Josh Garner and Mike Honeybone.

Sumatran Photos 1st set

Alex Turoy — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 10:44:02 +0000

Hey all

Just returned from a couple weeks in Sumatra and a week in Bali. While it wasnt pumping waves everyday we still had our fair share and surfed every day, even managed a surf next to a 200 foot container ship that had run aground on a Sumatran reef. While i cant post those photos i can post some from the waves we got in the first few days and some of the surrounding scenery. Will post more photos from later in the first week and the whole second week in a few days time, till then.

Enjoy

So this is Jakarta, its hot, muggy, crowded, big and convoluted but still pretty fun to explore. Just nearing the end of our first day here, off to Sumatra tomorrow where we should get waves for the next few days.
