Love Hate // Editorial |
 | 22 October 2015
Love - read downwards:
SUPs are unreal fun
And you’ll never hear me say that
Only if you’re riding a shortboard
True happiness can be obtained
Because
It’s all one ocean and should be shared
And it’s not true that
You’d have to be an absolute kook to ride a SUP
Some guys can ride them really well
Even if
Those big boards look awkward and cum ... [ more ] |

Championship Controversy // Event |
 | 21 October 2015 “Interference – white on yellow, interference white on yellow” are not words you want to hear over the PA system when you are wearing a white shirt in the most important heat on the Australian SUP calendar.

Both claiming first big race
All the latest stand up craft on display
That were sure to set a record pace.
All the standard sledging and laughs
With north and south the biggest battl ... [ more ] |

I Love Downwinding // Session |
 | 13 April 2012
I love downwinding. Once upon a time I didn't. I thought it was a bit lame. Coming from a surfing background, I always figured it looked like too much hard work for not enough gain - why would anybody go through all that just to ride a half foot piece of onshore chop?

Get a (Fancy) Grip // Technique |
 | 25 March 2012 Ever wondered what's involved in creating those fancy deck grip designs that some crew (with way too much time on their hands) apply to their pride and joys? Watch Casso whack one on his new DEEP 12'6" and check out the end result. Looks pretty nifty, hey?
