Is that camera on?

Yep…we are filming mate!


SCUMM and small Gilligan’s Island.





After much discussion and with the knowledge that their wasn't a lot swell to ride,  we decided to head down to old favorite and swell magnet, Gilligan’s Island 















Oily and da Bolt thought it would be quicker to walk out and jump off the front of the Island, whilst I paddled from the beach….after discovering that there is a lot of obstacles ( rock’s) to climb over to actually get to the waters edge,  they soon was in the line up with me…and vowing to never to that again!





Well it was little , but not too small and with low tide it was breaking down the side of the reef over the weed beds…perfect waves for finless surfcraft like a surf mat












Paul decided to wear his sunglasses as it was so small, there was no way he would lose them…yeah right and after the first bomb they soon disappeared from his melon!





da Bolt decided to surf out the front on the those ‘man size’ waves, but was soon surfing with his SCUMM brothers and enduring the occasional drop-in or wave sharing as we like to call it












Oily was practicing his cannonball manoeuvre


 










and was filming with his Go Pro 3 black as seen below , made this great video from the mornings fun

I also had my Go Pro 2 recording on my head as usual

Fun times as always …SCUMM Style!

The Creek Entrance

Its still there





Still flowing out to sea and giving us a great lefthander to play on.




My son Curtis and I surfed it a couple last week, and even with the school holidays , it was fairly empty .


The locals have always called this break ‘Hot Curls ‘






a closely guarded secret





even with the local Wallaroo’s





A small wave I had matted with the Krypto

Super Fun on a surf mat





Curtis below riding the Omni

Robin Thomson was also waving the flag for SCUMM last weekend





and scored some great waves down at Ocean Beach , Western Australia.

Pae Poó Surfing

Crystal Clear Day’s





With Paul and Family on holidays in Fiji , we were down to just Phil, da Bolt and myself to wave the flag for SCUMM.


The swell was small but super clean with a brisk offshore wind blowing , so after a quick drive around , we found a nice little bank all to ourselves with plenty of little barrels to play in.





I rode my timber paipo , whilst da Bolt and Phil both rode their Krypto surf mats and we were able to slide  inside  these little crystal cylinders. Heaps of fun even though it small !

Some video from the morning

I have been asked a few times about my timber paipo (sqiuz stix)….its 4’5” long x 15”wide










made from Paulownia wood by Pete Harrington










, its has a fair bit of rocker to it , with a distinctive hull bottom with flutes running off the last third of the board.







My son also owns one of his Alaia’s , which has no rocker







It has bevelled rails and a distinctive bottom concave





These sled’s were both made from Paulownia wood and originally coated with a polyurethane and for maintenance , I oil the boards regularly with a mixture of Linseed and Pure Gum Turpentine
