Ground control to major Tom

Ground control to major Tom
Ground control to major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
(Ten) Ground control (Nine) to major Tom (Eight)
(Seven, six) Commencing countdown (Five), engines on (Four)
(Three, two) Check ignition (One) and may Gods (Blastoff) love be with you.
This is ground control to major Tom, you've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare.
This is major Tom to ground control, I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
For here am I sitting in a tin can far from the world
Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do.
Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles,
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much, she knows
Ground control to major Tom, your circuits dead,
There's something wrong
Can you hear me, major Tom?
Can you hear me, major Tom?
Can you hear me, major Tom?
Can you...
Here am I floatin' 'round my tin can far above the world
Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do.
 

 
Take me to Your Leader

Happy New Year 2014

SCUMM RISE January 1st 2014





I was driving down the highway before the sun came up, and after deciding a early surf was worth more than a sore head, I was pleased to see only one other car parked and 3 guys standing on the lookout.





Well these guys were still celebrating , pissed as fart’s , and so after shaking their hands and wishing them all the best for the New Year , I was soon back at my van, changed and down on the beach by 5.30 am. The surf was only a couple of feet and fairly full , but with nobody else in the water , I made the most of it and decided to mix the surf craft between my trusty air mattress , kneeboard and handplane and gave my new Gopro 3+ a test with the low light , and with different camera angles

I saw the Sun rise from the water , the black swans fly over head to the lake, and heard those noisy cicadas start to rattle and croak from the hilltop and it was another hour before a young kid came running down the beach to end my solo session….nice way to start the year!

Happy 2014




PS. and when I got home , I was greeted by
my trusty guard dogs below,  Louie , Bella and Chewie.

Merry Xmas

and a Happy New Year from the SCUMM Crew..





With work commitments and a general lack of swell that happens at this time of year, we always have some alternatives to keep us in the water , with myself receiving a new Go Pro Black 3+ Camera…Thanks Santa!





I gave it a trial run on Boxing Day , and with not a lot of wave action, I decided to test it out whilst having a snorkel at my local reef.

This is shot with the new Super View setting, so its ultra wide and shooting at 1080 25fps…I am stoked with the quality of the vision, and big jump up from the Go Pro 2 ! Considering I started with the Go Pro 1 back in 2010, I have seen some dramatic improvements in these cameras over the last 3 years, so bring on 2014 .

The photo quality has jumped again with the new Black 3+

Werri Beach Report from Johnny Tofu

December 27

After smashing up my car and another blokes car that smashed into the car in front of him yesterday arvo' I was looking forward to a dawn surf at the point. Luckily my besty, Terry Towelling offered to pick me up for obvious reasons. We got there to see a crowd on the point and also on the beach. Tourist time. We jumped off the point right into a totally great vibe, with everyone,even those we didn't know and proceeded to mat-attack the biggest waves we've had on mats so far. Then as the tide dropped we rode the beach. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! Then just to top it off after a good breaky, I rang N.R.M.A. to see how much the access's would be for me to pay the other drivers for the crash and was told, 'you know we v'e been taking insurance fees out of your bank account, and your fully insured. And some people think there is no God. HA !

SCUMM Report from da Bolt….






Hi Guys

well seeing how it was flat I went to Sussex  for a dive.
 



met up with a crazy young girl called Kridtal who asked if she could join me on a dive...
We got into the water and shot a couple of leatheries which she took home to eat.
great viz and it was a shame so few fish around.

 



6 others spearing and No fish.
saw some big blue gropers and a Steve Irwin.

 



my little Fuji camera worked well so I will be trying to get some more shots.

i must take the new one out and attach it to my gun for some action shots...watch this space.

 


 
hope to score some waves next week in amongst all the tourists...aaaahhh.

catchya scumm buddies....da bolt
