Around The World In 80 Waves

The time has come for me to leave Australia for the last time, so I need to say a big thank you to Adam, Rossana, Romy, Spyda and Lily who have looked after, sheltered, fed and tolerated me since this particular strung out surfer arrived on their shores back in June still devastated from the loss of his surfboard.

Their house has really felt like a home from home and has allowed me to get back in the groove of my trip more than once. I know it wont be the last time I see them though, but guess that Spyda (who appropriately has a ball in his mouth in this shot) will have to find somebody else to play fetch with for the foreseeable future.

I’m going to miss you all.

A quick note to send lots of love to my father who has been in the wars once more.

He really hasn’t had any luck lately so I hope he is feeling better soon.

The London Surf Film Festival is currently running back in the UK, and friend of mine has produced a movie for the short film category. She has captured some great footage of the surf in Madeira, which picks up fantastic waves in the middle of the North Atlantic.

The prize for the category will be won by viewer votes, so please take a look for yourselves at Nell’s movie, and vote for the film if you can here.
