  Yesterday I met a man who ruled the world in his sleep. A light southerly, a golden half hour before the crowds. 2 foot at the north end. Chop. CTB looks pretty tame today.         Pennies rising with the sun. The biggest bunch of 6am I’ve seen. Nestled into the pack...

    The Corso 6am and 2 girls push their silicon butts at an Instagram photo. The sky was dull, and hypothetical and falling one cloud at a time. It could have been the Willie Nelson, could have been the wine…   The 609 Drinks Rebel Express pass me on the ramp, flanking the Gladiator...

I met the infamous Spaniard today. He’s on the front of the bus. I’m hanging by my finger nails to the back.   Lost, lost souls cry to Hell in the wind. “Let us in, let us in” I’m also in awe of Brendan Maher, who just completed the 33km swim from Catalina to California...

It seems unimaginable that our friend, Nigel Scozzi, who taught many young locals how to save themselves and others on our beaches, would have a freak surfing accident at Queenscliff leading to life-changing spinal cord injuries. But six months ago, this actually happened. Nigel was surfing with his son and was found unconscious in the...

Faahany backs up after an early hour adventure. Smelt of pubs and wormwood scrubs. The smell of brown leather. A takeaway curry. Too tricky to put on a wetsuit, I watch him for 10 minutes trying to put on his cap. Halfway around the world, daughter Brooke channels him in a London pub. Talk of...
