Kristian Update
Well the last few months have been a bit different for me due to an injury. I somehow bent my extremely long neck in the wrong direction surfing locally and have been left with a disc bulge in the right hand side of my neck. Since this time I have been unable to surf. There was one occasion when I knew of a reef down the coast lighting up that I went out as I knew it would mainly be barrels so, Sam Boulton, Nick Omerod and myself, snuck down and scored some really fun waves. Brandon Waluew was shooting and Mitch Payne on the cam. Got some good waves with Nick showing some skills and really made me realise how good the guy is in the barrel. As for Sam….well I have surfed this spot on two other occasions and Sam really wants to get hurt out there I think. He has a somewhat desire to get in the wrong spot out there and has not survived a session without at least loosing a fin and snapping a leash. Sam conquered a few good barrels before taking a large freeeeeeefall onto the cungi take off and got preety much eaten alive, ha ha! Nick and I continued to surf assuming he had gone in and it was only when we saw a drowned rat paddling back out we heard he actually had been spewing cause he almost drowned and was in against the rocks for the past 45min. Here are a few shots that have been put up of the session on Mitch Payne’s Space, maybe they might appear in his next film…

Headlanders has been getting some really fun waves for the last few comps with the young guys from down the coast like Cody showing some tidy skills. Sam Boulton won the last comp on the weekend and was surfing really well in his last heat smashing two smooth and big air reverses and getting a screaming barrel to invert which had all us watching realizing why his board is starting to fill up with stickers! All who were there would like to thank Frank the red head Tank for the day and the mums that helped judge and help out as usual. That’s all for me from the past few months…
