Minds In The Water

                                               Keep an eye out for Rasta's latest venture
                                                              " Minds In The Water"

                                                  I love the line from Howie Cook
                                         " Surfers not only have the gift of the ocean
                                                  we also have a responsibility"

Summer fun

                This is some footage that my daughter Rose took of me and one of my Rockits
               terrorising the tourists at Kings beach over the xmas holidays. The waves were
             tiny, onshore and mainly closing out but i still had some fun and got some exercise.
                  No children were injured during the making of this clip . Hope you enjoy!!

Come hell or high water

                                            Check out this trailer to Kieth Malloys new film
                                                           Come hell or high water

About taking a breath and kicking your feet

in the big blue sea. I love it!

         Took one of my Rockits for a swim yesterday and scored some great waves
         at Maroochydore while playing dodgems with the school holiday crowd.
         Swell is on the increase with a cyclone sitting way way out to the East of us.
         Hopefully it will hang around for the Pa and Ma bendall surf comp and
         the Caloundra surf festival over Easter. I am hoping to try out my new
         Lil Fishie handplane in this bigger surf. I am getting on to waves easily
         with my Rockit handplanes with just one fin on (makes it easier for me in
         the shallows) and want something with a little less volume for the bigger surf .
         Cant wait to see how it goes. Looking forward to some Easter barrels, Yeeha!!

                               just behind the handle through to the flyer where it flattens out with
                               a slight vee in the tail. Oiled using Bio Products natural exterior Oil
