The Down Under Diaries—TransWorld SURF Raids The Gold Coast
Monday March 9
How sick is the web cast!
8:24 Couple notes…
-This Quiksilver Pro Web cast rules! It’s raining on the beach but nice and cozy on my own couch—and I get replays!
-Whatever idiot (myself) previously said that Mick was having surfboard issue was obviously wrong.
-CJ and Damo are monsters on their backhands! Their coaching from Chris Gallagher is paying off in dividends.
-Parko has luck on his side after that last second barrel ride that put him over Chris Davidson. That should be scary for the other guys…
-Web announcers Martin Potter, Todd Kline, and Ronnie Blakey are ripping, The Snake is having a rough one…
6:28 PM Holy shit did I leave at a bad time! I’m kicking myself as I sit here watching Jihad and CJ go at it during round 4 of the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast in throating sandbar barrels at Coolangatta Beach—just in between Snapper and Kirra. On call since early this morning, the waves were junk all day but have since cleaned up. Cleaned up nice might I add…CJ just beat Jihad. Parko vs Davo…This is gonna be good! Exclusive photo gallery coming soon…Watch the event live HERE

eh, stu i actually like the story. gives me a feel for the scene and place that a ten second drainer at the bank doesn’t really capture. altho it’s sick in its own right.

More pictures please… especially of those lovely Australian ladies making there way through “college” one dollar at a time.

this is a great example of brotojournalism. part drunken slur typing and part professional photo uploads and documentation. well done

the crack about Surfer’s “wattered down” story is funny considering the tripe TWS is currently writing about AI.

Why is the camera shaking during Alana’s interview?
Hopefully justin’s just suffering from a nasty, shaky hangover.

if it makes you feel any better I had to walk to the sands at 8 in the morning completely buckled to apologize to the owner rick for my actions the night before.
