BROWN PAPER BAG

2011-12-03T04:09:00.000-08:00

USUALLY, A BROWN PAPER PAPER BAG CONJURES UP IMAGES OF A LONG NECK CONTAINING YOUR FAVOURITE BEER.

YOU STOP OFF AT THE BOTTLE SHOP ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK OR AFTER A SURF. LID OFF AND AND DRINK IT DOWN.

DOESN'T GET MUCH BETTER.

BUT, THIS BROWN PAPER BAG TO ME, IS AS EXCITING AND JUST A LITTLE DIFFERENT. THIS ONE YOU DON'T GET FROM THE BOTTLE SHOP.

NO, IT ARRIVES IN THE MAIL.

AND, IF YOU HAVE HAD ONE ARRIVE IN YOUR LETTER BOX THEN YOU KNOW THE FEELING. PURE EXCITEMENT.

I HAD TWO ISSUES OF 'GRASS ROOTS'

ARRIVE THIS WEEK.

I CAN'T WAIT TO READ THEM COVER TO COVER. IF YOU ARE THIS WAY INCLINED, THEN YOU WILL KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT.

GET INSPIRED AND START READING

'GRASS ROOTS'.

YOU WILL LEARN A THING OR TWO.

I can't 'Save the Whales', but I can change my world.

Every little bit counts.

2011-11-01T17:24:00.001-07:00

I agree!

GENEROSITY OF SPIRIT

2011-09-21T00:03:00.000-07:00

Never ceases to amaze me,

the generosity of spirit of some people and their giving nature.

Seth Pettersen is one of these people.

He has been so, since that first email

when I pestered him to use

one of his songs for 'Little Black Wheels'.

He continues to give, we just received a bunch

of goodies for the Waters Clan.

Tees, Singlets, CD's and Stickers for us all,

it felt like Christmas Day.

If you want to purchase any of these, then

go to = http://www.sethpettersen.com/

Thank you Seth, you are a champion.

Your Mum would be proud.

TRIP

2011-05-24T22:05:00.000-07:00

http://vimeo.com/19735120

Went on a trip with Johnny Be Good some time ago.

We drove a lot and looked for waves as you do.

But, to our dismay we always seemed to turn up to

a dropping swell and the devil wind.

Sometimes, you just don't get what you want.

Oh well!

I put this clip together of Johnny for his sponsor Patagonia.

Although it is short on wave quality, I think it highlights Johnny's fluid lines and wanderlust which suits Patagonia's ethos just fine.

Enjoy!

Thank you Johnny.

Thank you Patagonia.

Thank you Ball boys.

THE HAPPY HORSE

2011-05-09T23:19:00.000-07:00

Since releasing 'Little Black Wheels', I have had people

pass comment on the movie for a variety of reasons.

Some want to talk about the people, the places,

others about the boards or even the music.

Alot of people's favourite in the music department is

'The Happy Horse' by Beau Young.

A song written for kids, but appealing

to adults because of it's simplicty.

Plus, it makes you want to dance and have fun.

Isn't that what life is all about?

If you are interested in listening to or

purchasing some of Beau's music go to

www.animalsrock.com

Go, Beau and Ange!

MINDS IN THE WATER

2011-05-04T19:35:00.000-07:00

My Family and I had the opportunity to go see

'Minds in the Water' last weekend.

A somewhat serious film with a definite enviromental message.

But don't let that fool you. There are some lighter and

funnier moments that give it a nice balance.

What an enjoyable evening! Good film, good food

and music from the cast.

Nice to see some of your friends doing great things.

Congratulations to Justin Krumb, David Matty Rastovich, Howie Cooke, Chris Del Moro, Hilton Dawe, Shannon Sol Carroll, OJ Newcomb and Will Conner.

Good on you all. Enjoy!

MUSIC

2011-04-21T17:00:00.001-07:00

Music, I love it! Music, Can I play it? Not a note.

But I know what I like.

This is what I am listening to at the moment

Always great when you get a new Album and get to sit back

and listen to it and find all the little gems.

Especially, when it is your friends music. There seems to be a greater connection when someone you know is getting their stuff out there.

Congrats, Boys!

Thanks, Mick

KORDUROY FILM FESTIVAL 2

2010-08-23T22:10:00.000-07:00

http://www.korduroy.tv/virtual-film-fest-2

My good friend Kristian Spencer is being featured as part of the 2nd Korduroy TV Film Festival. Luckily, I was invited to submit a piece that summed up the Surfing lifestyle and without a thought sent this one over.

I think this edit has been people's favourite since 'Little Black Wheels' was released. I guess, it touches a nerve with people for many different reasons. For me, I like the fact that Kristian is unsponsored, can ride a barrel like I wish I could, he drinks Coopers Pale Ale, he cultivates a beard thicker than most guys could ever hope to, he has a dog named Fluffy and who wouldn't like to catch a fish that is bigger than most people's fish surfboards.

Thanks, Kristian Spencer.

Thanks to Cyrus Sutton for the invite -

GIFT FROM A FRIEND

2010-06-23T23:07:00.001-07:00

I received this from a friend of mine a couple of weeks ago.

A pleasant surprise in my Inbox at the end of a day.

My initial reaction was to laugh, but the more I looked at it, the more I realised

it summed up our Family on this trip,

more than a photo or something I could've drawn.

It's the little things in the drawing that make it special.

And, therein lies it's appeal for me. I like little things.

Let me know your thoughts and whether we should

make it into a Tee shirt design?

Thanks to Ed Lewis from The Leucadia Project

for his generosity and continued support.

COVER OF THE YEAR

2010-05-24T18:55:00.000-07:00

I think this is one of the best covers I have seen in a while. Great, that is also on the best mag around at the moment. Surfing World has a long tradition in Australia and at this time I think they are publishing the best mag in the world.

Just my opinion, but I think their are others who agree.

I have been a reader of SW since I was a youngster, and to get as favourable a review as this is a highlight. To have it written by one of the surfers from the film is a real treat, and the words are humbling.Thanks Dave and SW.

ASL Review

2010-05-23T22:46:00.000-07:00

The guys at ASL were kind enough to review 'LBW'.

I am grateful to get a plug and they were very kind to review it favourably. I guess it isn't the sort of film they would usually plug. As they said, "short on aerial wizadry', but hopefully makes up for it with some heart? Thanks ASL

'BIRTHRIGHT'

2010-03-07T16:28:00.000-08:00

Inspiring and humbling! I had tears in my eyes.

Next time you are about to have a whinge about the Internet being to slow, your Soy Latte being too frothy or your life being too busy. Don't!

Michael and Sean. Thankyou.
