Wipeout Pt 1..

Just found this old sequence of me from a outer reef in Hawaii a few years back... Snapped my brand new 9'6 Dennis Pang Gun on this wave and had a long swim in... Oh well.. Was fun though.

Thanks Hank Foto for the shots..

Road to the Eddie Ceremony Part 1

Hi guys.. Well i was lucky enough to get on the Alternate list this year for the In Memory of Eddie Aikau Event... Although i am too far down the list to get a chance to surf if it does run they do have a opening ceremony each year which is just so cool to be apart of.. So me and Joss have set off for about 10 days of Hawaii time to be there for the Ceremony.. This will be my 3rd time on the list and one day i hope to get on the main list and have the honor to surf in the event ... We will be trying to post a video blog daily to see whats happening out here on the Nth Shore leading up to the event. The Sunset event of the Triple Crown kicks off tomorrow and with a solid 10-12 ft swell forecast for Sunday hopefully we can entertain you while we are here.. Take care and see you soon... JM...

Here is PT 1....

The PELAGIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well it's been a while everyone ..Sorry it has been a busy few months with travelling and getting ready for a wedding. But i did just manage to sneak away for 2 weeks to the Mentawai's Island's in Indonesia for a SUP Surfing trip with a great crew.. Jason Kenworthy organised the trip and put together a epic bunch of people and on a world class boat the Pelagic. On the Boat we had Dave Kalama , Chuck Patterson, Slater Trout, Connor Baxter, Dave Boehne, and Talia Gangini plus Editor of SUP Magazine Joe Carberry and Videographers Brent Deal and Bryce Lowe-White and Jason was Shooting stills along with his assistant Kevin Voegtlin.. So we had all angles covered.

I'm not going to go into too much detail about the trip as it will be covered in SUP Magazine and also hopefully made into a cool litte doco. But we did get some fun waves and everyone was surfing great and going for it.. Was a great mix of Youth and Experience.

What i did want to touch on was the Boat and crew.. What a great way to see the Mentawai's and access all areas and waves. The Pelagic and its Captain Griff made us so welcome and the crew on the boat were Epic. There was enough food that u couldn't eat it all even if you tried.. And with a crew like ours that is hard. There were Bintang's a plenty and good times.. If you are thinking of a boat trip i highly recommend these guys. Especially if u are looking to take your SUP's Griff has it dialled with where to go and how to stay away from the crowds.. We didn't surf with another boat the whole trip which was so good.. There is also a Jet Ski and Smaller Skiff on the Boat to zip you in and out of the breaks and to go and check spots as well...

So if u get the urge go and check out http://www.pelagic-charters.com/... I guarantee you wont be disappointed. So it's now back to reality and time to get my ass into some heavy training. Molokai will be here before i know it.. Take care JM
