Midlengths for Australia

7'6 Joy and 7'8 Cash-Yew headed to Australia.

I often wish I was headed back to Australia.

Look for the Cash-Yew at the "Shop Next Door" (formerly 6oz.)

7'8 Cash-Yew for Oz

Green Tinted Cash-Yew headed for Australia via California Surf Imports.

I believe quite strongly in the Cash-Yew after a Summer fling with my 7'11.

Australian Surf Expedition

Here are some photos from Noosa, Australia on a day when we had to go searching for waves. Simon Perini just sent these to me last night, and brought back a bunch of fun memories.

We heard there were waves at Granites, so we geared-up and embarked on a hike through the National Forest that was about the equivalent of the trestles trail in length. Then we arrived at Tea Tree, which was dead flat. Simon informed me that I could either keep hiking the trail to the next spot, or I could jump in the water and paddle around a little head-land and I would be there. Since the log was starting to feel pretty heavy, and the humidity was a factor, the water was starting to look really tempting... I opted for the paddle.

The first photo is me almost to Granites, about 2/3 of the way through the second longest single paddle I can recall. (The longest took place about 3 hours later when we had to paddle back, post-surf)

Although I was pretty spent (and certain I was going to get swallowed by a whale) it was well worth the journey once we arrived at Granites. Patchy, Andrew, Ellis and Matty Chojnacki were all there when I got there. And we surfed a reeling right point for a few hours in a beautiful, remote, tropical paradise. (While sitting in the lineup you can't see anything but tropical rain forest and the Pacific Ocean)

All glassed up, and ready to go.

Simon, with the backyard reshape hull I did with him, during my stay in Thirroul.

Hope it works, Simon! I already know what we're going to make next year. You're going to need to find a bigger old mal to strip the glass off, for the next one...
