~ THE GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE ~ I’m not used to long days spent in the shaping bay. I’ll admit during the time I hung out with Thomas Bexon I didn’t work very hard. But, as I’ve previously said, just standing around watching tires me out. ...
From Foam to Fibreglass - A Harrison Roach Concept. Thomas Bexon cross-steps when he mows foam. He walks up and down the surfboard blank as though he’s riding his 10’0 on a perfect, never-ending peeler. He keeps a rhythm and pace that I find physically hard...
Here's a bike with an interesting past. They were to be Asia's answer to the moped. An alternative to the popularity of light weight bikes coming out of Europe in the 50's and 60's. What it really was, and now is, went a who lot further. The scooter is now ...
As a travelling surfer I always wonder whether locals at each different destination will accept my presence in their lineups. I usually receive an indifferent tolerance and wonder if ‘back in the old days’ I would have been chased out of the water, or worse...

We just had to show you the latest cover shot Deus has gotten. It's head and shoulders above the rest. Why? Because it's just that. A tight crop of our fearless leader and great friend. And you know what the best thing about it is? It's not the latest surf ...
We've been huddled in the bunker for a couple of months now as the wet washes over us. And sometimes those 4 close walls make it feels a whole lot longer. We need the rains. They feed the beautiful island of Bali its much need water for her crops of rice an...
Every now and then, the crowded points of Noosa appear differently. Something queer happens in the water after school holidays, publicised or dying swells, after surfers have had their fill. The crowds disappear. There are even odd occasions that I find mys...
Yeah we know it's been a little quiet on the Bali front. We blame it on the wet. To break the drought, actually it's more like floods here, last night we lined a few things up, like we do, down Temple side. Things kick started early with a screening of 'The...
