In any pursuit there comes a time when, in order to achieve your goals, you have to step up, step out of your comfort zone, confront your emotions, and excel in the face of immense challenge. Check this out, one of the most fearsome waves on the planet, and these pro surfers will be facing [...]
Surfing – what to do when you suck
Surfing, for me at least, is a love hate relationship. A relationship where I love the ocean, and the stoke that comes from Surfing, and hate myself, because I suck. Sound familiar? Ok, maybe I’m being a bit hard on myself here, but I think most people who surf have, sooner or later, had to [...]
Yes, you can!
Chad Hamzeh shared a video with me today that was timely and inspiring, so I thought I’d share it too (thanks Chad). It seems we all get it a rut sometimes when it comes to staying focused and motivated. It also seems cliche saying you can achieve anything you set your mind to and [...]
Success!
Success isn’t the first word that springs to mind when you find yourself, as I did, unemployed. Even more so when the job you’ve held down for the past three years happens to be managing your own business! It’s a long and convoluted story, probably best left untold, but the fact is these things happen. [...]
Carbon Tax – Is Peter Ryan insane?
Peter Ryan’s (acting Premier, VIC) published remarks in the Herald Sun, after the government’s announcement of the Carbon Tax plan on Sunday, strike me as a shining example of the banality of the whole Carbon Tax/Climate change argument, and to a large degree the calibre of the people ‘leading’ it. I’ve said it a few times now [...]
Surfing, fathers and sons…
In my very first post on this site I alluded to being re-introduced to surfing after a twenty five year break, in a tropical paradise, by lifelong friends. It’s now, and in hindsight, that I realize just how significant that trip was…
Baza’s solar energy rebate backflip…
The NSW Government’s solar energy rebate, and it’s 60 cents per kilowatt hour feed in tariff – at the time – was a major influence in my decision to install Solar Panels. Seems the same can be said for every second house on our street. As I’ve alluded to in other posts I am skeptical [...]
Unsubscribe from everything
I’ve had cause recently to make some changes to my email addresses, both personal and business, and as a result I have, without hesitation, unsubscribed from everything coming in that’s not immediately pertinent to my current priorities. I don’t need to tell you how much of a distraction your email inbox can be – full [...]
Seventhwave Wetsuits – finally a wetsuit that fits.
Seventhwave Wetsuits delivered exactly what they promised, a high quality, custom fit steamer, ordered, made, and delivered in less than 10 days. I’m a tall, lanky Guy (190cm – 6″4″, 80kg). Since my early surfing days in Taranaki, New Zealand, when we decided that rugby jerseys were just not cutting it, both in terms of [...]

SOPA – Who said People can’t make a difference?
One of the fundamental tenants of freedom and democracy is Government by the People, for the People. The operative word being ‘by’. ‘By’ being synonymous with participation. The very real and emerging alternative is Government by the Corporation, for the Corporation. That’s called (and is the definition of) Fascism. The first truth is that the [...]
