I'm in Sydney now
If you've been looking for me on the Coast I'm not there. I've gone to the big smoke.
Mum, me and Dad have moved into our new place on the Northern Beaches, sweet !
Dad is stoked to get back to some of his favourite left handers after the right hand point dictatorship on the Goldie.
Mum is doing OK getting around in a new city and I'm just hangin out with the cousins and the family in Sydney.
I'll be back on the coast for Xmas so don't fret peeps, see you soon.

Indy or a Claytons Indy
I went to my first Indy on the Gold Coast on the weekend. Or at least it was a Claytons Indy (the one you have when you're not really having an Indy - no points race).
We stayed on track at granny and pop's place at main beach all weeknd, it was cool.
I saw fast flying planes really close and really fast cars (go the V8's) and even saw some things that mum used to feed me from (dad was on the look out for them to let me know, thanks dad)
Had my electronic noise cancelling earmuffs on so i could hang out on the balcony checking out the scene with cousin Jack and all the friends who came over to see it too.
Dad seemed a little sick every morning, mum mentioned something about a 'hat trick' but I thought that was for soccer goals or cricket wickets not nights out till 3am.
I got some pics I'm getting dad to get off the camera.
Love it....

Hey ! How about a nappy, bonds, gap kids contract !?
Come on, I'm cute you know it.
If your the CEO of a major brand you can get me out of my sleeping bag for a bit less than most supermodels, but not much.
Who wants to pony up ?

We lost a good mate this week.
The godfather of Maldivian surfing, Tony Hussain Hinde died suddenly this week surfing at Pasta Point.
This is a great loss for Maldivian surfing, the awesome crew (some more like adopted sons) who worked with him and mostly for his children Ashley and Mishal. His goes to his lovely wife Zulfa who recently passed away after a battle with cancer.
He died doing what he loved and he will forever be walking out into Pasta Point perfection.
Tony over 18 or so years and 6 trips to the maldives I experienced the pure joy you lived everyday that comes from a man completely at peace, happy and in tune with his life and his choices.
I lived my best surfing and many of my best life memories simply and easily in a very special place in the middle of the Indian Ocean.
Because of your generous spirit, sense of humour and professional approach many of us grateful travelling surfers owe you a lifestyle karma thankyou greater than you could ever have known.
Peace mate.Carl, Penny and Max.

Tributes paid to the Maldivian surf legend Tony who died yesterday
Tony Hussain Hinde, the famous surf legend died on Tuesday afternoon in a freak accident whilst surfing at Pasta Point in Male' Atoll.
Tony is credited with introducing surfing to the Maldives in 1973. In fact most Maldivians think he is a Maldivian but is an Australian who has bridged that cultural gap. Tony and his surfboard were serendipitously shipwrecked in Maldives almost 35 years ago.
He is most famous for running the surf school in Tari Village, now Dhonveli Beach.
He once said "Hardly a sunrise goes by that I don't thank Allah for that shipwreck. I paddle into the see-through waves. The coral bottom seems to bend up to meet me. Carving across my first few waves, I have to tear my eyes away from the reef below in order to beat the curl above. Not that I'm complaining."
The surf community in the Maldives will greatly miss him.
On behalf of DO readers, we convey our deepest sympathy to Tony's family and friends. May he rest in peace.
