puberty blues
on my way to one foot onshore waves this morning i was deep in conversation with my good friend dixon about girls and how badly he struck out last night. I explained to him his game was flawed, and the chances of having a successful sexual encounter in town after hes had 13 bourbens for pre drinks was minimal at best. He then went on to say one of the quotes of 2009
"fuck man i can't root a chick sober...sware i won't last"
"fuck man i can't root a chick sober...sware i won't last"

Mitchell Twos Tomkins
If you have not seen "Two" by todd barnes it may be becasue your to young to own a vcr player, if you do own a vcr player, grab your copy or borrow one throw it on, fast forward to tonka's section.... sick song, sick rolls, crazy marn, good fing to do.
"In need this"
The coastline of Wollongong is home to many famous breaks (whalebone, Nuns, North Reef, Shitties, lacerations, humphries, the alley, the bowl, rino's, 2nd's, Creekies, spot x, giggles ect) but the stand out and the wave that really gets everyone talking is the world class break "Acids".
Acids being my local has in recent years been a fickle beast that continues to shatter my dreams week in week out. I could only wish it continued to break like it did in the glory years of Ad Heart and Saddog bray in the late 90's early 2000's. I estimate the 90% of my time in the water has been spent out on this patch of cungi. I don't exactly know the point of this post but acids if your listening.... come back to me "I need this".
acids circa 2004. 1-2ft glory

Ryan Mattick.... the poor man's bryce thurston
It not always fair to make comparisons between people, but when the idea comparing these two icons of Australian Bodyboarding, Ryan Mattick and Bryce Thurston, and the similarities they posess, i thought why not.
As my careers advisor said to me in year 12 when i had no idea of what potential job i could fall into, "Jack, people change jobs at least 4 or 5 times on average throughout their lives" and these two men have stuck true to this wise statement.
Once they were semi-pro bodyboarders with a handfull of sponsors, magazine shots and video sections. They then made a unique move from the water to behind the lens to shoot for various dvd's and magazine projects. And then, the final change of career has found them both entering the wetsuit market with their brands agent 18 and Zion.
But one thing that has stood out to me is that ryan seems to always be just that little bit behind in making these career moves which got me thinking.... does ryan mattick want to be bryce thuston?.......

Ripping
I picked myself up a copy of riptide today and was shocked to see that this very blog has coped a little plug from frames rates and saddog in their interview.
This got me thinking... riptide has given crazy some mad exposure, even if it is only a little URL in the back pages, and yet few of my finest posts have been slagging this very magazine... sorry riptide enjoy my $11.95

Back in action
Tomorrow will be a good day. After being disqualified from driving for 6 months I will be back on the road again, and a changed man after serving my time.
I am all for being crazy, but deciding to get behind the wheel after a night out is not supported by crazy the movie and now means I am a tried and convicted criminal.
In tribute to my return to the road I found the most cliché song I could to revel in this moment.

blog wars
after engaging in a conversation a few months back about the internet, blogs and bodyboarding with a few mates i stumbled across what is an alarming yet oh so common occurrence... people leaving comments on forums/blogs under the name anonymous and loosing their minds.
example a- a blog from the roast which was then comment by......
Anonymous said...
I AM NONE SUCKS. TODD BARNES SUCKS. THOM ROBINSON SUCKS.
I think spelling tom which a h pretty much sums up that crowd.
Not as clever as they want to be.
Next years range will include a pseudo-intellectual satirical comment on the state of affairs. It will be as interesting as a Leunig cartoon (who also sucks). They will probably hiphenate some letter of the i am none too, i would guess the 'o'.
Thrash'd is going to suck.
December 12, 2009 8:12 PM
this fella has jumped on there and gone to town, obviously has some skills with the english language, but yet hasn't put his name to his bold words. I write people of and things of on this all the time i.e. riptide, but mostly its tongue in cheek for cheap laughs. So I say to all you blog/forum commenter’s keep the entertainment coming, consider going out and surfing instead of trawling forums and blog comments, and also put you name to it so people can find what your all about and cut you down to size in an all out blog/forum war.

Riptide: How to- score a bad cover with Dave Winchester
Quite clearly the main draw card of purchasing a bodyboarding magazine such as riptide has to do with its prestigious "How to Section".
If you have been out in the water and just can’t quite nail that full rotation air reverse, let one of the pros run you through the theory of it in a few hundred words of text… and there is no doubt your well on your way to success.
Today ‘Crazy’ in collaboration with Riptide magazine brings you “How to tail bog a reverse, not make it and it end up on the cover, with Dave Winchester”
First of all you need to be in a prime location such as South oz and be surfing freakishly good and have a photog on hand to capture your glory moment.
Second of all you need to win the riptide peer poll which guarantees you the cover shot for the peer poll issue.
Thirdly whilst shredding and doing large inverts and air reverses throw in a reverse bash off a section, bog your tail, not make it and paddle back out slightly disappointed
Fourthly after the trip you wait in anticipation hoping and wishing that one of those big moves ends up on the cover and NMD might re-consider your contract after this cover and pay you more than what a 16 year old child working full time a Macca’s earns.
Fifthly (is that even a word?) you get word from the gang at riptide you have nailed the cover and you celebrate accordingly until you open your email to discover what shot they have run…
You open to find that possibly your worst wave/move of the session has been thrust upon the cover in all its glory, you then proceed to shake your head and are puzzled and slightly dumbfounded at the events that have just unfolded.

Laggers... all of em'
I am now going to attempt to write a critique of the bodyboarding industry's time management skills.
Time and time again you are promised magazines to arrive on shelves, products to be in stock, DVD’s to be released, podcasts to be available to download and even premiers to be in a certain month of the yr... But in some form of unspoken ritual, bodyboarding always has to have the lag factor.
Examples are as follows:
*Movement magazine will always have a lag time of approx 1-2 weeks before it’s available in newsagents
*The new range of Redback bodyboarding equipment as advertised in Riptide magazine was not available at my local bodyboarding store
*The "Mitch DVD" was released a whole year late…. which Mitch Rawlins actually spoke about in his riveting introductory interview on the DVD as some form of comedic piece, and then had the hide to ask at the end of the interview "did that sound gay?" (To which I replied back to my TV screen, yes)
*The Dave-Winny-mini-series podcasts were due in October, the first episode was realeased mid November.
And finally the CRAZY premier was promised for December.... and now in an exclusive press release I break the news that it will be in January.
I am afraid that I, a punctual man the prides himself for not lagging has fallen into the trap of making broken promises. For this I deliver my sincerest apologies.

ok lets talk professions, if you're a bouncer there a 99% chance you're a cunt. I thought I'd share a convertsation a friend of mine had with a bouncer early on in the night of some post uni exam celebrations, enjoy.
Bouncer: how many beers you had
Perry: yeh fooor
Bouncer: sorry, how many?
Perry: yeh 6 pack
bouncer: you just said 4.... no chance
Perry: yeh 4 out of the 6pack i bought
perry walks away sheepishly to the next club

crazy pranks
The photo above is me getting a blow torch wake-up.
Back in the day tension pranks were emulated by most young bodyboarders and there really is no better thing than a well executed wake-up.
This one involved my friend lighting a deodorant can as it was pointed in the direction of my hair and me waking up mid-prank and coping the flames in the face. Crazy! and crazy thing is that the only injury I received was a set of slightly singed eyebrows

Premier BABY
shattered dreams
This morning I stumbled across this message in my facebook inbox, well worth a read… my mate’s dreams of a mad 21st up in smoke:
Morgan Hives November 10 at 12:21am
At approximately 14:16pm on the 9th November 2009 as I was urinating in a railway toilet at Hurstville, my phone rang. My initial thought was that it would just be a distressed 18yr old female begging me to reconsider the current relationship mishap i was enduring, but what followed was far worse than that.
Upon answering my trusty Nokia 1209, I was shocked, appalled to an extent, to realise that the male voice on the other end of the wireless was in fact my worst nightmare. THE OWNER OF THE INLINE SKATING RINK!
To make things easy for you kind folk, I will now retell the conversation in-depth.
"Hello"
"Is this Morgan?"
"Yes"
"This is (Let's just call him Bob) Bob from the skating rink, how are you?"
"I'm currently urinating so im feeling quite relieved. How are you?"
"I'm very well. Mr Hives do you happen to use Facebook very often?"
"Yes, I am addicted to the internet"
"Just as I suspected. And did you by any chance happen to create an event page for the night in which you hired out my skating rink"
"Um.....Yes"
"Interesting. How many guests did you invite?"
"I dunno about 450. Why do you care? You can come dude I don't give a shit. Afterall it is your joint"
"That is not the issue young man. This issue is that I specifically told you no more than 150 people were allowed to attend and NO ALCOHOL"
"And....?"
"Can I make it anymore clearer Mr Hives. I'm cancelling your party"
"No you ain't"
"Yes I am"
"No you ain't I already payed you the money homeboy"
"The money is not an issue sir. The issue is that if someone gets injured out there whilst under the influence of alcohol, then I got a big court case on my hands"
"Ah shit"
"Yes Mr Hives. Shit indeed"
"So what now?"
"Well the party is cancelled and I will refund your money"
"Come on dude that is lame. Even you know how rad this party will be. I promise no one will drink"
"I can't take that risk mate. Plus I don't feel like having a Corey Worthington situation on my hands"
"I understand. I mean I'm not angry but you have pretty much just ruined the greatest party of all time"
"No I haven't. You have. By putting it on facebook and inviting so many people"
"Ah touche"
"Well Mr Hives I think that just about sums it up. You can come pick up the money when you're ready"
"Aaaaaahhhh sheet. Ok dude goodbye"
"Bye"
So as you can see. THE PARTY IS CANCELLED.

"thomas is pretty advanced for his age"
the man/corpse himself Thomas Robinson has nailed himself a cover. See below
Watching "Visions" as a man 5yrs younger than I am now I was pretty damn impressed with his skills, and now 5 years on he actually lives down in the northern suburbs of Wollongong and I get to see these skills first hand (behind the lens of my now deceased Sony 3ccd).
When he's not surfing he can be found at "the bean" with the other Bulli boys sipping on overpriced coffee and talking about chicks.

a non-crazy, semi serious music post
Music.... what a topic to tackle on a Tuesday night be I am going to give it a shot. I don’t know much about it, i aint no “muso” and when im at a concert I cant really tell if a band played well or is good or not ect ect (as I have never played an instrument besides the recorder and keyboard for music in year 7). So if a band plays ‘bad’, according to some "mad critic" but I was there and was digging it does this mean I shouldn't like it? or if some muso tells me that a band is shit should I believe them.
I like this song, and this band and that’s all that counts right???

oh my god stalk 2 marn.
Everyday i make habbit of typing the search term "bodyboarding" into Vimeo, choosing the "most recent" clips. Today i stumbled across the teaser for stalk 2.
http://www.vimeo.com/7022495
Its quite a wild teaser with some crazy animation going on so im going to give it the thumbs up, well worth a check. Stalk 1 is actually a favorite of mine, the water footage was shot really well and its hard to beat good WA footage of rawlins and Hardy. And on another point the name for the movie is called stalk.... crazy, but who i am to talk, with my last 2 releases being called outrageous behavior and chicks, then end.

"he should have known i was unreliable"
Latebreaking news:
The wheels are finally in motion for the DVD.... the bone looked good today but i was to lazy to go out and plus madcrab was out there.... and James "he should have known i was un-reliable" Kates is on board as chief editor.
So shit is happening and im excited. Dixon the very creator of this blog has actually been given the flick from the production team. This is a result of all his time being spent getting as drunk as possible and dancing on elevated dancefloors, with his eyes almost closed, but open just enough to see if people are paying him attention.
Below: Dixon post glasshouse dancefloor session
Me and frames yates spent 10 mins yesterday running through some of the sections and got most of them done so she will done in no time im sure. And being the crazy cunts we are we are thinking of releasing the teaser after the dvd has premiered.

Role reversal
There are big things happening in Bodyboarding at the moment, but by far and away the biggest actually involves yours truly. If you haven’t heard already i have completed my time behind the lens and now am perusing a spot as a full time pro rider.
Since the departure of ryan "saddog" mattick from the boogs its left a hole that I believe a rider of my caliber can definitely fill. It’s a natural role reversal you could say with Ryan, who is now full time behind the lens.
For all you doubters out there his is some proof that I will be riding my way to the top in no time

riptide is crazy
ok lets talk magazines. The last riptide i bought really did my head in. avg photos, avg writing and an overall stinking feel. Why is this? Riptide was the first mag i ever read and i was a loyal subscriber for years but it seems they have gone down hill of late. I dont wanna get to neg on riptide but the last mag really left a bad taste in my mouth, possibly similar to the taste koots got when he got freaky and blew in his own mouth.
But alas WA hellman josh garner goes out to try and kill himself and nails what has to be the stupidest/craziest cover of all time.
So where does this leave riptide? maybe they are back? maybe josh garner is a bodyboarding semi-pro and this is what the sport is making poor cunts like him do. but anyway for everyones sake i hope we all go out a buy the new riptide and its good and it keeps pushing the sport in the right direction.
josh garner so crazy marn

Terry had THC in her system
one of my favorite blogs 'tonkathetruck.blogspot.com' put me onto this one.
There is just something about this clip that makes it my favorite you tube clip of all time.
Im not sure what makes it so damn funny...is it becasue its called 'lady punch'? how hard the lady smacks her with that hammer like hit? how she doesnt see it coming? that its a 60yr old lady who smacks her? or if its her face after she has got hit? maybe it just a combination of all of these.
But i definatley can be sure to say that this is crazy. i approximate that i have viewed lady punch over 100 times and im not stopping anytime soon.
For the love of youttube, i present "LADY PUNCH"

if you have been in hiding
The fonejacker, if you have not heard of this guy you should have, maybe its becasue your like half the male population under the age of 30 who think that if you have a girl friend you should go MIA, but thats semi off topic.
this guy is the man. pranks are what lifes all about, getting someone going and making them shit themselves or blow up only to find out the jokes on them.
here are 2 of my all time favorites. If you dont like this, or think it isnt funny that would be like telling morgan hives that dylan was shit.

talking all that jive
thought id go back in time and look up some history of bodyboarding. Here is a bit of quote on what its all about
“ But a diversion the most common is upon the Water, where there is a very great Sea, and surf breaking on the Shore. The Men sometimes 20 or 30 go without the Swell of the Surf, & lay themselves flat upon an oval piece of plank about their size and breadth, they keep their legs close on top of it, & their arms are us'd to guide the plank, they wait the time for the greatest Swell that sets on Shore, & altogether push forward with their Arms to keep on its top, it sends them in with a most astonishing Velocity, & the great art is to guide the plank so as always to keep it in a proper direction on the top of the Swell, & as it alters its direction. If the Swell drives him close to the rocks before he is overtaken by its break, he is much praised. ”

I hope it took this guy years to make this shot, if it didnt he has run out of all his luck for one lifetime.

internet killed the dvd star
With the amount of good footage floating around the net, its def got me thinking about how much people want to buy or watch dvds these days?. I go on the net, check all the bodyboarding sites and pretty much guaranteed i will come across a sick clip that i can watch for free within about a minute.
When i first started getting into the sport the best bodyboarding i saw was on channel 7's "waveriders" pit pilot section which went for 3mins max, i then progressed to some rush vids and then my first ever dvd premier i attended was "I love the SC" which pretty much got me intetested into shooting and making a good local video. But if im a kid these days and i decide i like bodyboarding and want to watch some good clips i go onto vimeo, type in ben player and watch countless clips of him in HD quality ripping harder than pretty much any rider ever has.
So how will crazy compete with the internet clip revolution? It wont, but it will offer a different type of veiwing pleasure, it will have soul, character and most importantly be crazy. My vx2000 has finally been layed to rest after a collision with the rocks at redsands so the editing has commenced and im hoping prems will happen late novemeber at this stage.
My proof about how many good clips there are on the net is below, i got onto movementmag.com ,saw there was some clip of a french rider i have never heard of and thought id watch it, half way through the guy pulls the best invert-air rev /invert-backflip ive ever seen. Crazy marn

the double msg
ok lets talk mobile phones.
You have msgd a girl u like and u really want a reply... it doesnt come. What do u do now?
This is what maybe going through your mind:
for some unkown reason she didnt get the msg, shes got no credit, she didnt know what to write back, pretty much your mind is trying to make you beleive there is some kind of mistake and that u must send the infamous double msg!
now its hard to know why this happens to all males, but this thought process is way to common. The logic of "shes got the msg and didnt write back casue she not keen" never really gets through.
So what do u do now? u send the double msg! (a 2nd msg after the first msg was not replied to) which is an offence myself and most men are guilty of. When that double msg is sent and your realise a few hours later what has happened u may want to lock yourself in your room and listen to bands such as "the used" and "saves the day". If your crazy enough u may even throw out a triple or quad msg which is just out of control.

frames
roller coaster of emotion
my camera has off officially made me loose my mind, the new problem of the zoom not working is really fucked.
First it was stuck on fully zoomed in, so it was kinda sweet casue thats what you want to have it on when you shoot from land anyway. Well now its stuck on fully zoomed out which means i can only shoot water but with no zoom, which isnt a huge problem (unless your mattick and you need to get real tight).
Then tonight i just tested it and the zoom worked again, so i was on cloud nine (not the wave). So i made some calls and organised to head up to shark island to shoot the comp tommorow. Then after i completed the calls i came back to find the zoom was once again stuck on zoomed out, i was close to tears. I was inconsoleable, and just couldn't believe how much a piece of electronics could casue a man such heartache. But just then (5 mins before i started this post) the zoom worked for just long enough that i was able to use the zoom ring and have left it on fully zoomed in hoping that it will stay there for tommorow.
So the point of this post is if you see any footage of the shark island comp on this movie its a true miricle. If u dont you will know that i prob went up there and watched 6-8ft barrels and wasnt able to shoot one of them.
Here is a shot of the famous 2001 SIC, Alistair Taylor
"there was just way to much energy in that wave....." "It it picked me up hit me super hard on my back bounced me across the whole reef like a tennis ball"
Best interview in a bodyboarding video to date.

evoke the stoke
A Flames Yates production, 25th of July at City Diggers, Wollongong.
Expect great entertainment on the night from flames as MC, similar to that of his effort on stage at Waynes Addiction.
On the subject of flames how good is his face shot in the new movement mag, pure.
Here is a blurry frame of him surfing, hes getting at least one section in crazy possibly 2, the second being dedicated specifically to his forced flairs from 2003.
Zion's expanding into the fashion scene
The rumours are true! After the success of zion's first line of wetsuits, founder ryan "saddest dog on the coast" mattick is branching out into fashion to compete with rivals todd barnes and david fox of IAMNONE.
He got the samples a few months back and his jean of choice was a pair he named "the excessively ripped crotch model". When i asked him to briefly describe this particular pair this is what he had to say...
"these jeans ive been wearing for the past few months are insane, like your typical skinny leg and black but with freedom in the crotch and arse area. perfect when u need to shit outdoors in public"
Heres a framey of another sample hes been working on, simply called "the maddog classic rip"

Going out tonight dick?
New Movement in stores today. Crazy stars ivan, katesy, jase all have shots in it. Ivan celebrated his mag appearance in fine form last night shuffling he's absolute tits off in ivory, glassy, illawarra and castros. Too bad he's pokie form wasn't as good as he's shuffling. Jack 'criminal' Dobinson also appears in the mag in an Iamnone photo shoot, new member of the team.
nun pools
Just found this on youtube think it's pretty old but anyway. Imagine getting a few good boogers out there and imagine how much they would 'doogey shralp' as declan would say. Even more so imagine the z i o n esque heaven madog would be in with the abundance of tight angles he could shoot out there. He'd prob end up shooting water but, haha love u madog. All in all the place looks that pure!

Dapto Interskate
Was flicking through the Mercury today with the dobination bear and we came across an amazing article concerning the reopening of an interskate centre in Oak Flats. This brought back great memories of the Dapto Interskate Rink in Dapto. There was nothing better than repping a floral button up shirt and fanging it around 'anti clockwise' in the speed lane then getting asked to sit the next song out due to your actual lack of speed. Pure
This article inspired me to look back in time at some old photos from the old photo albums at home. The photo below is me before my Year 6 'social'. So crazy.

My first ever blog entry
So after learning dixon (who has filmed a total of 10 waves for this movie) has created this blog i thought i better contribute.
My life behind the lens of one of the worlds most unreliable video cameras has been pretty pure. Besides now not being legally allowed to drive a motor vehicle, ive filmed some good sessions. last few days have been as follows; 5hrs with a towel over my head filming one of the worlds most backlit set ups, daddy Q's, mad mans.
Back to the unreliable camera, a few weeks back i thought it was gone for good and i did consider throwing it off a cliff, but alas its come back to life. Problems with the camera are as follows: Camera sometimes doesnt even turn on, glitches (pixells especially at the starts of a new tape on the left hand side of the picture), have to guess my settings as the display settings no longer appear through the view finder, lcd screen doesnt work, tape deck wont shut so i have to tape it closed, camera somtimes just starts recording randomly.
So this is what im working with but im hoping it will hold out for a little longer as its way beyond the point of repair, i actually would be embarissed to take that thing to sony and when they ask me whats wrong with it mention all the above problems. My plan is to scab as many lifts to the ocean in the next few months as i can and film, and hopefully have a pretty sweet dvd at the end of it.

The Headie Shreddies
The Headie Shreddie indoor cricket team may have come to the end of a dream run/neg fest. After two severe losses in a row we are waiting for conformation of a semi final appearance from the boys. Im awarding Kooties the most valuable player of the series for ALL teams bar ours, as he did his best to deliever as many runs as he could to our opponents by his continuous wides.
There were many fun times to be had at indoor with the last couple of weeks providing classic enjoyment. Scooter 'Bearded man' Matua re-ignited a classic game invovling the making of a circle with your fingers which in turn allows you to punch whoever looks at this circle (picture below). Most amazing game ever.

You're one of a kind marrrn!
Jack Dobinson co creator of Outrageous Behaviour and Chicks, has teamed up yet again with a different partner in James Dixon to produce a new project called CRAZY, so crazy.
