FINALLY MADE IT HOME

Well the journey has concluded and in fine style I might add. We came into Bondi Beach 3 days ago to close to 100 surfers in the oceans waiting for us in the overcast, rainy conditions that guided our paths. It was a surreal beach gathering, speeches, interviews, friends, love etc... That night Billabong rented a fancy - shmancy banquet dealy and we had some good times making music, dancing and generally celebrating a great trip.
I had a hectic flight home, 2 hour delay on run way than 3 hours into the flight we had to turn back to Sydney because of fuel tank issues, once above Sydney we were informed of rain storms and couldn't land in the rain, so we flew to Melbourne. Few more hours in lines, buses and hotels and a few hours sleep. Next morning we left late, funny thing I did my best to see the set-backs as b lessings and I had a great flight surrounded with good people to LA. Drove home, slept 14 hours and now I'm back in the swing of things. All is well.

NEW SURFRIDER PSA

Surfrider PSA from Matuse Inc. on Vimeo.

***My buddy Ian O'Roarity asked if I would help with some type of animated smoking fish campaign. Wasn't quite sure what he was talking about, but was happy to help remind people to hold on to their butts. Anyways, this is a one time deal, probably the second time I've ever smoked a cig and I must say it was not enjoyable.

Enjoy 111

OPRAH"S AMAZING GIFT

***What do you give the woman with everything. This has to be one of the best gifts I have ever seen, thousands of dancers ripping it up. Gives me chills watching the video, a great concept and amazing execution.

KELLY"S GONE ALAIA

***The man the myth, amazing to see him backing the Alaia. Although he said he hasn't yet got to try it, I sure would love to see him do so. Judging by how incredible he's surfing Lowers he should bag 2 9's come in and shred that the rest if the session.

JOEL IS A CHAMPION

***If you were to find your self in this position, consider your self dead.


***Mr. Tudor just won the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu US championships. Not an easy task. In fact it's incredible, shows what dedication, training and natural ability can achieve. Watch the last fight, amazing how quick he taps him out and how much emotion is surging through his body. Congrats amigo, your a legend. Good luck in Spain.
