FROM GATWICK WITH LOVE

 

A six-hour layover in this giant open-air toilet? No worries when the next short flight will be taking you directly to the world’s best beachbreaks.

Well here we are in London, a six hour airport layover. All good though because on the way to France for some sick beachies. Had a fun time in the US didn’t do any good in the comp but hope to do better this time. Me and Cambo had some funny times there, we’ll try and get some footage for you all to check out.

Stay tuned.

SNAPPER, CRACKLE & POP

Waves have been pretty bad here, but it’s pumping like mad now.

Well, ya wouldn’t read about my last couple of weeks; took ages to get over the infected foot; and back in the water today at pumping Snapper, I burst me bloody ear drum (heavy!).

Jeez, it’s injury central on the WPS blogs at the moment.This is somewhere at home, mighty Richmond River country, on one of the few sessions between the foot and the ear. © Shieldsy

Never done it before and shit it hurts like mad!!! Doc reckons not too bad, I should be back in the water in two weeks, just in time for Trestles. Sweet tip for the day - don’t jump forward in the barrel.

All good though, might even go snowboarding.

Speak soon,

JETLAG & INFECTION

Hey guys, well here I am back home at 4am, wide-awake. Ah the joys of jetlag! I found myself in at the doctor’s yesterday with an infected foot full of cuts from those mussels and rocks in J-Bay.

Wasn’t too bad on the frothier bigger days like in my heat here, but on the smaller days your feet get minced on the bottom at J-Bay.

So she put me on some antibiotics and said stay out of the water for a week, are you kidding me!?! Well there’s no waves here in Byron Bay anyway, so sweet. Well I might whack some TV on, grab a coffee and enjoy the lounge, Stay tuned.
