THE HARRISON ROACH CHRONICLES: INDONESIA, PART 5.

~ THE GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE ~ I’m not used to long days spent in the shaping bay. I’ll admit during the time I hung out with Thomas Bexon I didn’t work very hard. But, as I’ve previously said, just standing around watching tires me out. ...

THE HARRISON ROACH CHRONICLES: INDONESIA, PART 3.

THE HARRISON ROACH CHRONICLES: INDONESIA, PART 2.

I’m very fond of Thomas Bexon. He’s a big, bearded Koala that has created a worldwide buzz from mowing foam. When I recently received a call from the ‘Benkal’ at Deus explaining how I was invited to accompany him on a trip to Java I got very, very excited. ...

The Harrison Roach Chronicles: Indonesia, part 1.

Hey you loggers! Indonesia is more than it's cracked up to be. Magazines have told us more than a thousand tales of perfect waves since Tom Carrol and Martin Potter were featured in the VHS movie "The Hole", yet they've chosen to ignore the tastes of many a...

Home Sweet Home

Every now and then, the crowded points of Noosa appear differently. Something queer happens in the water after school holidays, publicised or dying swells, after surfers have had their fill. The crowds disappear. There are even odd occasions that I find mys...

Waiter there's a Covert Notion in my Veiled Concept.
