Hey Chip…
There is nothing quite like watching the Bro’ pull in hey…mix of Pride and Envy…
My Bro is sending me pics of (I know…I know…post 'em…) his sojourns in Spain, France, Cornwall, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
The dastardly bastard!!!
Josh
Mate, looks like your bro’s having a top time. Kracking pics grommit!
Is this your local break? You lucky lucky bas+810.
Now I’m more depressed than ever!
Peace!
nothing like a session with family in the line up…hands down best times in the water have been with my bro/sis/dad.
I like the old school look of those photos. Looks like they were taken 20 years ago.
Mr.Ben,
Good on you ,Mate !

Nice board. nice waves, great family shot. Gee you do look a BIT like your brother!!!.
I like the first tudor board, lookls like a lot of fun mate.

wow , thanks very much for the replies guys ! [simon thought no-one would be interested in seeing us ‘old’ duffers surfing …]
wouter , i thought i did [have shots of him on the wayne lynch board] , but then i realised …we surfed together that day , but i didn’t have the watercamera with me …

G’day Chipfish…
How DO you manage to make Scarbs’ resemble Kirra…?!?
Anyway , good to see those shots of Simon. The 'ol buggers looking fit. if memory serves me well he must be pushing 50

Please let him know theres always a room for him ( or Eli ) at my place…
He knows how good our waves are…

Enjoy your time together

hi “sammy” !
…he knows who you are , then ?
he’s 51/52 already [i’m 47…]
simon started surfing in the ‘transition’ period [1968ish] …which may explain the ‘old school’ thing , eh ?
cheers !
ben

Have P.M 'ed you…
en route to ‘freo’…
…here are some more shots of the ‘good karma’ model…

logos…
he IS heavy , he’s …skeleman [my nephew , Eli , in cognito ! …
…he RIPS!]
…while Simon was here , he also rode the 6’4 Bob Cooper , complete with tail twist !
