Haggy,
we had so much fun down under - I am still smiling. Had surgery right when we got back and the foot is starting to feel 70% normal. Good enough to skate. Have been riding banks at the parks and the EXKATE, and bicycle. Starting to feel pretty good.
We did not have any time for anything except family and friend time when in Australia, so we didn't try to meet up with any of the "skate crowd". Sorry, I just hung with our host family, who are great friends from Ohio.
We will be back over some time in the next 5 years. It wont be long. THE PEOPLE DOWN UNDER WERE SO COOL - I COULD TOTALLY LIVE THERE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOVED IT.

hey Kenny,
Didn't know you were down under recently. Looks and sounds like you had a ball. Good stuff. Bummer you couldn't be around a bit longer. A few weeks ago we had a downhill/SuperGS bash up in Townsville. Slalom at 60kmh+. Pretty darn fun.
Awesome you went to Bells. I'm up in Sydney so too far away but one day hope to make it down that way...
peace out

Hay Kenny, AUG 1st we are hosting a banked slalom invitational, would love to have you out for this event, we found a huge ditch with 25 foot banks, perfect transitions, just like new mexico. I plan on inviting 30 racers to race, we just got sponsered from Red Necuar ale, and hemp brewing company, hope all is well with you and your family.
thanks again for that G.S. board from hood last year, it works unreal 4 me, your bro, Miller

Hey chuffers, heard the Ditch Slap was killer. My buddies from here loved it. Had the Neuroma surgery a week ago and hopefully it'll feel great in a couple months.
Got in a little shredding in Australia at the Frankston Skatepark on my Jason Mitchell all around model. Worked in the airport, streets, and the park. Thanks Jason !!! I only took one board and loved it.

Joe,
They are so stoked !!! Andy Griffith, Lee Monagan and Don Lee. They are all cool. Lee Monagan is the least experience and will need to play it safe. Andy and Don should be just fine. They have long term skills.
I almost cancelled my surgery this Tuesday and came out, but I need to take care of the foot. Its cramping my style. Take care and have a blast !!!!!! I really wish I could be there. More than you know.

Looks like you had a great trip, it's so cool that you include your son in everything, he's such a lucky guy! We're going to miss you at the Slap in Abq, but I'll take some soul runs down Indian School for you and a Safety Check under the bridge. I don't know about doing it in my flip flops though....
What are your friends names besides Andy Griffith?

The champ and me
Everyone took the day off work to see Kelly Surf
Entering Bells Beach on a perfect day... weather that is. It was heartbreaking, but Kelly wasted 7 minutes paddling out when he and all surfers were offered jet ski rides. He was trying to mess with Owen the wildcard - making the kid sit out there waiting for him to paddle out. Kelly was the only one who paddled, and the clock ran out. Plus, Owen tore the living hell out of Bells.
More pics to come.

Well, I checked out Bells yesterday and am now sitting in my living room after a 31 hour trek. Only 19 in the air.
Just checked out Surfline.com under the topic "owen takes down slater" There is a pic of me on the rocks with a kid in a red shirt. Its like shot 1 of the topic.
Then there is shot of Joel Parkinson signing a baby's shirt (looks like the baby's head) with my tourist Ohio chesse monster shot. Pretty classic. Made me realize that we were really there. It was surreal. The place is the best, the people, and we had perfect 70-80 degree sunny days the whole time.
Pretty spanked and its time to lay it down. Ryder was a champ on the whole trip.

Having the best time. Weather is beautiful. Clear, sunny, and in the 80's. We have seen and touched wild Kangaroos, saw koalas, huge jelly fish, had helicopter flights, surfed, jet skied, boated, biked, and even skated a 13 foot pool in Frankston (one in Concrete Wave). Fookers put a "hidden" deathbox in the deep end. Its a recessed death box in the tile. I hit it in the blinding morning sun while carving frontside and bit it - fully padded with shoes and orthotics so no suffering.
Ryder is in heaven. We are staying in a 3 million dollar crib on the water - our friend is general manager for Levi Austalia. The bay across the street is so clear - like Hawaii.
The waves are supposed to be 7 feet tomorrow (Tuesday), which means its round two of the Rip Curl Bells Beach surf comp. Kelly, Mick, Taj, Joel, Bobby and all the heavies will be surfing under the Victorian Sun. Its our last day and I wish we could stay for a few more weeks.
Dream trip for the family. Pics later. I lost every shot when I formatted my camera for no reason. Never done it, but I lost every shot. They WILL be retrived with modern tech.
