A little bit of what you love ..
So what’s a bloke to do when the wind is tediously onshore for yet another day – here he is, awake again well before dawn as usual with nothing but time on his hands and the lovely little lady slumbering peacefully just a foot away ~ and being a fair dinkum red-blooded kind of fella there’s really only one thing that will ever be a substitute for the dawny – A spot of early morning sax ~ A little Wayne Shorter down low and easy ~ just the ticket.
A link to the past
If you have a closer look at the bench against the club wall here you might think it’s the same one where one of the greatest surfers of the longboard era sat and sunned himself over sixty years ago. He’s long gone now and rarely remembered but for a few of us who were youngsters when this bloke was in his prime and are now pushing eighty.
Age creeps, then rushes.

Kevin Brennan. Fifty years dead.
Bloke rings me up a few weeks ago, says he’s Angus Fontaine and he’s writing an article for the Guardian and wants to talk about Kevin Brennan, being fifty years since he died. Bit of a memory test there but the longer we talked about Head the more came to mind.
The article was published today, here.
