King of the surf

Keep your Tom Curran, Kelly Slater, Midget, Bobby Brown, Nat, Mick Dooley, all those fabulous heroes of the surf .. they amount to nothing when we acknowledge not only the master of the surf, but master of the nation that surfs .. in fact the many nations that surf.

A man held in great respect, a man adept in so many disciplines but able to conquer the wild surf with consummate ease, an iceman in the raging seas. The real Waterman

And he’s a natural. Plus he seems to be a good bloke, despite being a Pom.

To be continued and there might be some residual pain ..

midget memorialised

Midget was an easy bloke to like and was very easy on the eye when in the water, fluid and graceful, stylish. Now his image has been carved into a large boulder up at Palm Beach. In other words, as long as everyone keeps their fingers off the nuclear button and the oceans don’t rise too high the rock with Midget’s likeness carved into it will be around for thousands of years.

Imagine that. Thousands of years

But, you know, the author of the work might have considered another image of the old lad, for instance-
