Sorry!!! i know how much of a disappointment this week's post have been (actually there hasnt even been any posts to have the chance to disappointed with). But alas! we've got some images from the Camp Out from a couple of weeks back. Thanks to the mad cats at SB Photo. More to come, including the promised video.....
Ok, the video of last week's camp out is finished. But due to Nathan using to much of our Internet download this month i am unable to upload it to the blog at this stage. I plan on doing it this afternoon at uni. The vid looks mad, and marks a comeback for young film maker Dave 'Reno' Thredgate, an early prediction but i think this kid has what it takes to make it to Cannes next year. 
Sausages anyone? 120 of these little suckers were fried up over what was the PSBC Camp Out 09. It all seemed a blur of smoke but the 23 happy campers got the waves they were looking for and everything else that goes with a successful camping adventure, rain, fire, dingos. I managed to cope the beating of my life at Janies, getting rolled off the wedge rock and left clinging for safety, subsequently putting me out of action for the weekend. The up side to this story is that i managed to capture some good clips on Reno's video cam, and all the action will be posted up on the Blog this coming week. Thanks to all the groms that fetched fire wood, and to everyone in general for being all round legend campers!
hey grommets,
We've all at some stage of our adolescent lives wanted to be apart of something bigger and bader. For Sinatra there was the Rat Pack, for Fat Albert there was the Cosby Kids, and for Ryan Keating there was the Shoaly Crew. What im trying to say is the gangs aren't as bad as they might be depicted in society, i'm sure the Shoaly crew didn't devote their time on the weekends to public service but they did create a unique sense of companionship, some of the boys tore apart the local beaches on the foam, some just regulated the car parks. What Ryan contributed was a little different, he wanted to take the back seat and capture his mates at what they usually do best, with a lens and a whole lota creative flair. An elusive character at times, Ryan along with almost half of the once prominent Shoaly Crew made the pilgrimage west, all the way to another ocean in fact. There he continues to shoot photos, maybe at a broader scale of subjects (W.A is blowing up in terms of bodyboarding talent right now) but none the less he's continuing what he started all those years ago, when his 'crew' was at the top of the food chain back in the Bay. He's been kind enough to throw some images over to the blog for you groms to look at, the Box both east and west versions. Its funny how these break share the same name yet there pretty well polar opposite, one being a left hand beach wedge the other a slabby right reef ( maybe a little too coincidental?). Hopefully we'll see more of the bays favorite photog in the bodyboarding media this year, hell he's had a good start. (thanks for not getting angry that we used your shot on our banner Keats).
ok, well i hope this is how this week turns out. Firstly Matt sends this permission slip out to all the members email accounts. Secondly you guys print them out, read it, autograph it, maybe even give Matt a message to let him know your coming, then get your selves down to reef car park on friday arvo WITH THIS SLIP IN HAND. lastly we score a dry camp site and managed to get barreled all flippin' weekend!!
