Look for the silver lining.
In the sky, in life, in business,
you can’t see it if you don’t look.

Kelly Slater, ASP 10X World Champion surfer is being chaired up the beach at Snapper Rocks, Queensland, Australia, just after winning Quiksilver Pro, March 2011.

What’s the bond between a champion and his fans?

These little buggies, usually seen zipping around our local Gold Coast surf beaches with a couple of Queensland finest in them, are presumably much more effective in the perp catching game than foot chases across the sand in size 9s would be.

Amazing how a bucket, a milk bottle and a piece of wood provided a visual treat. Imagination at work

Where do you see art in your life?

This weekend marks the start at our local Rainbow Bay beach of the annual Quiksilver Pro + Roxy Pro international surfing event. The big blowup cubes in the picture, decorated with the Qiksilver and Roxy logos, are about to be towed out on a Red Bull liveried jetski, to mark out the official surfing area. Local ordinances at this time reserve a large surfing area for competitors, from the 8 am start till the the end of each day’s proceedings. It is a huge event, with a carnival atmosphere, top competitors from around the world, packed crowds on the beach and local vantage points on the final days, and of course lots of money being injected into the local economy for accommodation, food and general partying. We like it.
