What a day in the life of the Token Victorian. Went to sleep at 4am, woke at 6am to do a run to the a visit a location we haven't surfed in a long time.
Wave two of the session landed the photo above, wave three the photo below. I managed to run straight into the man behind the lens, Ed Sloane, the impact forcing him to let go of his housing. No big deal, his wire reinforced leash will keep his precious camera close by. Ed's leash snapped and his $8000+ set up was nowhere to be seen. We scoured the lineup for over 30 seconds before the Big Grizzly, Zeb Walsh, jumped on it like a footballer. Crisis averted, however the session in front of the his fisheye lens was over.
Ed had driven down with the Dali Lama, aka Shyama Buttonshaw. The Dalai had consumed several alcoholic beverages the previous evening and was more than feeling the effects. Rendered unable to surf by his alcohol induced sickness, the Dali curled up in the shade and proceeded to spread his remaining stomach contents throughout the car park.
Watch the video below, it has some highlights from the drive home. It is proper hilarious.
