Occy The Occumentary
Rereleased on DVD for 07, if you missed it on VCR, now there’re no excuses. Originally released to coincide with Occ’s now stuff of legend late 90’s comeback, the Occumentary was released just before Occ clinched his World Title (99). Seeing as he’s still on the WCT eight years on, perhaps another one might be on the cards. An unmissable bio-movie of one of surfing’s greatest ever, and perhaps oddest-looking proponents.

50 Issues of Surf Europe
Over the past eight years, SE’s consumed a few zillion airmiles, a several generations of Macintosh computers, one dune-top house at La Graviere, four Ed-in-Chiefs, one office in Soorts that melted, untold blagged boards and wetsuits, one or two contest beers, one Chrysler Voyager that blew up, a few thousand Big Mac Meals (Laurel), very little jail time and only a few minor lawsuit threats. Onwards and upwards.

Westward Bound
As the freshly-awoken year of 2007 was yawning, stretching, rubbing away the eye bogey and beginning to think about brekkie, continental Europe’s Atlantic coasts were being blessed with a procession of back to back clean meaty groundswells, groomed agreeably with mild offshore winds. In Europe’s most westerly nation, Portugal’s premier tow-in team of Jose Gregorio and Tiago Pires struck out from their homes in Ericeira to tackle a hitherto-unknown reef located somewhere along the coast between Porto and Faro, in search of expensive thrills of the strap and rope.

HOW TO: Survive a Great White Shark Attack
Paddling out on a gray, overcast day at a beach on NSW’s Central coast our timing sucked, and a solid set nailed us to the inside for a good five minutes. It was me and a mate, Gav, other than that the usually crowded spot was empty. Release finally came, and we both got waves quickly and started paddling out again, Gav about 10 feet ahead of me. At that point we noticed another mate, Luke Mahoney, paddling out down the line a bit, and I remember being thankful for another punter in the water.
