Longboaring-wise, this winter has been pretty rad. I bought
a Sector9 Super Shaka, one of the best boards I’ve ever owned, worked on
downhilling a lot and got some sick slides down (Grabbing squandie, 1 foot
stalefish, standup split 360, 11-19 foot checks) and got some nice flatlanding
done as well. There’s been a lot of progression going on, especially with the
groms in Cooroy. Noah, Jordan, Reilly, Jackson, Louis and Brody have all been
ripping the Cooroy hills. There was a slide comp at the legendary Bertran Rd in
Sunshine (vid coming soon!) which saw team rider Harry Turner walk away with
best trick and Joe Cambell and I tie for most style. Everyone ripped hard,
except for old mate who ended up calling the cops. I recently started seshing the
nearby and AWESOME ‘Bosslyn’ (we can’t say the name for police purposes) with
the rest of the Noosa Grom Squad, which I am now a proud member of. Bosslyn is
a rad hill, with dozens of surrounding hills, steep straights and sketchy
corners. A lot of progression has gone down there in the past two weeks, with
two slide jams.
In Cooroy, the most popular hill is now the ‘Eagle Boys Run’
or Miva. Several rippers live on this road such as Jordy, Mitch and Reilly. It’s
a chill run, ideal for chill trains or testing a board. It starts off with a slow
straight into a fast heelside, then the fastest straight of the run. There you
can take a sweet toeside onto a steep straight, or keep going uphill for a tiny
bit then onto another steep straight into a tight, rough toeside. ITS RAD.
