West OZ

A little while ago I was invited on a Volcom marketing trip to Western Australia with the team. Along for the trip was Dusty Payne, Mitch Coleborn, Nate Tyler, Ozzie Wright, Andrew Doheny, Alex Gray, and the one and only Matt Bemrose. With our massive surf group, we also had Jack Morrissey, Matt Shuster, Brian Bielman, Andrew Christie, and for a little of the trip Tom Carey documenting our every move. This was the most all time crew you could have on a trip. Constantly laughing, we did a lot of different activities. We surfed, chased kangaroos, ate a lot of food, randomly discovered an Ostrich egg in a supermarket, drove past Emus, the whole shibang. We did it all. I ended up perforating my eardrum about four days into the trip and didn't surf for about five days. However, I managed to stuff some ear plugs in and surf some of the most amazing waves of my life. We met up with a good man named Courtney Brown, who showed us around where he lives. Courtney is one of the most mellow cats you'll ever meet and is very hospitable. Thanks to Courtney we scored waves and got tubed all day. Below are some random Iphone photos I got from the trip. I wish I had some more photos, but I don't.

  2. Okay, well I was reading the blurb at the top and it really got my attention. I mean: chasing kangaroos? Ostrich eggs in supermarkets? Like wow. I just was a lil upset not to find a photo of one of them or even both of them in the pictures u had. If I was u I would of snapped some sick ass photos of the egg and I would at least video dusty, ozzie, or even matt chasing those big ass kangaroos. Anyways, it def sounds like u guys did the whole shebang.
