Surf Hero?
I hear you inzider, the Swellnet forums have certainly got colourful since Uplift got on here. He has stepped up and filled the void left by the prolific Bigwayne.
Away, are they not the same,
This is what swellnet want, the sopie of the surfing internet, the leading fuckwit, oops character, upwank, upturd, upitself, the mentally unmanageable steroid bashing pumping iron in front the mirror all day long uplift.
Apparently this is what we're looking for in forums, mindless bullshit.
Nothing wrong with a bit of mindless bullshit now and then.
I wasn't havin a crack brutus..your a fuckn legend in my eyes(no bumfuck intended!)..I'm just saying he has the right of reply...but..he won't ..or doesn't need too..and if I was him I wouldn't on here either..it would just open himself up for all sorts of potshots and innuendo..there might be circumstances that you are completely unaware of...and there might not....surely in Hawaii if you did something that wrong then we'd here about the consequences..but we haven't..If he's that fucked why you worry so much and be THAT focused on trying to 'GET' him?..life's too short for that shit bruddah!!
Moral of this massive Melodrama .....
Don't show people - ( introduce people to your / or more importantly pass on ) knowledge of surf areas how , when and WHY use them ....
We are all guilty at some stage , of Froth and enthusiasm for this sport ? and it has us all commenting on this site ...
at some stage i'd be thankful if Uplift's Internet connection was to just strangely disappear , but i reckon the fucker has a gold plated service , perhaps even a " bigwayne style , " Bat Phone " directly connected into the Swellnet server ....
and all of this is driving up Swellnets " Hits " or partcipation numbers ..... hence agent Bourne 's tag of Uplift , as he is an evil desciple of the Matson clan employed to ' shake the tree " so to speak ....
other notables include , freeride and blindboy on the Philosphical front , international correspondants zen & the roller , athlete insiders caml & jug , provicational leads : smux & brewser , and the middle men ...... welly , reecen , barley , myself? ...... , the list goes on .... its all big business
PS . anyone willing to " take out " uplifts direct line to the server will be handsomely rewarded , perhaps an honourary mention in next years up and coming " Swellnet Awards " .... the more rants the more votes ... its going viral ....
now what were we talking about ..... which thread is this ???
Sever Uplift's internet connection? You really think that's possible?
Uplift is the Chuck Norris of the Eyre Peninsula, even electricity obeys.
yeah Barley ,you are right.....as ya can tell been emotionally attached to this person for too long,and he has made his own bed and now must sleep in it.......
its strange when you go and try and hand down a legacy of knowledge and it doesn't quite go to plan....but I guess one bad apple shouldn't dissuade one from continuing......
there is a lesson to be learned from all......there are so many great young chargers out there.....do it for the love of surfing.......this was one of those cases where....ego money fame and glory were the driving forces...and.................
as for uplift ...ah hes just a serial pest ,needs a good hug by....a friend......and therein could be the problem!
ah stu ,,,
Chuck may own the hand to hand combat , of which agent Bourne seems to self consciously like to attach himself too ... but i feel in the field of technology trickery that Mac Gyver wins hands down ....
MacGyver you out there ..... I heard one contrinutor is pretty handy with Electricity ;-) .
Brute ,
u forgot to mention that friend would have to have strong Glutes for Uppity .
and feel free to share anything you think needs to handed down to myself .
I'm pretty sure i won't be broadcasting it for gain ....
Shit i might even have something / somewhere to share for yourself and RCJ ...
purely for testing and design purposes only
Stu's got my email / phone No. .....
I knew I shouldn't have introduced dots to these bozo's.... ........ they cant even fuck'n get that right. ......... ahhhh...h...hhh...............h??...................???..
uplift , your inferring that you created " the Pause " or more to the point spread its usage in SN ...
more delusion ............
and silence .
Now I've created another rivetting topic for you.
Anyway, its just what I do, I don't brag about it, but some people, actually most, call me the excitement machine. I think bordo, or maybe jervis started it.
You'll find we're like that us legends, not evil cunts, just humble, beautiful people doin' quietly humble, beautiful things for savin' the planet, never filming it, well maybe just at night, no spotties though, well maybe just a couple, solar powered but, and making tv shows about it and shit, and trying to market and sell ourselves and stuff, for money to live and surf and shit..aaaaaahhhhhh.......hh.aaaaaaaeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.......????
Has this notorious model 'the Pleasure Machine' been linked to 'the Excitement Machine'?
After all, she is only human.
https://www.google.co.jp/search?q=gabrielle+richens+the+pleasure+machine...
As, I said, a beautiful humbleness will keep me quiet about that. No matter the number of personal attacks trying to get me to talk even more...again.
As it was, in the rare instances that she actually wore panties, they were more often than not down around her ankles at the sight of a big, strapping, raw boned, 8 % BMI elite athlete.
She nearly cost one elite athlete his career, glad you emerged from the other side relatively unscathed.
To quote one popular SN raconteur- 'So much fluid':)
Man I love SN, best creative writing I've seen in ages.
Jeez Tripper, you should read a bit more then:)

Maybe I should clarify, change creative for plain fucken bullshit...brings a smile to the dial during the long days at work anyhow.
Hey uplift, will this heavy training get me up to your standard, or is this biting off more than I can choo.
oh uplift,you are a legend,and everybody here can tell that you are the father of FIG JAMitis......a worthy recipient of your gracious behavior and unending dribble......not sure if its talking.....but please continue to distract,abuse, and confuse...you leg end.....or is that a foot?
So was Charge for Charity just a marketing stunt, did JR use the Breast Cancer Foundation only to gain a public profile? Apparently he claims he was invited by NBCF to help raise funds as a " high profile surfer" but back then when Charge for Charity started he was definately not a high profile surfer in any shape or form.
red,yeah sure looks like Charge for charity was just part of his self marketing scheme to attract sponsors,fame glory and in the end commercial dollars .
becoming a Pro-surfer in that he would attract big bucks,and would become a Mark Mathews or.....????.........
It now all looks like it has blown up in his face........no sponsor would touch him.pretty sad life result in the end.....
Looks like Brutus has taken on another identity to give him a bit of back up. How low can some people stoop?

Southy does your wife know that you are trying to make dates with old men that wear high heels on the internet?
ah shaun..are you are conspiracy theorist...or just a FigJamitis fan?
shaun ,
I tried yourself first obviously .... but Morris was too protective ( and at the time nose deep up your backside ) , where to next ...
i've been known to play all sorts of games to win in Pool/Snooker ...
You were missing last wednesday/thursday , you sure your not a chick and currently still nursing bruised / broken ribs after coming a gutsa at the regions softest wave then having to be helicoptered to safety ;-) ???
Anyway zenny, can't blame the girl for cleaning up, its that primal thing. Imagine how well she'd do over your way! I used to rent one of my units to Japanese tuna buyers. When the big (oops sorry, small... said too much already) boys came over, they whinged about lack of suitable venues and personell to conduct proper 'business' in. She would have to dye her hair blonde though, thoroughly. Yeh, I know that's different though, very refined, very respectfull, cultural primal. Biggest fish, Shintaro rides again stuff.
Shit, gotta bolt, the other rod's going... nah fuckit, just a tiddler. Not even worth bait.
Hey Zen,
Any word from Jeff?
Actually Stu, I did get a reply from Jeff but rightly or wrongly, I thought in his interests I was reluctant to re-post it word for word. Maybe I should have straight away, I'm sorry for that.
I was quite satisfied with his response and it went something along the lines of not wishing to 'add fuel to the nonsense'. He said that he has been well aware of the Swellnet forums but that is not where it's his 'time to shine'.
And with respect to Brutus (who I have a great deal of respect for too) this seems to be on more of a personal level rather than some bloke giving us a heads up on a charity scam. In fairness to Brutus, he didn't directly address the allegedly missing $10k from the NBCF but in fairness to Jeff. I didn't interpret the post as that he had stolen money, only that no funds had been remitted within a certain period of time that he had been associated with the charity. Hey, I'm a member of UNICEF but I havn't sent money in ages, doesn't mean I'm stealing from starving African children.
Here is a copy and paste of one part of the return email and those that read it can judge for themselves. I'm of the mind to always give the benefit of the doubt and the fact that no charges have been laid leaves me satisfied that this is just a bit of a barney between ex-mates and not much more than a storm in a teacup. It's a shame in a way that it's played out on here.
'I raised around $7500 for the charity Keep A Breast through a charity fundraising website Firstgiving.com. Anyone can google it. I'm really proud of it, that was my first attempt at raising money for charity.'
And
'I hope you, your sons and daughters don't let bullies stop them becoming what they dream of. And bullying doesn't only happen to kids.
Live freely, enjoy life and lets remember, it's only surfing not curing disease.
All the best,
Jeff'
So, as you can see no real insight into either argument.
Appreciate the effort, Zen.
@ Shaun , no Brutus didn't create me. Just another who has not been fooled by his "marketing" hype. Many know the truth about his antics in and out of the water.
Live freely,enjoy live and lets remember, its only deceiving people and heres a secret, if you pump your own tyres long enough its amazing how many gullible people you can fool.
As for bullying claims, if you believe in this world you can just do as you please, go against the grain in the face of majorities and shit on multitudes of people with no fallout . Well thats just pig ignorance or having ones head way too far up your own jacksie. Or both.
yeah Zen,it did get a bit personal between Jeff and Myself,as he chose to charge forward and try and become a manufactured big wave rider......thru his marketing of himself and also that he chose to disrespect all the locals wishes at their break.....by using their area as part of his marketing plan for the JR Brand.
he also ,as part of his marketing plan engaged to be an ambassador for the National Breast Council foundation..and their press release says it all...he wasn't a registered charity,had given no money to the foundation and more perplexing refused to communicate with the NBCF..After they attempted to contact him numerous times....
Jeff is a trained Ju Jitsu expert has won a Pan pacific title,so his claims of bullying are just plain delusional,like his attempt to get a restraining order on me.....thrown out of court...
so he has to answer for the consequences of his own actions......by publicising his actions and lack of respect for the surf culture down here...well that's just telling the truth....
Jeffs claims of bullying are just a paranoid cop out.....lets let it go......
Redneck appears out of nowhere to post a denial of being figment of Brutus's imagination then shortly after Brutus puts his 2 bobs worth in, does either of them realize that they are the same person?
Sadly Shaun, I don't think so.
and shaun,you seem paranoid enough to be JR"s love child......just so you know...its called an alert on ya iphone when someone comments......
if only you knew the number of surfers here in Vic that read this site....and contact me...redneck is just someone from downsouth.......who knows the full story of your Surf hero!
Shaun isn't being paranoid Brutus, just poking fun at you. But as usual it went way over your head. Could not give a ratsfuck about your rants about Rowley, don't know him, sick of hearing about him.
Okay your turn Redneck.
Totally agree with Morris, loosen up get a sense of humor.
What do you think Redneck?
What do I think? Where there is smoke there is generally fire. As for Brutus, he possibly lost his sense of humour after being dragged through court but thats just a wild guess.
Well if it upsets you guy's so much, stop banging on about it.
Thats funny Shaun. You of all people lecturing about "banging on". Stick it up your cyber asshole
Glad I got a laugh out of ya, it's just surfing.
Sorry to make your alarm go off at dinner time Brutus.
shaun,my sense of humour might even be a bit dry for you,ya might have to get on the "ice" to understand it, I was having a dig back at you.......
but you do seem to bang on about multiple postees...".Looks like Brutus has taken on another identity to give him a bit of back up. How low can some people stoop?"...........same ol'''''
where there's smoke theres fire....hmm I like that.........
Morris hey got an idea for ya.....if ya don't like this subject and JR..ya could just not come on here at all and keep feeding us.....hmmmm???
and just for the record will be interesting to find out if JR did give the money to the charity he said....stay tuned or not!!!
Ice you reckon, you still selling? :-)
shaun dry ice........pun intended......but looking at your photo....bogun/bikie.....maybe you mean the other Ice??
Am I right to think Jeff Rowley did no wrong here ?
Have heard no more about this.
That's what I reckon to Udo, just people with another agenda throwing shit, don't know him personally but I do some of the stuck, probably would not worry him.
brutus wrote:what are you talking about morris....you mentioned that if ya son was a drug addict I would take the prize.and 3 houses that BS and you know it!!!
I get so tired of people just making up stuff...weed is not addictive but here I go again having to defend myself against misinformed people who think that my crime was punishable to the extent I received...I wore it,did the time because of the crime so what do you think someone should get for defrauding a charity relative to my crime??
high and mighty no......pissed off at guy who ripped of a charity,crossed a line in charging me with an intervention order,pissed off that I was the one who took him and his brither down the coast taught em to tow,showed em the spots,and vouched for them with the locals...yeah bit pissed off....and all for what.......??
What do you think any sponsor would do now??? all for what????
Weed is addictive. Maximum security in Pentridge for a bit of weed?!? Interesting....... Sounds like you were hard done by.......... What should you of got??
In relation to the article it sounds like the facts should be allowed to play out before the courts if that's where it's headed. Based on your past experience Brutus I thought maybe that you might also think so. Although it sounds like you have history with this bloke that may or may not be clouding your judgement.
If this bloke has been dodgy in the past, hopefully this all comes to light. Unfortunately the law doesn't seem to support the "bringing into light" of past descretions, which I've always disagreed with.....if someone has prior form then let's know about it....
/
udo,nice to hear from ya,do you still stand by your raped altar boy joke? answer and I will answer your question on JR?
Been wondering what to do with this for a week. Spoken to quite a few people about, "to post or no to post?"
I feel that this should now clarify and bring to light what has been a sad and emotional issue.......it will be up to the appropriate authorities now to bring closure to this story.....and let's hope that surfing is not too tarnished by one persons behaviour.
Fund-raiser’s wipe out: Charity dumps surf hero
Posted on 27 December 2013.
By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN
A NATIONAL breast cancer charity has withdrawn its permission for Torquqay big-wave surfer Jeff Rowley to use its name in fund-raising. National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) chief executive officer Carole Renouf said Mr Rowley had not remitted any funds to the charity in 18 months.
Mr Rowley, who has developed an international profile in surfing for his big-wave exploits around the world, set up an internet fund-raising page and issued media releases promising to raise money for breast cancer research with his Charge for Charity.
His fund-raising page on everydayhero.com.au lists $1000 in donations to other charities. He has claimed in media releases to have raised $10,000 for charity, with a target of $1 million. Mr Rowley is not registered as a fund-raiser with Consumer Affairs Victoria, which is a legal requirement for his activities.
Ms Renouf said Mr Rowley signed up with the charity in June 2012, initially with permission to use the NBCF name for three years.
“We’ve since tightened our policies and only grant an authority for 12 months. There’s been no activity for a year and no funds have been received, so we’ll pull the plug.
“We’ve been in touch with his nominated contact person six times but had no response, so we’ll write to him and advise him he can no longer use our name.”
Ms Renouf said most of the thousands of people who signed up to raise funds for the charity ran an event and donated the proceeds.
“It’s easier to track if it’s an event, as we have procedures where we follow up the event after it’s held, but in this case it’s been a bit vague.”
Mr Rowley said he was invited to join NBCF as a part of its ambassador program to promote awareness and assist in fundraising efforts “as a high-profile surfer”.
“As of this moment I have yet to secure a major sponsor and continue to fund my travel expenses largely through my personal savings, sponsors and a sports grant,”
Mr Rowley said. “With the increasing travel, I have spent less time at home recently and have not yet been able to put the time, focus and resources required into another Charge for Charity fund-raiser.”
