Though the storm that hit Vicco yesterday was sizable, the westerly direction wasn't great for the Surf Coast. Troy Brooks and the organisers of the Bells Beach 50 Year Storm event, held in memory of Shaun Brooks, put the contest on alert, however they pulled the pin when the waves didn't reach the threshold.

"Anyone who wants to come out, then come out and enjoy the spirit of the event," said Troy Brooks.

Included in the video are Nic Muscroft, Casey Egan, Darren Wilcock, Jack Perry, Llew Callahan, Adam Robertson, Johnny Hawkin and Troy Brooks.

...and here I am clueless at technology.

I could type you a few thousand words and describe what happens in the video wave by wave, might even make it more exciting than the real thing - I'm well versed in talking it up - but no doubt Ben will mosey by before I finish, solving the problem in a flash and making my composition redundant.

So we might just wait for him...

All good mate, you guys are doing a great job. I just wanted to see how many times I skimmed on my guts before it gave me a good thrashing.

Anyway, everyone knows what happens across there. There's no secret in the real world. So, again, the cameras set up and filmed the ski's frolicking to their hearts delight, mile after mile. Again. In a nutshell.

Meanwhile, the ageless, eternal swillnut, highchair, local heavy, pioneer warrior? MIA. Wrong turnoff... gee whiz... again.

In a nutshell.

Glad you got that off your chest ollo!

But, they all try that mate, they all think they can be like me, by just taking some amazing, deluxe magic pill.

And that's one of the main problems with the mod surfee ollo. They want a magic fuckin' pill for everything, then when that doesn't work, they all squwark and screech and squeal for magic fuckin' leggies, while the groms are fadin' em on the inside slab down at the fuck'n pass. Its a fucking, ludicrous embarrassment. Again. In a nutshell.
