Incoming


International jetsetter and possibly earths most competitive person has arrived in our fine state. Pierre Louis Costes touched down on wednesday night, having already passed through WA and queensland on his annual pilgrimage to land a backflip on every single wave on Australia's coast. After sitting through wat i can safely say was the longest traffic delay of my life on the m2 we arrive at the airport a good half an hour after we planned. 


'hey mate, sorry were late worst traffic on way here" to which he replies "fuck man, so cold right now"

Unfortunately for pierre he was treated to the back seat of will hodgetts car. What should be a comforatable ride down the coast never is when will is driving. Refusing to wind the window up the entire way, on easily the coldest day of the year seemed to push the frenchy a little bit far. "fuck man why u do that with your window, i so cold back here!"

The next day was a little dissapointing, with the swell being to small for where we had planend to surf. after a negative breakfast stop at the most expensive corner store in australia with max and corey we headed further south to find some fun 3-4ft waves with practically no one out. Despite the good conditions calls such as "i hate this wave man" from max and even though pierre has never surfed the spot he also said its the shittest wave around. With nowhere else to go we gave it a shot. I negged out within the first 10 mins of floating in the lineup and headed in to sleep on the grass. Will cleaned up with footage though, wich im sure you will be seeing soon  on wills blog.  http://monksmonastery.blog

After another comfortable night in a warm bed we headed to blackrock without frenchy. After getting there he called asking wat it was like. it looked pretty fun and with only 2 people out we were pretty keen to stay there. After surfing for a few hours pierre wanders across the rocks. When we asked how he got here from ulladulla he replied 

"Hitchhiked man, only 3 different cars aswell! Pretty good hey!"
