The Waiting Game

I just thought we'd better push out a quick update on Phileas as it's been 2 months and 2 days since the last one.

Unfortunately, Phileas hit the Goldie and then stopped dead. Matt said that unfortunately she landed at a time of patchy swell and busy-ness for mat meaning that she had no waves.

So, onward to James Tanner in New Zealand. Currently, Phileas is en route from James's parents to him so should arrive soon. Fingers crossed.

After the Sydney mayhem she probably fancied some rest but I'm sure we're all looking forward to seeing her get back in to some action!

More from the crowd in Sydney. Ben Chipper and Rachel Lewis had fun in some small junky surf, but as Ben said in his email to me, mats can make waves fun that would be aweful on a board.

Angus also got in on the action going fin-less (which seems to be on the verge of becoming a thing). Did pretty well by the looks of it! The faces say it all!

Great to see so much fun being had over there. That's what it's all about after all!

More fun at Little Avalon for a Phileas meetup. This time, Tom Carroll made it along to get in on the action before heading off to Europe.

Ben Chipper was on the beach getting shots but plans to be getting some water time in himself over the coming week. 

The crew await the return of Marc Manion from Indo and Tom from Europe. Fingers crossed we can see a bit of a matmeet go down before Phileas moves on.
