Better in the 80's



Remember back in the day when you would open a surf mag and be amazed at the skills of the surfers on the page, then you would watch the same surfers video parts and wonder why none of the massive punts from the mag were in their parts? Well thats because back then you didnt have to stick the trick to get it run.



Magazines like Waves have tried to eliminate this over the years by running a lot more sequences but you still see companies putting ads in which you find hard to believe were rode out of by the surf star.



Regardless of this on the wave starved beachs of Perth its crazy how much fun can be had with a jet ski to pin at the ankle biters and throw a few cannonballs into oblivion.



We headed down a few days back and I shot a few snaps off the back of Fitzy's ski of Quinten and Fitz and although the majority of the punts were incomplete if it was 10 or 15 years ago I dare say they may have made the cover.
