Light on fizz, it's Taj Burrow playing in his front yard and just down the road. Under his feet is the aptly named Tube Pig.

Why Taj has never won a World Title is beyond me.
Surfs so well in waves of consequence.
PS Go Mick!
Forget the board...its Taj Burrow for fucks sake.
If you think that you'll be negotiating the shifty, ledging lineups of Northy and Rabbits if you only had the right stick . You're off your head.
Taj is Taj and you ( and me ) are kooks looking on ,open mouthed from the shoulder.
Shape your own stick and ignore the sad moth like ,Hollywood shapers that don't like you anyway.
They're only going to ghost shape anyway ,......whatd'yreckon MC ?
[quote=Blowin]Shape your own stick and ignore the sad moth like ,Hollywood shapers that don't like you anyway.
Blowin..; I do shape my own boards, a dozen of the ones in the other thead where hand shaped, no machine, by me.
Yes Blowin I do get sad.
Didn't know the Hollywood shapers were trying to be like me.
I like most people.., especially if they order a board off me.
Who is this band please? No credits for it in the vid. Good song I like the progression through heavy guitar, electronica and piano with melody. Been jamming lately would love to hack out a low quality version of this
Fuck - its Nine Inch Nails.
Never particularly liked em but that is a good song.
Ok question answered.
Mate of mine worked for the Hyatt hotel mob in the 90's, rudest famous dude & prick of a person he reckons he encountered by a long shot was Trent Reznor.
Purely great surfing.
Nothing more to say from me.
Fuck he's good.
You surfed with Taj much caml?
Often surfed a couple of favorite haunts in the 90's that TB & Jake the Snake also frequented. They were both so clearly better than everyone else in the line-ups. Their ability to take off so late & deep but still make sections & more often than not the complete wave, was mind blowing to watch. Not only when it was big & perfect but also in big sketchy conditions. Often shouting to each other to "Lock in!!" as these pits heaved. Clearly TB has still got it :)
That would of been sick to watch Rabbits, being from Vic it's not often you surf with pros. Seeing them surf up close live is mind blowing I think
100% Goofy. Particularly when it was less crowded, they tended to share more & were pretty friendly :)
I've frequently see Ace and Micro out the cenny coast. Occasionally Wilko too.
Yes I have surfed with taj a few times . Once it was just him & I in the water . He went right & I went left .
Aren't those the days! Magic!
Funny fucker
He was 11 y.o & I 15 yo . He was doing airs !
No Caml, you could be his dad!
Welly im only 4 or 5 yr older than taj ! We were in busselton high school together but 4/5 yr apart
Where's the "Like" button...I wanna press it a few dozen times
He's so quick off the mark on those late, deep ones....go tube pig!
Some of the most critical and tricky barrel riding. I wouldn't even make the drop on some of those!
