So you've got a mate that owns a Hilux or a Hummer. No track is unpassable, eh? Be it Potholes, Bears, or Coffin Bay, it's soft hands in the sand, back to first through the water, and watch your head over the bumps...we're coming through.

Well, Mike Maxted sees your Hummer and raises you a Cessna. Mike's mate Luke Wyllie - yeah, today's Wave Of The Day star in case you're wondering - has his pilots license plus his own plane, and he's prepared to fly to wherever there's a smooth, and sometimes not-so-smooth, landing strip.

On Monday it was a short Perth to Gnaraloo jaunt. The fellas swung in over Tombstones to see lines of swell out to sea and only a few 4WDs in the carpark. Twenty minutes later they were in the lineup themselves.

Luke's the first natural footer you see. Choppa Read the recurring goofy. Jacob Wilcox is in the mix too, dropping over a tricky step.
