Just days short of his 21st birthday Sam Norwood is already over the hill. Occy's Grom Comp is in town and Coolangatta has sold out of Red Frogs and Gummi Bears. Ain't nothing like a kid half your size that surfs twice as good to put you in your place.

Pass the time by checking Sam's blog, it's brimming with vids and pics to count down the day.

For the last six weeks there's been swell in abundance, and from Gnaraloo to Noosa no surfer has gone without.  Last week it was SE QLD's turn and Sam Norwood was there to feel the love. All photos by Sam.

We've seen prime logging conditions across Southeast Queensland over the last few days. Sam Norwood dragged himself out of the lumber yard at Noosa Heads to capture these lovely images.
