the island of doctor war cloud

the following are from a secret spot in a very remote part of our country.... the images got to the
Frozen Ocean headquarters via email......what a mission.....super hec-tic shit braaahhh ....smoke blunts levitate, rook tick ....maak die hele foken wave sommer chop chop...bust a klomp kuk soos a frot kop!!!!!.....check them out flippen dangerous!!!!

the final cut !!!!!

this is the final shot of Mark Mccarthy ...
a banging backflip into the flats .....
just check at the insane air he is obtaining in this shot........
mind blowing if you ask me!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but then again its the reason people pilgrimage to the north shore each year, to bust out at pipe and the other famouse spots on that side of the globe......

Roach Mania........

The day i realised i was a drop knee rider and not a prone rider, was the same day i happend to watch no friends 4, guilty by association and for those of you have seen the movie, will most definitely remember paul Roaches section!!!!!!!! in my opinion, that section sold the movie, it gave people the stoke and is 100% the best dk section in history. i remember this old lady from down my street, who used to scratch in bins and stuff looking for cool stuff, bringing to my house a perfect condition, 1994, riptide bodyboarding mag. in this version of the Riptide was a solid article of roach and the shit he was doing at the age of 16 was stuff riders couldnt do back then.....this post is a kinda tribute to the king of the knee!!!!!!!!!! the old school Photos are the best!!!!!

tube time Sean Tickner....

some people can and some just cannot..... thats not the case with Sean because he can Drop Knee!!!!! check this tube he was driving back in the day when he had a tash!!!!!

Al Tayler and the pipeline Bomb

Alister Taylor is one mad man that cultivates crazy boards and also tests them in the most harsh conditions the north shore can throw at him.... although in my many years of watching bodyboarding movies and reading mags i have seen him charging alotof big waves but today im not just sharing a big wave.... im showing you the start of a bodyboarding revolution ...the media have taken note of Bodyboarding on the NORTH SHORE which is a big step as surfing dominates that area....anyway check it out!!!!!!

the artistic flow of the Ferret.....

sometimes a person has to just chill back and instead of focusing on hardcore bodyboarding, take time to look at the more artistic side of the sport. we are so blessed to have the ocean as our playground as there are so many amazing characteristics about the ocean that can just blow us away with every second we gaze upon its splender. so todays post is just going to be some really "artistic" shots of our sport.....

This is just such a cool water shot at the hoek. sunny day, blue skies and a cracker of a wave.....Cameron shows us how to go back hand and make it look good!!!!

This photo shows jp getting shacked at his local break of kalk bay reef , but more than that is the epic background....
Saving the best for last....here we have a cascade defence against the outside world...one of the best shots iv ever seen!!!!!!!!

Mark Mccarthy chronicles vol 2

Now for the second installment of the Mark mccarthy chronicles. in this episode we will be looking at a sequence of photos depicting a rather larger invert being punched out of a section at off the wall. so scroll down and gaze!!!!!!!!

the Mark Mccarthy chronicles vol 1

ok so basically this blog was a uni project and i thought that the quiker i post stuff the quiker il get it over and done with it!!!!
but it became more than a project and now i get super stoked to post good photos of good riders and in the end promote the riders and the photographers for what they do extremely well.....

so as to keep this interesting iv decided to split the photos Mark sent me ,to post on the blog, into volumes.... and this is the first installment of the Mark Mccarthy Chronicles>>>

these Photos are insane!!!!! no other words to describe them.....shot Mark and Lee Kelly for these pics!!!!!! super stoked........

major klevage>>>>

Aden kleve and his brother Josh have really made names for themselves within the S.A bodyboarding scene and its plainlly due to the fact that they rip both prone and dk!!!! younger brother aden sent me this pic after he told me how good they got Kalk bay reef a few weeks back, and when i saw the photo i was super amped to post it .........so check aden in a bomby at the reef!!!!!!!!

tweak that mark

when Mark Mccarthy is in the water its just super easy to sit back and watch him rip.....because that is all he does!!!! after speaking to him the other day he told me that he is getting ready for the last stop on the IBA tour which is in the Canary islands which has insane waves that were exposed in NF7 multiple choice....it has been a dream of mine to go there but until i get footage to share with you of that place, i have a really sicckkk invert of Mark to share!!!! photo by Ian thurtel

Go left

Drop knee is the best stance on a bodyboard and i always get stoked if i see okes shredding even if im in a heat and its not me doing the shredding!!!! heres a photo of Brad showing us how to ride lefts on the knee somewhere in the icy waters of cape town!!!! thanks to eugene vd elst for the footage
