hahah i could watch that hardy vert in your sig all day! ahah title rules too

as for brendo calling it quits that sucks, but at least he didn't kill himself surfing seriously dances with death on some of the waves hes surfs.

I'm sure he'll still surf and when he does there'll be a bit of footage/photos here and there that pops up.

i still can't believe it...such a huge loss! brendo was such a charger, but he definetly did the right thing...i reckon it would have been a super hard decision for him, my heart goes out to that bloke :(

thats such a sick vid.
Waves like that are what i dream of charging someday. And perhaps even get that ripped! Brendo has pretty massive guns. Must be working out pretty hard lol.

His an apsolute legend and gave the sport even more credibility. Unfortunately his hard work didn't pay of in terms of making enough money to support his family. He made a decision to put his family first which is the right decision. If every one only supported the companies that support bodyboarding than there would be a lot more money for pro bodyboarders to ride a lid as a career.

he charges and that deserves respect but is his surfing limited to just pushing himself into bombs
do you think you'd be impressed with him in 4 foot surf????

issue 164 of riptide.. page 68
newton is interviewing harry dixon (who i think is super under rated and is the full bodyboarding package) where did he go?
anyway.....
he asks questions like ".......have you been as loyal to others as you have to me...?"
"we grew up surfing together... how have i influenced you over the years?"
etc
i have read similar things where he just talks himself up....
i don't know if its his spiritual beliefs that make him appear arrogant.....

he is just way to into himself and his technical surfing is poor in comparison to the guys he surfs with....

just my opinion dont get your knickers in a twist....

Harry runs VU clothing label. His stuff was recently seen being sported by Chris Cornells bass player (Chris is the Front man to legendary Seatle band Soundgarden and Audioslave). Heres the youtube link with the evidence. http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=a5ZWbM5doT8

brendo is still quite sound in his technical surfing
ive seen footage of him at blackrock and hes got a mean spinner on him haha

i think its bullshit though, no offence to anyone, how this guys just out there pushing the limits than everyone seems to identify him as the enemy, when it comes to big wave charging
like hes just doing it cause hed enjoy it and can

ahhh well
