First time i rode a lid it was 1984, but i got my 1st board in 1989 when i was 12 and been hooked ever since.
-What inspired you to get a sponge under your belly?
Seeing the inside of a barrel when i was about 6 swimming in a shorey out the front of my place at wanda shorey, then when I was 7 i was introduced to the ultimate barrel machine. Being from a place full of heavy sketchy reef ledges and no real beach breaks or wedges, barrels are the main thing im into, actually Barrel riding is still my main focus/goal in life... Nothing beats the feeling.

Heavy reef ledges, short or long.
-Would You Rather Bodyboard 25Foot Waimea Bay Shorey or Bodyboard 10foot Dry Pitching Cyclops?
Maybe 10 years ago when i was fit and un-injured, i would have attempted the Clops. But now i would just shoot them from the water and maybe snaffle one snaky 6 footer. MAYBE!
-You Are Bodyboarding 10foot Nuggan And A Section Loom's Up Infront Of You - Would You Rather Pull Into That Section And Get The Barrel of A Lifetime or Launch Of That Section And Pull A Massive Tweaked Invert.
Nuggan? Wheres that? Barrel anyday, I havent got anything to prove to any one.

A fat cutback to forward in the pocket.

Barrels and reefs for sure, although beachies are heavier in my opinion and can catch you by surprise

-Would You Rather Bodyboard 25Foot Waimea Bay Shorey or Bodyboard 10foot Dry Pitching Cyclops?
Cyclops for sure not into the hawaiian surf really, maybe pipe but still not fussed

-You Are Bodyboarding 10foot Nuggan And A Section Loom's Up Infront Of You - Would You Rather Pull Into That Section And Get The Barrel of A Lifetime or Launch Of That Section And Pull A Massive Tweaked Invert.

Hardy for sure, reverse to roll

-Name/age
Caspian Yurisich, 23.
-Where Are You From / Local Wave?
Perth Local wave is probably City Beach, but these days I probably surf Boodj more then anywhere else..
-How long have you been riding for?
On and off for about 12 years.
-What inspired you to get a sponge under your belly?
Did it as a kid and got good at it back in the day. I guess because it's fun? And WA is definitely lid territory..
-What board(s) do you have?
One horribly dinged manta proXT 44"
-Do you reckon you'll still be tearing up on the sponge in 20 years time?
most likely
-What are your favourite sorts of waves (barrels/wedges/reefs/beachies etc) ?
Lately the whole short, punchy, square and shallow style wave has been giving me a boner. It's what bodyboards are best for.
-Would You Rather Bodyboard 25Foot Waimea Bay Shorey or Bodyboard 10foot Dry Pitching Cyclops?
Not sure about 10ft low tide clops but 6ft high tide clops is the dream (hopefully a reality, sometime this year).. So the latter I guess.
-You Are Bodyboarding 10foot Nuggan And A Section Loom's Up Infront Of You - Would You Rather Pull Into That Section And Get The Barrel of A Lifetime or Launch Of That Section And Pull A Massive Tweaked Invert.
can't really see 10ft Nuggan offering the barrel of a lifetime.. So invert.
-Assuming you had the skillz of Ryan Hardy (prone) or Roach (DK) - what move would you make in the end section after a pumping barrel at Hawaii Pipe?
Handdrag 360 + flop roll
-You now have the wallet of Richard Branson (super rich dude). You can pick a country anywhere in the world (but only one) to find fresh breaks in and sponge your brains out - where would you choose to go?
Tough question. For scenery, potential and uncrowdedness, I'll say Canada.
-You're given the editorial reins of Riptide Mag, what feature would you include in every issue?
Something to promote shark hysteria/thin out crowds
-You can go with 4 legend riders to any break in the world. Which riders and which break would you choose?
Prefer to go with friends. But anyway.. Hardy, Rawlins, Hughes, Winny, I guess.
-You Are Organizing A Trip To A Remote New Break, You Have Access To Any Photographer Of Your Choice To Come And Document This Occasion, Who Would You Pick?
I'd check to see if my shift key is stuck on first. but Mr.Gallagher I guess.
-And bang up a PHOTO! Go on, get your mug on the forum so we can see who we’re chatting to and maybe we'll know who to paddle up to and say g'day out on the froth too!

[ralphy]

-Name/age:
Stephen Ralph, 24, numerous nicknames such as Ralphy, Chief, Kong, Pier

-Where Are You From / Local Wave?
When i started surfing i was living in Secret Harbour, down near Mandurah WA. Lived in Mandurah, now Perth and in 2 weeks time Mount Magnet. Local waves were Secrets, Singoes and Madora

-How long have you been riding for?
No idea, 10 years maybe

-What inspired you to get a sponge under your belly?
My family moved to the coast so i thought id better make the most of it. I had previously mucked around on a boogie when we went to the beach but really got into it when we moved to the coast.

-What board(s) do you have?
Currently i have a custom PE QCD, PP AKA and a Turbo Mason that i have had for over a year and not taken it out of its wrapper yet, all are 42.5"

-Do you reckon you'll still be tearing up on the sponge in 20 years time?
I hope I will be, it all depends upon where I will be working, although distance makes the heart grow fonder so I guess this year in the desert will make me want to surf more and longer.

-What are your favourite sorts of waves (barrels/wedges/reefs/beachies etc) ?
Anything that Barrels, although i dont think you can beat a 4-6ft beachy with crystal clear water, some barrels, some ramps and a lack of crowds.

-Would You Rather Bodyboard 25Foot Waimea Bay Shorey or Bodyboard 10foot Dry Pitching Cyclops?
10-15ft Teahupoo, at least i have a chance of making the channel and if i was to come off, at least i would die in the most beautiful wave in the world.

-You Are Bodyboarding 10foot Nuggan And A Section Loom's Up Infront Of You - Would You Rather Pull Into That Section And Get The Barrel of A Lifetime or Launch Of That Section And Pull A Massive Tweaked Invert:
Barrel, easily, nothing beats the feeling of being swallowed by a decent sized pit and then come screaming out of it

-Assuming you had the skillz of Ryan Hardy (prone) or Roach (DK) - what move would you make in the end section after a pumping barrel at Hawaii Pipe?
I would hoot my head off most probably, but if I was Hardy i would bust a huge carve into reverse and if i was Roach i would just do a massive forehand carve, spraying all the standups who were paddeling back out.

-You now have the wallet of Richard Branson (super rich dude). You can pick a country anywhere in the world (but only one) to find fresh breaks in and sponge your brains out - where would you choose to go?
Im gonna have to say Spain, the whole northern coastline has heaps of waves but I am sure there are heaps more secrets out there. The climate and the people there are amazing so thats where i would head. This was a close toss up between Ireland as well.

-You're given the editorial reins of Riptide Mag, what feature would you include in every issue?
Has to be a DK feature in every issue. I would also like to see some more travel, even some tips etc

-You can go with 4 legend riders to any break in the world. Which riders and which break would you choose?
Well the first person I would take would be Jennifer Hawkins, hands down, no female comes close. If i could take her then i wouldnt want to bring anyone else along but if i had to then id take Damian King, Mike Stewart and Mason Rose

I'm not fussy, definately feel a heap more confident surfing wedging or barreling beachies but

-Would You Rather Bodyboard 25Foot Waimea Bay Shorey or Bodyboard 10foot Dry Pitching Cyclops?
im not sure, cyclops would be sick, but Waimea bay looks like it has a better fun/death ratio

You Are Bodyboarding 10foot Nuggan And A Section Loom's Up Infront Of You - Would You Rather Pull Into That Section And Get The Barrel of A Lifetime
