Boardworld members mug shots
only been home for a few weeks after a couple of years away so still getting my shit sorted,
hopefully i will see ya out there one dayHey beach, Ive returned home as well from a 4 years stint overseas, still trying to get my sh!t sorted too…Haha! Bloody painful it is! Where abouts did you venture on ya travels???
oh hey surfer
I headed over to whis about 4 years ago on what was sposed to be the beginning of a round the world trip but fell hard in love with the place and never left! worked as a lifty for wb (a highlight was being round for the winter olympics) and then when summer rolled round i couldn’t bring myself to leave. bought a downhill bike and spent my days riding, hiking and chillin by the lakes. i fkn love that place
whereabouts did your travels take ya??
and yeah, i hear ya on how freakin hard it is to be home. and i’m doing it living on my folks couch haha but they’re pretty awesome and they show their love best with food, so that keeps me happy
Ahh yes good old whissss…. Thats where my ventures started in the 08/09 season with Rider26.. I stayed for the spring time up there but then moved down to Sth Florida to jump aboard the super yachts and sail the seas, which i respectively did for over 3 years.. Paid travel… Epic. I did quite a lot of the US, Caribbean islands, Mediterranean, and the EU itself snowboarding around Italy, not to mention Central America and Indonesia. All amazing places and experiences.But now its home time and I’m desperately unemployed and trying to continue my career in the maritime industry!! Super hard.!
Oh take me back to my travels!!!!!
Least your folks are being kind to letting you couch surf it. Id stay with mine but their in Tassie!!!
wow. just wow. sounds like you were living the dream bud. i always thought sailing the seas would be a pretty sweet way to see the world. i’m a little jealous to be honest! i think trekking south and central america is next for me, althou a buddy i met in whis just headed to cambodia to buy a hostel over there so that’s a pretty big lure too!
haha yeah, soooo hard hey. i too am desperately unemployed and pretty much broke down and busted ass financially so i wont be heading anywhere until i can get a job and some coin sorted. but if ya figure a way to get back to the travels without it, lemme know yeah!! or ya know, if ya need a deckhand on ya desk adventure
(incidentally), i did just apply for a deckhand position on the seaworld nara whale watching boat cause i can’t stand the thought of working inside again haha)
Yeah you gotta live the dream at some point in your life.. I was fortunate enough to do it for that long! Totally get ya about being busted ass and broke.. Man life was good over there! But i guess all roads lead home eventually! And besides im not getting any younger dammit!
Thats cool that your looking into a deckie gig!! You should look into the super yacht path here in aus. There’s a few boats around the summer time that are always looking to crew, and alot of the mini yachts out of sydney harbour are always looking for stew’s and deckies. I could even point you in the right direction.. If your located around sydney i could help
If i find a way of getting back OS with no coin ill hit you up.. Now where did i put my transporter machine??
yeah you do!! and i was pretty lucky in that i didn’t have to work for almost the last two years over there! lives of savings and bummed around so i have had it pretty good!! am def paying for that now thou haha
yeah, i’m not holding out much hope. don’t really have much in the way of experience but i am just looking outside the box i guess. i used to be a forensic scientist back in my former life and 5 years of autopsies and seeing the worst that people can do to each other has made me a firm believer in finding your happy, without compromise. just not sure i wanna go back to that hey. i am currently up on the gold coast in qld but if things don’t work out here, and i find myself down your neck of the woods, that would be super really appreciate it hey! and getting into the oil/gas industry certainly sounds like a lucrative way to support your lifestyle!! I hope ya find a way to get into it!! would be winning indeed
haha yeah, you might’ve left it parked next to mine and i just can’t find that fker!!! or ya know, if ya just ever need a sympathetic shoulder to lament about the good ole days, i’m ya girl

Always gotta look outside the box, doing autopsies sounds a bit hectic! A life a sea would be much more rewarding!! Hehe!
I love the goldy! Epic waves. Some of the people can be a bit superficial though which i find shite. But all in all its a rad place for mates, partys and waves..
Im sure ill be using your sympathetic shoulder a lot!! Haha!

and yeah, it certainly had it’s moments but i think i have fallen in love with being outside as much as possible so that’s what i’m aiming for now! and you’re not wrong about the goldie hey. i moved away when i was 17 for that very reason, so i’m struggling a little with being back!! the beach is my sanctuary
