Rowley would GO...

One of the stories that's been sowing up in my FB page for the last couple of months is Jeff Rowley's Charge for Charity.

I met Rowley in G-Land, in the Souteastern tip of Java, Indonesia. A meaningful name for any surfer, we saw G'land pumping for a good couple of days.

They say there's only once chance to make a good impression, and my first sight of this lanky goofy looking Victorian was watching him piggy dogging and fighting his way out of a 6 ft freight training pit at Money Trees... "He rips" I thought.

We surfed a few times during that week, including one solid 6 ft session at Speedies in which with their loud and pushing "Go Fonzie GOOOO!" Jeff and Boogs made me paddle into some of the best waves of my life for sure.

Nowadays Rowley is still charging big waves, and fighting a big cause with it. He's commited himself in catching a 20 ft wave (hawaiian meassure) before the end of February 2011, he's trying to get himslef voted into The Quiksilver in Memory of Eddie Aikau competition in Waimea, Hawaii, and he's fundraising for the Keep-A-Breast Foundation

You can check an introductory video on his website or you can check it out here (well internet is not cooperating in Tunisia right now so you can check it out in his website) and you can visit his firstgiving site and sponsor his good cause here

He's been surfing, he's been training, he's been swiming, and doing a great bloody job with all his fundraising. A great effort mate!
