SURFING AND SURFBOARDS As with his art, surfing forms a large part of Brett’s life and indeed that of his family. “Growing up at Lennox and surfing the area was pretty bloody awesome. Boulders Beach was my local. I used to walk through the bush to get to it. Only a few locals back in the day. The place is a bit of a circus nowadays although the recent spate of shark activity seems to have brought it back a notch. “Down here I pretty much surf by myself. It is a pleasure to be in the water all alone and pick any wave that you want, seeing the sun rise. My regular aim is to be barrelled with the stars still out. That is what I love.” Aside from Brett’s night-surfing exploits (call me Mr Chicken but there is no friggin way I would surf at dark down where he lives as much as I love the place) he also gets the chance to regularly share a couple of waves with his partner Joel and daughters Asher and Alex. “Joel has been surfing as long as I have. It’s definitely an added bonus in a relationship having a partner that surfs and now that our kids do it as well it is awesome. It’s a bit of a dream for my missus and I that we would be out surfing with our kids and it’s great it is all happening that way.” A few years back Brett took to shaping a few surfboards of his own. He informs me he is now into double figures having made boards not only for himself but for family and friends. “The main reason I got into making surfboards was because a little while back I became a bit disillusioned with surfing and the techniques of making surfboards and their toxicity. I got to a point I was going to give it away because it was so mainstream and so crazy. Smorgasboarder was in fact the catalyst to getting into making timber surfboards, where I also happened to find the ad for Tree to Sea. It was precisely what I needed to bring my surfing into a more conscious state. Your mag is a breath of fresh air amongst standard mags, which I haven’t purchased for near 20 years. “Down here I pretty much surf by myself. It is a pleasure to be in the water all alone and pick any wave that you want, seeing the sun rise. My regular aim is to be barrelled with the stars still out. That is what I love.” SUMMER 2016 | SMORGASBOARDER 71
