But we forgot to talk about that. Can you tell us about this film, Self Discovery for Social Survival? It was a bit random the way it came about. We had just been on tour with the Dumb Punts, and then we finished and got asked to go on this boat.

We just fucken drank all day and fished and surfed and we had a ball. It comes out today, and you guys have a pretty meaty section. Do you know the concept for the movie? Not really, nah. Do you know who did yours? He was such a nice dude. He was getting super pitted on his boogie board in the arvos, and out there on the shortboard too every now and then, and yeah he was cruising.

It kind of goes in waves where you hang out heaps and then you all feel it individually that you have to tap out and do your own little thing for a little bit, and then you miss the lads again and reunite and do surf trips or music. There was this one skate movie I remember that I used to have when I was younger, it was a Zero movie called New Blood , and it had a really crazy soundtrack, and that got me into heaps of bands like The Mekons and the Velvet Underground and Minor Threat. Can you tell us about Ari Browne?

What was the trip like with Ari? Some of the waves were hard to film, so no-one would film, but he would surf all day, and just be spinning around doing crazy shit. Ari is good at drawing and doing backflips off the boat!

Monster Children. All while taking various time differences into minor consideration and just generally hoping for the best, of course. Or really a reason to chat to. I was going to have a couple beers, go down to the pub and… yeah! Friday arvo. Is it all open? A bit more rural and out in the country, so, we only have to wear masks in the shopping centre or in restaurants. But also not really because some places just stopped carding.

Yeah and of course we like to make things a little extra political for no odd reason. Yeah, yeah. I spent a little bit of time there. Northern NSW now, yeah. Just an hour south of the Gold Coast. About the corner from Byron pretty much. Since this whole COVID thing has happened and like no one has been able to travel, all the holiday destinations like Byron and Margaret River and Crescent Head and all those cute little towns have seen the rich people from Sydney and the cities moving there.

Yeah, when I lived in Sydney for some time I remember that happening quite rapidly through areas like Redfern and Newtown. They were basically two different places from when I arrived and when I left.

It sucks, hey? So can you go state to state? Were you able to go up to the Gold Coast or Cooly or wherever for that recent-ish mental swell? Feel like all I saw for weeks on this end was just a Kirra video followed by a Kirra video followed by another Kirra video. Too crowded for me. But then there was a little window there where he opened it up, about the time the comp was on. So I went over there for about two months and caught up with family and did some surfing and stuff.

Queensland just closed their borders. It sounds like you at least have a good amount of space to wander around in, though. We got a couple road trips down the coast which is nice. You know like the South Coast and Forster.

But, yeah. Nothing crazy. The year before was really good but this year has been a bit slow. Unless you want to go up to the Gold Coast and tap into things there. And everyone in the water is a bit crazy. A bit aggro. Just been surfing Lennox a little bit. Well, Noa got two boards off the internet off this guy… I think on Gumtree? Something like that. Or early Os. I have a little bit of a sore back lately so have been going pretty chill mode on that.

Lots of slow-motion surfing, which has been fun. I feel like you can still whip that around though, no? You riding one during your Cult Of Freedom part and that obviously was working real nice. Yeah, yeah, yeah! I think that was the first batch of boards that I got off Dahlberg and then, yeah, pretty much been riding his boards pretty much ever since then. Yeah the turns are definitely a bit more drawn out. They go so well. Yeah, he shapes out of Yamba!

Mat, obviously, there with the second one. Not Shaun. Just trying to hone in on it I guess. Nice outlines and these thin volume rails that he does that are pretty slashy. He shares a bay with Gunther and Neal Purchase Jr. Have you been doing stuff with WASH lately? I guess lockdown to not lockdown to back to lockdown has been inspiring a bit of songwriting.

Just on a drum machine and synth and stuff. Taught myself how to record, really… poorly. Yeah, hah! It still has a WASH kind of vibe to it. Recording myself doing some funky shit. Like, recording a broom on pavement and just different little sounds. What have you been listening to music wise? I remember you talking about Witch in the last thing I saw of you and that band is sick! Such a good vibe. Savage a bit. And, what else? Always listening to a bit of Ween and Frank Black.

I actually went through a crazy Chemical Brothers session for a few months there. So that was kinda cool. Dude, I love a good, old-fashioned Chemical Brothers bender. I kind of started in the 90s and then worked my way to now. But, yeah, I love that earlier stuff.
