Congratulations fellas. 21/10/05 Harry's
recovery is coming along quicker than expected. " I got my last
little wire things out my heal yesterday and the doctor reckons
I can start to walk next week. My physio said as soon as I can walk
on them I should be able to surf which is good news", he said. Agreed,
good news indeed. Winston
and Parkway Drive are currently on tour in support of their debut
album "Killing With A Smile". They have been selling out shows all
over Australia, impressing everyone in attendance. If they haven't
been through your town yet, be sure to check 'em out when they do.
Novy
has been laying low of late at home on Queensland's Sunshine Coast
only appearing when and where the swell awakes from it's prolonged
slumber. He has pulled the pin on this years Hawaii season opting
to rather hang out in Oz and do a trip to a secluded location with
his mates. We will see what comes of this soon enough. 17/10/05 The
board shorts have finally arrived and will be available in stores
across Australia this week. Click this

fabric, the boardies are emblazed with an embroidered corporate
whore patch and are available with or without a side pocket, whatever
suits your fancy. Check 'em out at your local UNITE. stockist or

GIBSON JOINS QCD Jarrod
Gibson, former Odyssey and 4Play team shaper, joins Todd Quigley
at his QCD custom factory on the NSW Central Coast. With the demand
for Todd's hand shaped creations reaching fever pitch, an extra
set of hands were needed and Jarrod's shaping skills and experience
will more than fill the void. TQ is stoked to have Jarrod on board
and with two shapers, Todd hopes to reduce the waiting period for
a custom and begin testing on new designs that will help keep QCD
at the forefront of performance bodyboard design. 15/10/05 Harry
Dixon Update.
"I just got back from Queensland. I went up there for a few days
with my chick to soak up some sun and get out a bit. Everything
with my feet is going good and I should be back in the water within
a month". 13/10/05 Michael
