the end.
Okay so this will be my last post unless I have to post another blog for some reason.
I have really enjoyed posting blogs and reading every ones blogs, it has been very interesting.
Unfortunately I didn't finish the book before the deadline but I will continue reading it because it has been a very interesting book. This is the only book (besides picture books) that I have enjoyed reading and probably the only book that I haven't put down because it was to boring.
Sorry to disappoint everyone with not being able to finish it before the deadline, I strongly suggest that you rent the movie out and read the book.
Below I have attached a picture of Mark Mathews and the 20k wave that he won the Australian Big Surfing Titles on.

Goodbyee.

Jaiii
Not to sure.

Holla,
Today I am going to be giving you an overview of the book and how much i enjoyed it.
I am really positive that I am not going to finish the book in time because i still have a fair bit to go but I promise to you that I will keep reading till' I finish it:)
Okay so Sunny Jai and Koby are three brothers all with different dads but the same mum, they were brought up in New Zealand by their mother, when Sunny was 3 they mover in with "ma" which is sort of like their foster mum, who lives in Marlboro.
After a while they moved in with "ma" to escape from all theirs mums bad habits with drugs and what not.
By the time all the boys are old enough and pretty good surfers they all go away and do their own thing chasing their own dreams.
In the blog I do tonight i will tell you how all the boys end up and how well they are going on with their lives.
cachta laterrrr.

hammerhead
When I got home from footy training i read a bit of my book:)
The bit I am going to tell you about this time is when sunny and all his mates go to hammerhead. Hammerhead is a big cliff, and there is a few different levels, there is a 20ft drop, 50 ft drop and a 100ft drop. Its not deep there, you can touch the bottom. One time they took their mate billy up there, and he looks of the 100ft cliff and walks back and runs up and does a huge backflip of the cliff.
from that day on, he was a legend...says Sunny
bye for now:)
two more days to go.

Okay so again I will tell you a part in the story what I found interesting.....
So koby is telling us about one time at pipeline and he was surfing at the first reef break and he noticed a guy laying on his body board out at the third reef break, and no one surfs out at the third reef break. As the day goes on koby catches his wave in, and he noticed that there is a body board on shore and the guy that he saw out at 3rds was nowhere to be seen. Koby paddles back out and see's a body lying on the reef at 2dns, so he quickly pulls up his body on his board, and lays him down on his board. When they get back to shore layed him down and started giving him mouth to mouth, after a few minutes "clubbies" come down and help koby out. Turns out he has been dear for a couple of days.
Later that day koby is at home and gets a call from the "clubbies", the guy on the phone says,
"Koby are you sitting down?"
“Yeah why?"
“koby the guy you gave mouth to mouth to has AIDS"
Koby realises that he had sucked in about 5 litres of AIDS water.
The next day koby went to the doctors to get an AIDS test to see if he has AIDS and turns out he ......... doesn’t have AIDS.
Thats all for now:)
josh.

230/ 490
I'm going to tell you a little bit about what i read last night. Okay so there is this one bit in the book where koby and his mates were in the stage of getting their tattoos, saying " bra boys" but the boys didn't want to be a gang, they wanted to be a brotherhood. there was about 10 of them getting tattoos and koby went 3rd, and he got the biggest tattoo out of all of them and by the stage of number 10 kobys was one of the smallest.
Koby and his mates didn't want to show of their tattoos because they didn't want to be know as "homies" like the guys that came up to fight them.
So the boys all ways coverd up their tattoos and made sure they did not get the name of "homies".
I will keep you updated with the posts i have been a bit slack the last week so hopefully i will post every second day.
If you have any questions just ask:)

Bra Boys Trailer
This is the bra boys trailer, it gives you a quick show of what the movie is about. I strongly suggest if you have been following my posts to go to the video store and hire it out and watch it, it is really worth your money. When I first watched it it was a real buzz for me, I thought that these guys were mad fighting everyday and surfing 3 times a day. I am hoping to get the DVD out this weekend and watch it again. It really gives you an inside to their life and how they lived.
If you do get it out, tell me what you think about it.
