Antman going nuts

Is it Antman because thats the size he looks in relation to the drops he takes or because like those indestructible little insects he often has 100 times his body weight landing on his noggin only to get back up and do it again. This time Mark Brandis takes the beating ,These guys drive Utes (traybacks) out of necessity just to carry their gonads !
Heres a coupla shots of an isolated reef , no one around except the RAAF Eye in the Sky, Antman Patterson and Mark Brandis - West Aust last Thursday May 10,2007. Shots by Jamie Scott.

Tahiti Teahuppo, Trials Action

Teahuppo 1 May 2007.
Its over 12 years since winning the event for the first time at 16 years of age and until that day none of the top 40 had seen 10-12 foot (Hawaiin)waves for a comp at Teahuppo.
For Koby it was his lifetime break, $8000 at the time was the more money than he had ever earn't in his life and it paved the way for a lifetime of Wildcard Entries to this comp not to mention a life as a professional surfer.
This week he was knocked out in the quarter finals of the Trials by the new guard Manoa Drollet who went on to win the trials, young and hungry. Whilst Kobes directs his"media manager" to deal with mis-quoted articles about his fame,has little training due to a movie meeting in LA with Hollywoods greats and a brief stint with his New York supermodel partner ,Moana Drollet has done one thing, visualize and focus on the next event at hand in an effort to get a leg into the door of worlds surfing stardom,a reminiscent scenario perhaps. Heres some snaps.
