There's a feller who has a metal works south of Adelaide. Part artist, part brute. Makes sculptures to take your breath away.

Spends weeks wrestling steel in showers of sparks and clouds of steam.. and when the dust settles.. well.. ding my quiver if the guy ain't a genius.

Surfs. He competed as a grom. But quickly sought less crowded waves than a 3 man heat could offer him. These days he just gets wet to keep his pop up clutch, and to wash off the metal filings. And temporarily soothe his scorched hands, face and soul.

Plays guitar and hollers. Rumor is he hung around the Century Hotel in a brand new leather jacket as a micro-grom, chatting to the jaded old punks. Had a few bands himself.. Numbskulls, Slingshot.. played with the Exploding White Mice.

Goes by the name of Murf.

Murf from Blue Temper.

Haha, before the spines went on I would have agreed. That weevil of pigdog's is a cracker.
