For The Love cover

I was listening to Radio National when an interview with Phil Jarratt came on. I scrambled around for some cables and managed to get part of it recorded (see below). Jarratt is talking about the just-published book he helped Kelly Slater write and he throws in a few tidbits (eg Slats’ interesting theory about homogenized milk) to get the interest up. The book’s called For the Love, it retails in the US for USD35 and it sounds kinda interesting. Should be some pretty nice pics too…

Hi Everyone,

Here’s a link to the Billabong Pro Mundaka 2008 – DAY 6 VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS on RealSurf.tv

Here’s a link to video of Kelly Slater’s winning heat yesterday. This was sent in by Darren Reinke. You can check out other cool vids and stuff by Darren at www.firststoke.com. Thanks for sharing, Darren.

RealSurfer Marcus van Riet explains:

The interview is a recording of Dr Phil Chapman reading his notes of a case report he gave to me, and the conversation between myself, the doc and Matt Dobell regarding the near death of a surfer at G land on the 15Th of September 2008.
I am sending this recording to you guys so that the story of how a man nearly died at G land from lack of outside help may be prevented in the future possibly published in some way, and assume you will not edit the story or recording too far from the facts (within reason).
dr Phils email addresses are incuded for you to contact him if need be, he can get you in contact with others at the camp.
