The New Guy

So I'm the new guy around here. I can still remember my first day at a new school when I was 8 years old. They were changing to a new uniform in the second term so the Headmaster told my mother to buy the new one from the outset instead of wasting cash buying the old one and the new one. So she did. And I rocked up on my first day wearing a different uniform than every other kid in the whole school! Awesome! That day was not in my top 1000 and it kinda made me not like being the new guy. But, here I am doing it all over again. But for the record, I don't feel like an outcast this time and I'm not wearing a school uniform while I write this. I'll be writing some guest posts here on Stay Inverted from time to time so I should probably introduce myself. My name is Shane Rielly and I'm from East London, on the south coast of South Africa for those of you who don't line in SA. I started bodyboarding when I was 12 and have loved it ever since. I've never had a sponsor, I surfed for my province at SA's 9 or 10 times and never got better than 16th and I don't particularly care. I've surfed insane waves and have awesome mates and know some mental spots around the East London area. Right now my girl and I are living in London in the UK. If you're wondering why - that's a very good question, but just because it's a good question doesn't mean it has an answer. Tomorrow we are going to Thurso in Scotland and hoping to score some mad waves. I just recently started a blog called Video Surf Guide where the posts will hopefully mainly be video - so I guess it's a video blog or vlog if you're into that word (I'm not!). It's worth a look I reckon and I'm actually typing this while I should be editing the first 3 videos for VSG so when I'm done there should be some new vids up soon! Check out some shots of my home town below and I'll catch you next time!
