This is a link to a number of short stories I have written about a fictitious surfing character. Mostly I've kept it confined to the longboarding forum, but I will add it here, to see if I can pick up some new readers. I appreciate feedback and useful criticism. I will continue posting the updates in the longboarding forum if your interested. Cheers

I freakin loved the story so far!
You really have a talent for writing Anthony, have you been published yet?
As others have said, you have a writing style similar to Robert G Barrett, one of Australia's great simple writers.
You have brilliant foresight in building characters, though I'm not sure if it's intentional or not - if it's the latter then you are most definitely a natural.
Don't stop writing mate, cause its sensational to read!

Just caught up with this AntG.

It has taken my lunch hour + a good bit of the arvo + a double shot long black & a lamington to catch up.

Love the style & the story - don't change a thing.

It reminds me of Peter Carey's "True History of the Kelly Gang" in some ways, as in:
"The novel is written in a distinctive vernacular style, with little in the way of punctuation or grammar; the influence of Kelly's Irish heritage is also apparent in his language."
At first sort of difficult style to read (in comparison to novel style) but then you understand that it fits the story like a glove.

Don't change or correct anything

cheers
