I was in Byron Bay last week when a hippy got caught in a rip. I tried to save him but he was too far out man.

It's OK he has been found. He is in IMax's Drunk Rant Post. Currently celebrating his survival with a Corona, and putting it down to the fact that using balloons as breasts really was a good idea!

He was obviously using a Haish Chopper and can't handle short wide heads.
