Known as the loosest night in Australian surfing, the Rip Curl Pro Media Party was on tonight down in Torquay. I didn’t make it last year, so I can’t vouch for it’s looseness, but this one was pretty fun. With a strong turn out (it was packed by 8:00pm) complete with a team of Halloween Costumed waitress and half-naked-interpretive-dance-girl-in-the-corner it will be one to remember. If you want to see some more photos (and trust me you do) please read on…

Does the slutty-sailor costume ever get old? I think not.

Nick, me, Arna and Kate – Arna was having a quiet one.

This Rip-Curl Boardshort Collective was pretty cool, read here for more detail.

It got weird…

OK, so I have to be honest, I didn’t really understand what was going on here. I think it was supposed to be a semi-naked girl getting painted like she was wearing a wetsuit, but like her dancing, it was open to interpretation…

Famous? I’m not sure, but they were filming him, so I thought I’d take a photo.

Would you say this is a good handjob? (Get it? She is a giant hand and it’s her job!)

Good turn out.

Trouble? Joel, Quintin and Tom… me looking nervous in the background.

Um…Nice Cans.
