The legendary Doug Hocken, former president of Inverloch Windsurfing Club, was stitched up by his mates when they printed some photos of his face and started posting them around Melbourne area. They gave me a couple to take on my travels and in March 2013 I stuck it to windsurfings most famous road sign- where it remains to this day! The Hookipa Lookout- as recently featured on Starboard's website- http://www.star-board.com/2013/news_events/read.php?post_name=pwa-aloha-classic-day-6

As Vice President of the Inverloch Windsurfing Club, I may have had something to do with the design and distribution of the stickers...they have now appeared in New Zealand and Japan., as well as all over Australia. They have a bit of a cult following and unfortunately our stocks are depleted so these stickers are now collector's items!
To see the sticker pop up after surviving nearly a year in Hawaii's climate is testimony to the fact that you can make a joke last a lifetime!
Well done Cribby, thanks for playing!

Ahem... Its nice to be famous

Radio interviews , press releases

I am available for lectures and autograph signings for a small price

Just because me and a few mates set up a windsurfing club, how about that.

BTW for those that do not know much about Inverloch Windsurfing Club there are a few serious pranksters including the two people above and they took a pic of me putting on a serious face and another club member printed off a few hundred! Apart from being plastered over Inverloch and peoples bodies I pop up on cafe doors, in airports, on SUP 's in the snow(thanks Wooz), Canberra, Brisbane, Hookipa and rumour has it I am off to the ski slopes of Austria right now.
