Mitch Rawlins - No Friends "Lost Cause" from FOUNDBOARDS.COM on Vimeo.
Growing up at home there was a huge group of about 30 or 40 of us that used to meet in the dark on our bikes every morning, surf for 2 hrs before school...Last one in would have flat tyres. All hang out at school, and then all surf again after school.We all had our ''favourite riders'' and it was a bit of a competition to see who's rider would get the most shots in the latest mags and who could make the biggest wall at home. (rawlins wall,hardy wall etc.)
Me and a few others took it to the next level of being Rawlins groupies. We used to get the same colour boards, only wear churchills, cross our legs the same way, deliberately get sunburnt to get a singlet tan like rawlins in the mentawais, Dubb a tape of ONLY rawlins sections,wear rashies over wetsuits for no reason but to look like a photo of his, i had 3 walls filled and half of my roof filled with rawlins cut outs (still there), on the way to school i'd stop at my mates and we would watch the Rawlins section on lost cause 3 times then try make it to school on time.
It's funny to look back now and have a laugh about it. Everyone has hero's, i think we were just a bit obsessed.
