When you’re willing to sleep on the beach at pipe for 6 weeks straight due to accom falling through and you’ve owned and operated a bodyboarding company for the last decade your a real candidate to take a seat on Luke’s Lounge, and that’s exactly what unfolded.

Pulling up a chair with Michael Ostler in his recently rented retail shop on the Main Street of Caringbah was seriously over due and an absolute time of it was had between the two as they physically sat across from one another chewing the fat and yarning about old times.

They covered the Handpicked brand journey, unbearable living conditions experienced whilst on surf trips and how Michael as never received a free board off Rossi (handpicks shaper extraordinaire).

Lekker bru’s 👌
