We all know Donavon is a big hippy (much like his buddies Riverock and Skydar) and likes to live in Harmony with the Earth, and all its diverse life. But did Big D realize he was bodysurfing with Great W?
In the sequence below it seems Great W is swimming towards what he/she makes out to be a tall gawky seal. Luckily as Great W gets closer he/she notices- “Ah shiett- it’s just that hippy guy Donavon, man I love that guy!”
My buddy Kent just sent me these images, “While in the editing bay Greg (the director of the Drive Thru Series) was sorting through the water footage and found this sharky silhouette. Looks like Donavon and Greg weren’t alone on that body surfing session.”
Apparently Donavon had just pulled through the back of a wave while bodysurfing, and had no idea a shark was so close by. They only recently noticed it while editing the movie. Come check out the premier of the New Drive Thru Australia next Thursday night the 30th at our Sloat Shop. All the details are posted a couple of blog posts below.

Spend two crazy weeks driving, surfing and traveling thru some of Australia's most incredible coastlines. From kangaroos to sky diving, shark scares to golfing the Drive Thru Australia is packed with hilarious hijinks and incredible surfing. The crew also scored a few sessions with local guides Parko, Taj and Dean.
Producer Greg Browning says, "As far as the surfing is concerned its hands down the best so far on any Drive Thru. It was an amazing crew of surfers and the perfect country to go to."
