It's like all the fairytale castles of the world made into one!
Do you remember, three years ago, when the gorgeous blond CEO and co-founder of SurfStitch, Justin Cameron, quit his 2008 start-up leaving his frumpy brunette co-founder, Lex Pedersen to rock in his cubicle?
It was part three in SurfStitch’s multi-act tragedy that sent the publicly listed company into a trading halt and an eventual buy-out by Alceon, a private-equity group who counts Noni B and Cheap as Chips as their star-studded retail jewels alongside the darling of middle-aged and plus-sized women, EziBuy.
Of course, unimportant details when real estate is on your mind as was the case of Cameron’s in 2015 when he bought his hunk of beachfront paradise, right there in front of North Avalon, 5-7 Marine Parade, for $9.24 million.
Four years later, the joint, on a double-block and renovated to the heavens with five bedrooms and three bathrooms and a fire-pit on the grass overlooking North Av and…oh reader… I’ve seen plenty of castles in the Loire Valley but I’ve never seen anything with such a graceful quality as this.
A fairytale in the middle of a splash of green vegetation on the lower slope of the hot, bare, yellow headland.
It’s fantastic.
Too bad it’s sold already etc.

Who gives a bloody shiite
“Hatchet to the dome!”
Didn’t he mean Tomahawk?
the best Avalon is Mickey.
Yes it’s all on show isn’t it.
I am loving your new focus on real estate D! It’s playing to your best instincts…and my worst ones
I reckon it’s his worst run of form since I’ve known of him
Best part of a year now.
Someone should start a real surf blog.
I’m the boy chimney sweep in a Dickens novel wiping the soot out of my eyes and peering through the windows of the toffs while they eat succulent food and laugh and cavort. Wouldn’t it be loverly etc.
Too bad that tree is ruining the view
And where are the Xmas Decorations …. ?
Nothing a nail soaked in diesel can’t fix…
It ‘frames’ the view, not ruins it. Get your priorities right.
Meanwhile, Teahupoo is officially the site of the 2024 Olympics… Reckon the committee members were watching Pipe last night?
I can imagine a lot of pissed off people in Biarritz , Hossegor and Lacanau .
My god they’ll be furious! They’ve been buttering up the IOC like bad croissants.
Since the 90s
It’ll be passive aggressive fury though
Dancing with tears in their eyes ….
The French Olympic Committee sits at the top of the French Sporting Pyramid from which all subventions flow . So the French Surfing Federation have been in bed with the ISA with the goal of conceiving a baby , surfing as an Olympic Sport, for over 25 years .
I bet the chicks are pissed-well, everyone but Carissa, and maybe KK will make a comeback.
How about a feature on some roach infested North Shore crash pad being shared by 8 blokes on pilgrimage?
Yep . 99% of Surfing’s history has been set , until very recently , in Surf Dens of iniquity and not Wave (front) Gardens of inequality …. ?
the weed maps house?
I wonder if he will think of mr cook when the sale settles
