King of furry boots and liver-lipped snares celebrated by the King of Australia!
The octogenarian inventor of the sheepskin Ugg boot, Shane Stedman, a stallion whose spasming scrotum has hovered above innumerable liver-lipped snares, has been honoured with an Order of Australia medal for services to surfing.
The Order of Australia “is an honour that recognises Australian citizens and other persons for outstanding achievement and service.”
His pro surfer son, the world #11 at one point, Luke Stedman, posted on Instagram:
You have contributed to making Australia better” these were the words from NSW Governor Margaret Beasley to all the recipients of the Order Of Australia medals yesterday which Dad was proud to accept.
Im so bloody proud of you Dad. You have been inspiring me all my life and you are continuing to raise the bar. I’m not sure I’ll get to your level but I will try. Thank you for showing me that with Love, dedication, commitment, passion, never give up attitude you can do anything.
I’m your biggest fan.

Three years ago, Luke, who is forty-seven moved from California to just behind Lennox Head to form a family cocoon, a commune, around daddy Shane, whose health ain’t so great.
Shane had just turned eighty and was a few months out of surgery to remove “balloons” in his chest. These growths squashed his lungs, reducing his ability to breathe by eighty-five percent.
They sold the family house of almost forty years at 61 Hillcrest Avenue at Mona Vale there for five mill and bought a hunk of land at Tintenbar, five miles north-west of Ballina.
“Buying some land, throwing a couple of shacks on it and moving dad up the coast so he can watch the grandkids and we can keep an eye on the old grommet,” Luke said at the time.
An outpouring of love for Shane Stedman is ongoing on Luke’s post:
This is amazing and well deserved!!!” Hayden Cox.
Dead Kooks, “A true icon.”
Bob Hurley, “Shaaaaaaane.
Richie Lovett, “Legend!!”
Jake Paterson, “This is epic. Everyone loves Shane.”
Congratulations to one of the most authentically Australians alive.
Onya Shane-O. You are one of the true nice blokes in the world.
“Thanks dad ,you made it possible for me never to have to work a real job in my life !”
That a girl! Another 100 lbs. lighter, and you’ll have all the blokes chasing ya!
Anyone who’s met him, loves him
Onya Shane

In the Scots dialect spoken around Aberdeen, called Doric, the term pronounced as ‘furry boots’ means ‘where’, and can be broken down as ‘where abouts’ , but with a funny accent.
NOW YOU KNOW.
Luke following in the stead of his father
old friend of mine grew up in the desert in NM. his dad was a nuclear scientist, but crazy as.
sometimes dad would lock he and his brother in a shed out back in the heat or cold, to see if they could survive the night.
he would also tell the boys to run, he’d count, then take shots at them with his rifle….
but you, you make their dad look like a coddling pussy.
you one tough guy.
Yep wedgie man’s one tough cookie..poor fkn kids..

Hopefully he got more than an award. He registered ‘Ugh but sounds like he wasnt that invloved with what we know is Ugg.
Hope old coot got paid though. And good on Steadman for keeping himself in the will.
