Vonu’s upcoming boat trip is running out of space, and fast. 

Last week, two lucky gents Lewie Dunn And Jarrah Tutton won their way onto the vessel through good ol’ fashioned public camaraderie; now, Ryan Callinan is hopping along for the ride so Lewie, a fellow novocastrian and goofyfooter, doesn’t feel left out.

Originally, the boat trip was planned with Asher and one lucky winner chosen by the crew at Vonu; Otis Carey then received an invite and couldn’t pass up the opportunity, and the amount of nominees were so large that Vonu decided it was best to just bring two nominated crew along on the voyage rather than just the one.

When Lewie and Jarrah were picked for their enthusiasm and ability on a board, we pointed out that Ryan Callinan was one of the gents who nominated Lewie in the first place. As Vonu and everyone else with eyes knows, Ryan’s one of the best goofyfooter’s out there, and after seeing his latest Cloudbreak edit they threw him an invite he couldn’t pass up. Maybe karma is real… 

Asher Pacey twinning out along rifling Cloudbreak walls, with Otis Carey bringing a more standardised thruster flair is a drawcard enough for the trip, but now, by bringing the best goofyfooter who’s not on the tour, the Vonu Express is setting up to be an unrivalled voyage. 

Unfortunately, since the attendees are all decided and the dates are being locked away, you won’t be able to sneak your way onto the vessel to join the antics. But what you will be able to do is watch how the sessions unfold once the boys set their heels into the wax in a few weeks time. 

Before this happens though, you’ll just have to relive Ryan’s last Cloudbreak venture up above and picture what he’ll be doing this time round. 

Head over here for more details about Vonu’s upcoming trip.
