Yallingup is a small surfer town in Western Australia where we spent a couple of months surfing and writing songs. The laidback feeling of the area and amount and variety of waves represent well the 10 songs on this album.
A couple of songs for this album were written in Sunzal on surftrips over the last 10 years. Others were written on the road around the world in the 4 years after the 2nd album Produced by Al-Berto & the Fried Bikinis Recorded, mixed and masterd by Lukas Speissegger www.speissegger.ch

After the success in the video clips of those songs the demand for more grew in the climbing scene. So the whole album was recorded in 2009.
After a year of climbing and surfing a lot of ideas were ready to be recorded and 'check me out' was born on a classic 8-track recorder. 10 Songs reflecting on a incredible year. Here two songs we still play on concerts.
