The Mad Hueys are a different breed. The Hazza twins, Dean and Shaun Harrington, started the brand very organically. It feels odd to call it a “brand,” because it basically began when the Harringtons entered a fishing tournament, called themselves the Mad Hueys, made a few t-shirts for shits and giggles, and probably did a shoey or two to mark the occasion.
Now, all these years later, the Mad Hueys has become something of a club. A brand, yes, with merch and sponsored riders, but a club nonetheless. It’s a place for charging in every sense of the word. Hair straight back, whether it’s on a wave or at a party.
Snapper Rocks might be considered the Mad Huey’s local spot. When it’s on there, you’re very likely to see at least a handful of Mad Hueys sitting behind the infamous rock, and the latest YouTube offering covers a handful of swells that recently lit the Gold Coast’s finest wave up.
“Eli Olson was in town and when he wasn’t sinking beers with the boys at Kirra Pub,’ the Hueys said, “he was packing perfect sand bottom tubes. Buckle up, grab a beer and enjoy!”
