Aquabumps.com - where the waves live

Calmness.
Looking out the gallery windows I can see blanketing sunshine. Cleared up a lot from this morning’s greyness. It’s still. Dead calm. And if there was a 4 metre swell hittin’ town it would be pumping. But it’s knee high to a grasshopper. And unsurfable. With a predicted sticky 28 degrees, cut the working day short and go for a swim. Check the blue water off Tahiti in these shots (taken last year) – now that’s what I’m talking about – or how about that big fat Teahuppo tube. That’ll distract you. No photoshop dance work there. It’s that blue.

Crystal ball.
Weekend will have small waves (around waist to a small man’s chest [beo]). it’s coming from the ENE with north winds until Sunday night. Couple of showers. Not a good surf weekend. Monday/Tuesday next week should have waves from the south with a new swell. But the flanking south wind will make it bumpy on Monday. Tuesday you might get an early morning offshore.

Easter in Mentawai Islands
From 30th March – 11th April 2007, 46 foot powercat Tengirri is setting sail for the Mentawai Islands and there are 3 spare spots. Keen? Approx $4k per head.

Gallery.
In North Bondi, 98 Brighton Boulevard to be exact, lives the Aquabumps Photo Gallery where the cream of these photos live. Oh and they need homes. Some come by this weekend 10am to 4pm and have a look see. info
