Aquabumps.com - where the waves live

Take II 29th July 2008

Damn ugly down the beach this morning. Howling southerlies, bucketing rain and not a sole on the beach. Very limited options for surfing today – I’d suggest a little sojourn to protected Manly – but a hot mug of frothy cofffee sounds much more inviting at this point. Its a chilly top of 14 degrees today and the swell has picked up somewhat – so you’d find mongrel chop hitting the 5-6 foot heavens. Be patient and wait for this wind to drop – there will be waves.

As I cleaned out my camera bag for the first time in years, I found some Flash cards full of Mentawai Tubes. Check out these 5 caves to get you fired up for the next surf trip…

Teething problems – new site

Ok, so day 1 of the new Aquabumps site and we had a few issues. Thanks for your patience – it may take a few weeks to smooth it all over. We understsand we’ve got speed issues – so yesterdays email newsletter hit your inbox and probably stalled your computer for 3 minutes – got it – and we’ve got a team of people who are a hell of a lot smarter than I working out what happened.
