Stealth 21st April 2011

This morning I wasn’t expecting much. The swell websites all talked 1’s and 2’s…period was down and last night’s check showed little promise. Well, something arrived, mostly closing out but definitely 3 foot sets. The odd left opened up to the beach in the southern corner of Bondi. The odd right in the middle – better on a higher tide (11:50am). Nice golden light, great time of year huh.

So it’s Easter tomorrow, the Aquabumps Gallery is shut for a few days, and you’re hittin’ the road in search of uncrowded perfect waves. Well pack a fat/big board, ‘cause me thinks it’s going be small throughout the break. Gravitate to the south facing swell magnets and you’ll have a bit of fun. Good weather tomorrow, possible showers for the rest.

Bondi Farmers Market

We all know how hard it is to get fresh produce around here…well, from April 30 the Bondi Farmers Market will operate every Saturday at the Bondi Beach Public School. So you can now buy direct from the growers…www.bondimarkets.com.au/farmers

    Love the tilt shift shots Uge. Do you use a TS lens or add it in post?

  • seeyasoon said |

    That guy in the bottom shot is grumpy old tool.

  • Edo said |

    Uge, Nice :) the golden sun is soooo beautiful…. Greetings from Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

  • mick said |

    Totally agree seeyasoon , sea gull making a lot of noise, pretty sad. Uge don’t be so down on small surf its better than closed out town.

  • Tim said |

    After all this time you still keep giving me ‘new favourites!’. Cracking one of the surfer.

  • Tim said |

    ….as in the lone surfer!

  • brian said |

    yes mr bottom turn seen him out a lot , he’s a wanker. one of those guys who thinks he has more right to waves than others total kook

  • ace said |

    (3 foot set lefts in the corner Image No. 23636) yes that miserable old fart, cant stand him. knows how to ruin a nice morning surf for anyone he hasn’t known for twenty years. Cant accept he surfs a populated spot and cant be tolerant of others. Depressing old man.

  • jono said |

    3 foot set lefts in the corner has done wrong a few times, no etiquette.

  • Karen said |

    Golden rights, great name, great colours. Luv yr work. Kaz Alex Hds.

  • kev said |

    i agree with the rest about that old grumpy fella in last bottom pic, he’s just a wankerstain, I didn’t smash him before just of his old age, felt sorry for him.

  • ace said |

    Its just not cool to be aggressive and have a go at people over nothing what ever age you are Kev. People SHOULD say. People are bound to rub each other up the wrong way on occasion in such a busy spot . but that’s different from continual anti-social behavior.

  • ace said |

    No Kev you should speak up why should people get act anyway they want. Eg badly towards other surfers.

  • Jez said |

    I keep getting prompted to enter my email address and sign up for the newsletter. It happens every time. It’s getting annoying. (Firefox 4)

    • Uge said |

      Hi Jez, odd, I’ve tested it thoroughly on Firefox4 (as that is what I use). It is only meant to appear once, the 1st time you ever look at Aquabumps. Unless you’ve customised your options, and blocking web cookies in your preferences. can you confirm?

    if the goal of most of the readers was to make surfers look like a bunch of illiterate fools then this goal was reach by the 2nd comment ……. go back to school

  • Uge said |

    @ Ben – yep, I use tilt shift lenses. A few of them.

    @ Michael – I am confused what everyone is talking about in these comments. I don’t know the long boarder who seems to be not so popular out there – got it…

    Let’s move on please to more constructive comments I think.

    Thanks for tuning in, uge

  • steve_melb said |

    ….I just wanna know how you took this shot?? – Image No. 23638
    or is that a trade secret ;-)

  • Uge said |

    Steve, it’s not that complex, lean over the rail, as in the rail on the walk way above and shoot.

  • steve_melb said |

    im just trippin uge… the bloke in the shot looks like a lego man standing on some small steps.
    Either that, or the steps are REALLY large slabs of concrete with some BIG cracks? …….
    or am I just a little too facetious?
