AK on a new sled

Made in China

Looks like I didn’t missing many good waves Monday or Tuesday this week (yes, I am still in China in that same room looking at the wall for the 3rd day). But hang on…just got Kane Skennar’s images from Bondi this morning… it looks like fun 2-3 footers as the wind has finally backed off. Sydney weather looks fine and 21 too! It’s a nice and steamy 34 in Shenzen.

The Sydney swell radar is showing no waves for quite a few days – rapid decline from here. Boo. I’d score a few while you can.

To clarify I’ve been in China on a press check for the reprint of the Aquabumps Book ‘A Day in Bondi’ which has been sold out for a while now. Yeah the book that won an APPA! I tried to print it in Australia, but being such a large format book, it’s seriously not feasible and 10,000 Chinese can get the job done before 2020 (Plenty of hand finishing). This is not a new book – just a reprint of the old.

Enough ramble.

PS – Kane (who shot all the pics today) is normally a fashion shooter with a lot of surf clients like Roxy, Insight, Tsubi…See his work

Which peak, less crowded middles, or crowded south?

  1. Nice shots, great work Kane.

    Not that I am a sycophant or anything, but re shot #2 (awesone) I think Robin is a goofyfooter.

  2. hey uge
    Are those 10,000 chinese getting paid a living wage,,are they protected by stringent occupational health and safety regs or does the ends justify the means..Im sure you would have done your homework.

  3. Hey Mate,

    Saw that you guys had got in to video a bit. Here is one I made this morning. 3 hours from shoot to upload. Let me know what you think.
