Ochre 6th February 2012
After spending a month in Hawaii it was nice to come back and see summer in full swing down at Bondi. What’s all the complaining about? Weather looks fine to me. Na, just kiddin’. I know I know, it’s been raining plenty and this is the only rare moment of sunshine in weeks. Got it. Gosh, looked at the forecast and plenty of rain to come as well.
This morning was quite sumpin’ with a 6am thick fog smothering the beach. Could barely see the surfers. Rare fogs like these are great to shoot in…especially as the sun cracks above the horizon.
Surf looks good too! 3-4 footers…East swell and plenty of it. Somewhere would be really good right now. I’d go north if I didn’t have 4,000 unread in my inbox.

Roley said |
Which side of the bed did Phil get out of this morning? Cheer up man.
Andrzej Kowalski said |
Ugene, great shots as per usual, great to see Jonno in the line-up. Now that he is a dad, it’s rare, he is like the elusive Bengal Tiger. You even had to find him, undercover in the mist.
Now, one of mates was watching the Comedy Channel on Telly last night. He said two nudes girls went into the Aquabumps gallery, to prank the shop guy. He said it was very very awkward. Was that you?

Australia stop whining about the weather, +35 is too hot + 20 is too cold , too much rain or not enough rain , man up and take it as it is. The aussie weather is beautiful in any colour .
