Blake Thornton @ Bondi 7:30am - ripping Blake Thornton @ Bondi 7:30am - ripping No. 32649 Buy

1dx 18th July 2012

Hey there. Bondi loves these days. A wiff of dead south swell and we have a little peak on a couple of sand banks. It’s small and long period swell, translating to infrequent waves, but when they roll in, you may get one around shoulder high. Could take 15 – 20 minutes though, but it’s a nice day to be outside…so go have a look.

I love the Olympics. Not only do you get to see the Jamaican Badminton team fight it out but camera manufacturers release new models. Today’s shots are from the brand spakin’ new Canon EOS1dX. For the geeks… you can get around 14 frames per second out of that puppy. Dang!

Rain coming tomorrow…

Swell coming Friday but onshore this weekend.

Adios :: Ugios
