Memo 23rd August 2012

Didn’t you get the memo? Today’s a beach day…100%.

As I write this I see it has hit 28 degrees. Ok, there is a possibility of a thunderstorm later, but right now, oh boy, it’s a perfect day to get your towel out and go for an invigorating swim. The water is still cold.

Surf is pretty close to flat with a random half hourly bump. The charts show a slight increase tomorrow, but it is marginal.

Which beach you going to?

PS  – and of course you will be wearing your new Aquabumps/Speedo boardies and swimmers.

    Hey uge, im a 13 year old local kid at bondi and im just starting to take photos of me and my mates on my friends camera. its a go pro. I’ve been saving up and im looking for my own camera to buy. my price range is around $300. Any recommendations of a waterproof camera?

    • Uge said |

      Sadly bud, you won’t get much for $300. I reckon start off with the disposables…I did. waterproof ones. Go pro is good too. really good. get a go pro on a stick

      Hey Ollie, Uge is right, there’s not a lot out there for that sort of money. I’m from the UK and bought a Nikon AW100 waterproof compact last year. In short, I can’t fault it. It doesn’t really compare to an SLR with a water housing but for the money it’s excellent. It was £300 which works out at about $450. Not sure if you can get them in Australia though but if you can, once you’ve grown out of disposables, save up and get yourself one!

    Uge, give the kid some old kit for chrissakes; he’s only 13.

    • Uge said |

      Would if I had any…my water kits are around $15k…

      • Hugo said |

        give me some!

    maybe you could pick him out a good stick…..

  • Andy said |

    I am sure there are cheaper options out there kiddo – it’s just they are not Uge’s sponsors/advertisers – it’s a big bad world

    • Uge said |

      That quite simply is rubbish. I am telling the kid to get a go pro…that is not one of my sponsors. and I don’t have a water housing sponsor.
