I N C O M I N G
With the forecast looking healthy for some ENE swell today and a rumour of some decent banks down at the Bra I rolled down there to take a look. It was OOOkkkk(ish)…waist to chest high, clean and out of the SW wind…but not really worth chasing. 3 out of 10. This grey old day will […]
1 4 Y E A R S
This week marks 14 years of Aquabumps. Not gunna make a big deal of it (i.e. no party)…just kinda cool that messin’ around with an email and photos between mates can grow to such proportions. Over the years I’ve witnessed so many amazing changes…so fast. I feel excited to be a photographer right now. Back […]
Mondayitis
I prefer good waves mid week than on the weekend. The fruits of working across the road from Bondi and surfing when you’re all at work. Well, you all know Saturday was pumping (everywhere) and Sunday had decent waves at North East exposed beaches, well today is dropped right back and Bondi was a semi-surfable […]
Shorey Glory
It’s small. Mainly just a shorey slappin’ on the beach. So small even Jono (AKA the mad professor) was soft sand jogging and not surfing. Now that’s small – that man can sniff a 1ft set out of Lake Bondi any day. Mighty fine morning though, after the early clouds dissipated we’re left with clear […]
Bondi Gidgets
There are more girls surfing Bondi these days…more than ever…great to see. I reckon there was about a dozen Gidgets dominating the peak this morning. The world’s smallest surfable waves are on offer this morning. Super infrequent, but who cares when the weather is this good. You should do something in the water today – […]
Cumulus Maximus
Hola! Quite an impressive morning – hope you got down there. It all began with a decent sunrise for the insomniacs….and then the clouds morphed into buckled patterns (good lens fodder)… then small 2 footers chugged into the corner…oh, and the water temps bumped up a tad making the boardie session an option. Go outside […]
Mini
The waves weren’t the highlight of the morning. Its small. 1 foot small. Good for the newbies who dominated the peak at South Bondi. The sunrise was spectacular though. Yep another one. Amazing time of year, and amazing winter we’re having. Next week, again, looks to be mostly sunny. More importantly it’s going to be […]
high pressure
As a big fat high pressure system hovers above NSW, we are blessed with another stunning summers day. Very little wind about and the mercury will hit a steamy 27 degrees. Along with these still conditions come small waves – really small waves. Bondi was struggling to pump out a 1-2 footer this morning – […]
Pinkie
The mornings are the best part of the day – no doubt’n that. No phones, no emails, no hassles – well sometimes a drunken fool left over from Bondi hotel will ask for a light – but that’s about it (oh and there’s always Wal). I’ve seen the same people for the past 10 years […]
Depleted
After the weekend’s decent supply of south swell, its finally ran out of puff. Bondi was 1-2 foot this morning, clean, but exceptionally weak. Very low crowd numbers in the water early – gotta love Mondays. Just unbelievable about the 3rd shark attack on 15 year old Andrew Lindop up at Avalon yesterday. He’s now […]
