I spent the morning seeking sanctuary from the rain under bus stops, Icebergs overhangs and giant Norfolk Pines. It was not the most photogenic morning down at Bondi! I believe there’s a direct correlation between my cameras being out and rain squalls – the rain dance! Need rain? I’ll pop over with my cameras, I’m sure a squall will follow.

The waves are actually pretty decent – 3-5ft, South Bondi with a virtually empty lineup. Friday’s usually busy – not today.

KIA x Aquabumps
With all the bad weather and lack of photographic gold you’ve come to be accustomed to on salubrious Aquabumps.com – I’d like to announce our latest exciting partnership with Kia Australia. I’ve recently made the jump to electric, and it feels so good — especially after putting solar on our home. Now I’m charging the car straight from the sun. The new beastie Kia EV9 is an absolute dream to drive — so smooth, crazy comfy on those long North Coast road trip missions, and with a 500km range, it’s the perfect road trip weapon. Plus, I can load it up with 8–12 surfboards internally… aka the ultimate surf wagon. More road trips to come.
