A 'Fanningesque' whip from Caleb Reid

Onshore darkness

The onshores have turned on, making a mess of Bondi this morning. The odd 2 footer was on offer down there with very few out. Pretty wet and grey day. Some say this is Bondi at its best and the only time you’ll get a wave without 5 others on it.

Caleb Reid, probably one of the most talented shredders in the eastern suburbs paddled out after 8 weeks on the injury bench. The 21 year old is lightning fast, originally from Bronte and now moved to Bondi…you’ll be seeing a lot more of him…

Wintery day, 22, the coldest day of the week, but the heat will return Wednesday and cook on Friday to 34 degrees. Surf looks disappointing until next Monday.

  1. Ah twas bland as today Uge,
    went down myself..
    In that last photo, is that noise in the sky area because of the ISO or an after effect you put on.
    if the answer to that is confidential I totally understand!

    have a good one,

  2. Hey Elliot,

    Was about 800 iso…so not that high…
    It’s a new technique I am trying to perfect in Photoshop.
    I kinda like the old school grain.

    I can get a similar effect in camera at 3200 ISO though.
