Yep, still raining. The skies have forgotten how to do anything else. This week’s forecast? It’s more of the same – wet, grey, and moody. But with these unstable systems comes an upside: swell. And plenty of it. The ocean’s been generous, and we’ve had a decent run of waves. Stormy? Sure. But there’s gold hidden in those rain squalls, and the banks are hanging in there.
In the Surfaid Cup, our Aquabumps team raised a whopping $17,000, the highest of all teams! Collectively, we raked in over $70k to support SurfAid’s incredible work in remote communities. That’s impact. Huge thanks to the 163 generous souls who chipped in over $50 and entered our art giveaway.
Drumroll… the winner of the $1500 gallery artwork is (see draw)… Maritsa Eftimiou! Congrats, Maritsa – we’ll be in touch soon with your new piece. In the surfing front of the Bondi Cup, we held our own and landed a respectable 4th place this year. Some very good surfing went down in 3-4 foot on Friday.
Plenty of waves out there now if you’re brave enough to face the rain squalls. It was a full house at south around 7am.
See ya tomorrow,
