Where the hell is summer?

It’s not often that rain hinders my morning shoot so much, that I have to show you something else to distract you from your busy day. But hang on, 3 days of rain in a row? It’s real wet and grey outside. Welcome to the first day of summer kids! Where the hell is it then?

Today’s pics are to remind you of what summer is really like – a collection of idyllic paradises that I’ve visited in the past 12 months. There is just so much out there to see…book a plane ticket. I just did! Life’s short and all that.

Forecast – Rain, rain and more rain until mid-next week. And I am not joking. Surfwise we’re getting some NE swell from here on, 1-2 foot mainly – nothing fancy. Go to Hawaii for surfing.

I’ve always wanted to get the tinnie out, drive out to a dead whale, which is being mauled by sharks, in the middle of the Indian ocean off Rotto, in my jeans of course, then jump on the whale’s back and pat the sharks. I mean really…what?

  3. Hey Uge,

    Always love your stuff… as a close neighbour of yours I urge you to visit New Caledonia as it is only 2.5h away from Sydney and just as beautiful as all the tropical pics you grace us with…..and more! French culture, developed island and of course great surfing out on the reef!
