Schooling

I hope you’re all in a much better mood today seeing we’ve had swell for 3 days. Have you surfed? Today’s smaller, but still very fun. Multiple Bondi banks providing small morning runners. A board with plenty of foam would be the right choice. Facts about today: Sunny and 25 degrees The wind will blow […]

Primo

Whole lotta Bondi goodness going on this morning. Super clean morning, crisp clear air, no waves and no wind. If I could package this morning up for you…we’d sell out. It’s classic Bondi. You’re not too late to get your Mother some Aquabumps artwork for this Sunday (Mother’s Day). We have plenty of stock in […]

Frostbite

I am back in Bondi and went for a swim in our warm ocean. So much warmer in than out. 6 degrees when dashing across Bondi’s icy sand. Felt like zero. It was a very good looking morning with small 2 footers and sunshine. If you can…go outside for a bit…as there is a late […]

Bokeh

Bokeh pronounced BOH-kay is the aesthetic quality of the blur produced in the out-of-focus parts of an image produced by a lens. I’m a big fan of Bokeh and have been shooting wide open for years now in the water. Can’t do that on a fisheye. Leave that to Clarkie baby. Waves are tiny and […]

UFO

Not much happening down the beach this morning. The swell has backed right off and is now coming from the NE (neglecting South facing Bondi). The winds were up early and from the SE (18 knots). Choppy conditions on most beaches. The sun was hiding behind thick cloud occasionally throwing out a ray or two, […]

Highway

Hit the highway…it’s perfectly offshore, sunny and 4-6 foot…what are you waiting for? The above set of conditions just don’t suit Bondi (it closes out with waves this size). I was kicking myself when shooting today, knowing it was pumping on the reefs far from Bondi. Shoulda got up for the dawnie and found some […]

Over & Above

As I write this daily post the clouds have arrived and our fantastic run of beach weather has come to an end. It’s gone all stormy…rain will hit very soon. Bunker in as the storm will be in town until Thursday. To celebrate the weekend of glorious weather I went up in the sky to […]

Grovel

At 7am this morning rain took over Sydney. The beach was deserted and there was a knee high wave crumbling at South Bondi. I’ve seen it better. Had to shoot most of these images from my car. Back to work…you’re not missing anything down the beach today. For the next 3-4 days you won’t find […]

Straighty180

Greetings. This morning we have a increase in swell but not quality. Bondi is 100% closing out. We badly need some banks. It’s straight AS. The sun is out and we look to hit 18 degrees today. With showers over the incoming weekend today is a great one to get outdoors. North swells forecasted for […]

7°C

The most notable aspect of this morning was the chill. It was cold at sunrise, 7°C is what my phone said. I’d say with the wind chill it would be more like 4°C or 5°C. There are waves in town…finally after a week of very small stuff…so now it’s 3 foot and fun-as. You’d have […]

Mini Bumps

The waves are tiny and clean. Nice day though, looks like the mercury will hit 20 degrees. Until this Saturday the surf is going to be really small… Chris Bryan is a Cronulla cinematographer who operates a fancy piece of camera called The Phantom. Phantoms are those cameras that do super slow motion clips. They’re […]

Colour

Today kicked off with some pretty serious colour sprayed across the sky. It was really something. All kinds of imaging devices were clicking away @ sunrise. Did you get the shot? It’s now 11am and it’s raining. Shows over. Hope you got out there for the early. Little fun wave on offer at Bondi best […]

Metro Waves

Lucky aren’t we? I mean we live in a sorta big city and can surf nearly every day. Lately the waves have been more than just surfable. Today’s its small, waist to chest high, clean and fun. Not many places in the world you can surf twice a day and hold down a corporate job. […]
