Leftism
Today’s all about the lefts. Our new sand bank set up seems to suit the lefts…nice little wedge close to shore. Awesome golden morning light. Today’s photos are all shot with just two setups (I get asked a lot what gear I use). For fast action surfing shots – Canon EOS 1dX Mark II with […]
Drifting Low
It is Friday, so watch my latest video piece, this time a 2 minute summary of my recent hangs in Hawaii. WATCH NOW A drifting low-pressure system down south is creating some strong westerly winds in Sydney today. Mid arvo it’s going to really blow. West winds are typically cold – which is why the […]
Clear Skies
Clear skies – happy dayz. What a terrific run on exquisite weather. Waves – tiny peelers, knee high ones. Logs only. Winds – calmed down overnight. For all you soft sand addicts – this years Blooms Bondi Barefoot soft sand race is happening right here in the hood at Bondi Beach on the 24th September. […]
Changing
Things are changing. The morning fog was a good sign for change where cool air meets hot air. It’s a humid 31 today and then a cool 21 tomorrow. Dark clouds are congregating and I can here the tingling of rain on my gallery tin roof. We’re in for some indoor time – punch the work […]

Hey folks. Hope you had a good weekend. Kinda interesting morning…the inbound swell has just arrived and showing promise. Amazing what difference a few hours can make…it turned on for a bit there this morning. It went a little bit like this… 6 a.m. Fun 1-2 foot waves. 8 a.m. Picked up to 3-4 foot […]

The waves have gone back to small and the crowds were up enjoying the incredible weather. Nice morning wasn’t it? Today it’s going to hit 30 degrees and there ain’t a cloud in the sky – that’s all you really need to know and should be packing up your desk and hitting the beach right […]

It’s been good times around Sydney lately. This solid south swell has come up a trumps. Yesterday was pumping – 10 out of 10. Even the odd barrel out at Bondi as it dredged on a shallow bank. Today started off VERY stormy, with thick rain set in and 4 guys out at South Bondi. […]

Fridays are always fun, even with no waves, because of the One Wave Crew Antics. Today’s performance, a surfing swan, Hula Hula Supa, good looking traffic controllers and some other unexplainable fluoro frivolity. Never a dull moment down at Bondi. The surf is 1 foot from the ESE and a very chilly west offshore. The […]
Shoreline Antics
Nice day huh? Sorry about the late one… Pity the waves are small (Waist to sometimes chest high). It will get bigger this weekend – I’m sure. Pray, burn a board in sacrifice, something like that. Someone asked me the other day what’s been my scariest moment doing Aquabumps. I thought back to the day […]

It takes a very flat day to score an empty line up down at Bondi. I reckon 350 out of 365 days a year we have a hungry pack scouring for waves, no matter how big it is. I can confirm it’s unsurfable, grey and windless down the beach right now. A 7am rain squall […]

There’s the pumping waves of Saturday morning and then there’s today. Saturday morning proved to be one of the best surf days this year so far. Strong, solid East swell with gentle offshores. Such a good combination. Then Sunday was shambles…windy. 30 knots ripped it apart. Today we have a confused swell, some East swell […]

With the forecast looking healthy for some ENE swell today and a rumour of some decent banks down at the Bra I rolled down there to take a look. It was OOOkkkk(ish)…waist to chest high, clean and out of the SW wind…but not really worth chasing. 3 out of 10. This grey old day will […]

After a colourful start we’ve settled into a grey old rainy Sydney day. There are waves in the head high+ vicinity but there is nothing for them to break on. Sometimes I wish we had a small reef in the middle of the bay that peeled left and right…the sand banks are pretty straight today […]
