SurfAid Cup
Today’s update comes from the glorious sand dunes of Curl Curl Beach…where the SurfAid Cup is going down. The Aquabumps Team is progressing to the semis as I write this…but the competition is stiff. Special thanks to all that supported our team by donating money. We raised $12,000 for charity which is incredible! There are […]
Surfaid Cup
Today’s Aquabumps comes from the back seat of my car…in Manly. It is the SURFAID CUP today. Ex world champs, wanna be world champs, big time corporate cowboys and 2-3 footers all come together for a tag team surf comp – all in the name of charity. Come down and watch team Aquabumps win the […]
Bondi Magic
Can you believe it’s going to be 34 degrees today? Wow. Typical of Sydney, as soon as it gets hot a storm will follow. Wind coming too. That’ll cool it right down from 34 to 21 tomorrow. Wow. The surf was dribbling in this morning. Knee cappers and worthy of a log. Tomorrow is totally […]
Thunderstruck
We finished up late at the right to head south to a wave magnet left called Thunders. No one around…at all. Just how we like it! The weather is perfect and the swell continues to produce. I hear another swell is due tomorrow so all the boats are heading to their favourite part of the […]
Telescopes
We’ve been pretty lucky up here so far. Couldn’t ask for better weather and waves (sorry, I heard it’s pretty ugly back home). The surf has been consistently above head high every day, sometimes bigger and the winds are favourable meaning plenty of options. Today we’re anchored near Tuapajet, the capital of the Mentawai Islands […]
Surftag
Afternoon. Late one I know. Today’s update comes from the boot of my car as we’re at the SurfAid SurfTag event surfing for charity. (at Manly) Thank you for everyone that donated to our team – we raised nearly $10k for SurfAid. The waves are small, 2ish, maybe 3 footish. Better with the incoming tide. […]

I like the mornings. Especially this morning when it’s warm in and out of the water. The swell has evaporated overnight but I still found a tiny bump in the middle…plenty out, plenty to dodge. Meet Ethan Davis (1st pic of today’s update). He’s 12 years old and only been surfing for 8 months. A […]
Curvy
Boom! Wow, how’s the thunderstorms last night? Thought Moses was waving that staff around at Mark’s Park. Boom! Another cold winters morning, the kind that hurts when putting on the rubber. The surf conditions were quite poor this morning – so I’m not really sure why I went out for a swim with my camera. […]
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 […]
Padang
Feral onshore slush out there this morning. You really should think about doing something other than surfing today – ‘cause it’s about as bad as it gets. Let’s check out some photos from our recent trip to the Mentawais (where the earthquake off Sumatra hit). Tomorrow the swell will come up, unfortunately flanked by an […]
