Shower time

It’s raining in Bondi, and we’d better get used to it – with another wet warm season heading our way. Not the most inspiring day in Bondi, with tiny surf, no light and intermittent showers.

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 […]
