Orpheus Island
Normally I chase reefs with 200-metre piping right-handers and no crowds…however, this reef is just as spectacular without a single wave breaking – The Great Barrier Reef (the largest reef system in the world!). Even Astronauts can see The Great Barrier Reef from space as it’s 2300 kilometres long, containing 2900 reefs and around 900 […]
Newcastle
I’ve driven past Newcastle a hundred times but rarely stopped. To be honest, I didn’t know much about the joint…but after spending a weekend there I have a new found respect for this vibrant coastal city. ‘Newy’ is 160 clicks north of Sydney and has an incredible set of beaches, all with promising surfing setups.

Small wolf pack trying to pick off the lefts but didn’t really see anyone get a decent ride that wasn’t wonky and fat. The early […]
Chop Hop
When the regulars are still in the cot or fiddling with their car radios in the parking lot you know the surf is bad. Even though there is swell from the east, a nemesis onshore breeze is making mince of anything decent rolling in. Pass. Wind’s gonna blow NE 15-20 knots later today – will […]
