Yo haoles. I’ve learnt a new word today, spelunking. In the states they use it to describe ‘cave hunting’. You wake up here in Hawaii, walk out onto your deck and someone, somewhere is deeply grinding in the back of a barrel (or cave), grinning away and occasionally flashin’ the shaka. I saw a 10 […]

I’m in Hawaii (HI), aloha. Oh and it’s 100% pumping. Got to the north shore and saw 10 guys get shacked off their nooonah in my first 15 minutes on the balcony. Wow. The waves are soo amazing here – a surf photographers dream. The swell charts for the next week look amazing. You’ll see […]

Not much going down at the beaches this morning. I looked around in hope of a stealth bump but only found flakey wind chop. Bondi was 1-2 and not much use to you, unless, of course you’re new to the sport and got ya self a mini mal for chrissy, deck grip and all. I […]

The question I get asked all the time is what gear I use. So I hope this page answers all your questions. We are living in an amazing time and have access to affordable and sophisticated camera gear. Basically, we’re spoilt for choice at the moment. I am lucky enough to use many cameras these […]

Monday morning. A time to be serious after the weekend’s nonsense. Scanned all the swell charts and have come to the assumption that this week is going to be predominantly a surfless one. A little wind bump may pop up here and there, but there’s not much until a decent swell arrives on Sunday from […]

Meet Beau Walker. This man is bustin’ at the seams with explosive energy – he’s on 12 when the dial only goes to 10. Picture a kid high as a kite on a double espresso followed by a litre of Red Bull and you’ll be on par with Beau’s hyperactiveness. He’s 25, grew up in […]

Sitting on the shoreline with a big lens wasn’t gonna happen today. With perfect 24 degree water I had to get in the drink for a swim around with the camera. The waves weren’t perfect (1-2 footers) and the rip in the middle was on turbo – nonetheless an amazing morning to get wet. Do […]

Well, it’s no Kirra out the front that’s for sure…. not even Kirra’s inferior brother. I’ve been drooling over all that footage from Queensland’s gem’s on Sunday, then glancing back out the window looking at Bondi’s 2 foot onshore dribbles thinking – where did I go wrong? Surfing shouldn’t be high on your agenda for […]

Yesterday morning was the best of it! The cooling south change arrived mid-afternoon on Monday bringing wind, rain and disrupting our surf. Right now Bondi is a super junkie 3 foot and onshore. The burning sun has been replaced with clouds and rain. Nothing really special happening until the weekend where we should see some […]

Not a lot going wrong today. Sun, big waves and warm water. The most talked about, most anticipated cyclone swell has arrived from the north and is bringing the beef to your local break. Only trouble this morning is the hell fat, early morning high tide. Manly was 6-8 foot at 7am, but full as […]

The howling northerlies were in early today. We currently have swell –  just no quality. Exposed beaches were 2-3 foot, junkie and chaotic…dudes going left on rights, rights on lefts, 4 per wave, SUPs going head on…eeck, outta there. I’d say have a lay day and wait for the weekend’s goodness…We have so much swell […]

Yesterday afternoon the good times rolled as the swell came up in the wind. It’s still around this morning but you’ll have to visit East exposed joints to reap the benefits. Bondi, which is best suited to the howling NE wind wasn’t toooo bad either… Huge pack on T-Bay today, but around the corner was […]

Hi there. Another grey morning, but at least it wasn’t raining like the rest of the country. They ran round 4 of the Billabong Pro Junior at Northy so I headed over for another session. Have to admit, the waves are so much better over that neck of the woods on east or north swells. […]

The Billabong World Pro Juniors is on today (Men’s round 3 and Women’s finals). So I’d thought I’d head up to North Narrabeen to see what’s happening. It’s onshore over there like our side of the bridge, damn easterly – the worst wind, which has been hanging around Sydney all week. Northy had a small […]

Hey – happy new year kids, yep, we’re back on for another year. May 2011 bring you plenty of swell, buckets of green and the odd shady cave. To start the year we have an east wind swell with east wind. Not the best combo. Conditions are a little junkie but surfable (2-3 foot at […]
