Bondi Retrospective

In the spirit of celebrating our 25th Aquabumps birthday, we explore some of the colourful events that have occurred on our little strip of sand over the years.

It’s never dull around here – so much happens on this beach.

I’ve shot several Australia Day Thong Challenges for Havainas, a raft of crazy ladies drifting into the bay for Lynx, coated Icebergs in an enormous fine art print visible from space, had all the pros for the Boost Air show (including Kelly), and even shot the Guinness Book of Records most extensive swimsuit shoot for Cleo. I attempted to shoot some fashion for Vogue with Steph, Laura and Ellie-Jean whilst Netflix dug an enormous alien portal to another world in the middle of Bondi Beach. Strongbow talked me into a night shoot with neon surfers whilst our actor Willie Smith caused quite the stir at our gallery one Saturday morning.

Our latest book, launched last week, is now on sale. If you’d like to browse 304 pages of our silver jubilee, click here.

It’s raining again in Sydney – boo! It feels like we’re living in Seattle! Waves are bigger today, 2-3 foot.
