Not much doing down the beach this morning. No sunrise as clouds dominated the horizon and the weak 1-2 footers weren’t really my cup of tea. The charts are calling a dramatic improvement as the day progresses. East swell, 11 secs later today – that should be good. So by the time you read this and come up with some complicated excuse to leave work, it would have come up. However the flanking NE winds at 15 knots will blow and may disturb surface quality.
Glenn Orgias, the shark Attack victim from Bondi was out there this morning. I have to say…he was surfing amazingly well for only have 1 arm and involved in a attack with a White pointer. Shortboard now too. Good work Glenn.
The Australian Red Cross Blood wagon is currently at Bondi beach. I gave my 500 mls yesterday and encourage you to do the same. If you get the chair at the door you can watch the surf for 10 mins whilst you pump out. Book in first
Indo waves have been pumping this week. Bali has been off the hook. Padang Padang had 40 out yesterday all trying to get that celebrated covershot. Chaos.
Canon have just launch their new pro-sumer camera body. The EOS 7D. This 18 megapixel beast features HiDef video capabilities like its 5d brother, but there’s something new – Hybrid Image Stabilizer technology. So what’s that? I am not 100% sure as I don’t have one yet, but I gather it corrects camera shake in a big way…so you can shoot slow shutters – sharp.

Hi Uge, good on you for giving blood, mate.
Great time to be giving blood right now because the blood bank always gets low after winter (colds and flu rule out a higher proportion of regular donors).
Apparently giving blood improves your fitness and health because your body has to replenish itself and create more blood cells. So, you’ll paddle faster now!
Feel pretty good today after donating blood. Maybe its all the sugar I ate afterwards!
Good on ya for getting back out there Glenn. Rippin’ it up out there today. Was thorooghly impressed with your improvement. ::uge
Hey Uge
Just testing your new iPhone App. Good work mate – the interface is brilliant.
Cheers,
Shaun.
