Waxers
Hola. Since we last spoke there’s been a few lil’ surprises down the beach. Yesterday afternoon the swell kicked and 4 footers were on offer at Bondi. So good, especially without the crowd. This morning was only forecasted for small 1-2 footers but it’s breaking head high. The sun has come back and it’s another […]
Burgers
A very wintery morning. The beach was pretty much empty. A bit of precipitation overnight…2-3 foot fat waves…grey skies…definitely a great day to do some work. Even though the forecast has been downgraded for the weekend, it’s still going to be quite solid (4-6 foot on Saturday) The showers will clear tomorrow and Thursday looks […]
Plume
The beastie swell has dropped a couple of gears and Bondi is now surfable at 3 foot. It’s wasn’t very good though (I could be just saying that in light of yesterday’s glory). In fact I didn’t see many decent waves being ridden this morning despite perfect offshores and solid south east swell. Definitely a […]
Hamptons
The Hamptons is what Bryon Bay is to Sydney. It’s the beach where you go and chill. It’s where you can surf and get space…Manhattan is awesome but I reckon you’d need a break from the pace and concrete after a while. After talking to Hampton locals they have great stories and photos of double […]
Lost in London
It’s not often I stray from the coast but today I am in the incredible metropolis of London. It’s summer here and the sun is out – what a great time to visit. I haven’t been back here in years…such a different pace to the Mentawai Islands I was in 10 days ago! The place […]
Goldie
Sorry about the late update…think my clock is still in the Indonesian Islands. These mornings are damn dark. At 7am the light is struggling to get over Ben Buckler. For your records, this Saturday is the shortest day of the year. I love the light at this time of year – so rich, so gold, […]
New Angles
Here at Aquabumps we pride ourselves on new angles… Well…here’s 11 angles you haven’t seen before. No drone, no heli, no housing…just my latest invention from NASA called the big stick. Total investment – 20 bucks. Tiny waves…yet perfect for the mal at Bondi… The weather continues to be incredible. So good. ::uge
Cape Fear
Howdy. Plenty of SE swell around Sydney this morning. Good week huh? Went for a drive this morning to The Cape…was ok, bit small and the high tide ruined all the fun but there was the odd nugget. The Bird came along as well to shed a new angle on the most feared wave. Water […]
Bump
There is a little bump in the corner at Bondi this morning. It looks fun, crowded and not over shoulder high. After perusing the swell charts there is plenty of swell coming…Sunday should be 4 foot later in the day. How good is that? 3 things you need to know today: The Drugaware Margaret River […]
Thunder
Did you know that Maroubra is a local aboriginal word for “Place of Thunder”? Presume they’re talking about the crashing waves found there. When the swell has a bit of east or north in it – Maroubra using has some fun waves. Today we have a SE swell which is lighting up many beaches along […]
Late Light
I thought the sun was never gonna rise today. It took so long to get up over the horizon. At 7am I was sitting around waiting for light to strike…nuttin! When it did come up it sure was real pretty. Pity the smotherly hit early and the swell has dropped back to knee cappers. Forget […]
Pipe Pro
Did you watch Kelly Slater nail it in the Volcom Pipe Pro yesterday? It was really quite something. The waves were good (finally), around triple head high and very hollow from a new swell. It was Slaters 66th tour win. Not bad for a guy that turns 42 next week. Well he DOES live right […]
Seeya 2013
In keeping with Aquabumps tradition, the last update of the year shows my favourite shots from 2013. I barely traveled this year so it’s all about Bondi. Next year we are not having babies so I will be back on the plane visiting exotic waves and locations. Special thanks to you all for tuning in. […]
