Sunny Goldie
I spent the weekend chasing the sun up to The Gold Coast. Wow, it feels like summer up there, with temperatures reaching 24-25 in the day and everyone parading around in bathers. There wasn’t much swell on Saturday, so it was a blue lagoon. Sunday, a fresh south swell started to wrap into the points […]
ISO Headlines
Keeping busy? Working? Bingeing on Netflix? Learning a new skill? A new language? You’re doing good, real good, hang in there. I try not to watch the news too much whilst in Iso. Too many headlines recently seem to be about Bondi. The Bondi Cluster, Bondi Beach Primary burning down, A Bondi guy tried to […]
Tamborine
Surf Snapper in the morning, have a rinse off under a waterfall in the Goldie Hinterland afterwards. I bet you didn’t know that just up the hill from The Gold Coast there are mountains full of rainforest delights. I didn’t… It’s so lush up here, around Tamborine. Much cooler weather than the coast. The forest […]
Paradise
They’ve had an excellent run of swell up here on the Gold Coast. That enormous mongrel swell didn’t get as big as we all thought, but the sheltered points have been providing joy to waveriders all over this north coast. Everybody surfs here. Even when the sun is far from rising, the points are loaded […]
24 Carat Gold Coast
I’m on the Goldie! The first local I chatted with said “Don’t go outside, it’s freezing” (he was wearing a singlet and thongs). It confused me. I checked my phone – 23 degrees and perfectly sunny outside. I thought he must have meant the water, which is also 23 degrees…ah, these Queenslanders have it good […]
Goldie Four-ex
I’m in the land of the Castlemaine four-ex, the sunny Gold Coast of Queensland. Yes, I caught a plane! Borders open! It’s a glorious autumn’s day up here, barely a wave on offer. D-bah is about the only place that’s surfable and all the points are like a lake. My boys have been dreaming of […]
Burleigh
The waves are so much better up here. It’s no wonder it’s a world champion breeding grounds. Finally the swell kicked up and most places had waves. Burleigh had some great 3 footers, barrels, speedy sections….super long rides…if there wasn’t 50 pros warming up for the 4 star WQS Breaka Pro I’d be out there […]
D’Bah
Sorry about the late update today…I’m up at Surfer’s Paradise (QLD) without any surf driving around in circles (driving myself mad), especially when I’ve been getting sms’s from crew in Sydney telling me it’s smokin’! That’ll be right… Bondi would be around 4 foot today and bigger tomorrow…oh, and it looks wet down there….not up […]
