Lippy

Things change fast on the North Shore of Hawaii. Woke up, cruzy little 3-4 footer out the front, 2 out – lots of tubes. Ate Special K then shot my favorite shore break for an hour. Stopped in for the world’s largest coffee at Starbucks, wired, then by the time I got back to the […]

M o n k

The surf here in Hawaii finally dropped off dramatically after 10 days of solid grunt (it is still 3 foot though). Thought I’d take this opportunity to show you something other than Pipe barrels. See here above is the Hawaiian Monk Seal – a critically endangered species. There are only 1,100 of these seals left […]

re-ignite

Sorry about the slightly late update, been watching 12 foot bombs at the Hawaiian Pipe Masters, Would you paddle out there? Last night before I closed my eyes I checked the weather and it said “Showers in the morning, clearing”. Couldn’t be any further from the truth. Clear skies, 24 degrees, blue water, chest high […]

Beach Pilgrimage

Hola. Fair chance most of you were down the beach on the weekend. Who wasn’t. You probably didn’t take a board with you (flat as), just the baby oil and the reflecto sunnies (spinin’ rims and all mate). Bondi Road was gridlock all weekend long. It was also the conclusion of Sculpture by the Sea […]

Yep, Naa

Yeah – naaa. Naa the waves aren’t so good this morning. We’ve got confused 2 footers breaking at Bondi. Looks like the swell origin has kinked more to the east, not well suited to Bondi. Yeeah, it’s a damn fine day outside. I mean seriously, can’t get much better. Hit the beach FOR SURE. Oh […]

The Emerald Coast

Just got off the plane and went for a dawdle down the beach. To put it plainly – it’s an AMAZING DAY outside. The water is a deep emerald colour, it’s offshore (and quite strong), there is a fun little mal riding 2 footer crumbling with the schoolies pack frothin – what more could you […]

Monsters

The much anticipated spread of south swell goodies has arrived overnight. It has leaped from 2-3 foot to 4-6 foot. It’s from the dead south and its quite solid. The winds are a grooming offshore – strong and freezing. Bondi was a wash through, being super exposed to the south and a beachie (unfortunately that […]

Road Trip

Good afternoon…sorry about the late transmission. Been roaming the south coast in search of a wave. The south swell is on the up and will keep pulsing into tonight where it will peak at 6-8 foot. (chunky) Currently it’s a dead south swell…Saturday, Sunday and Monday all have waves within the 3-foot mark, just a […]

hello

Sorry about the late update…time snuck away. Well finally the weather has cleared, the onshores subsided and a neat SSE swell is pumping into the bay. It’s only 2-3 foot…much smaller than previous days, but super fun. The morning sun was out, blaring, soaking everything in tones of orange. The water was exceptional – has […]

Morning Bullet Points

It’s a fine morning, small waves, sun and warmth – got it going on. The swell has dropped, been cranking all week – had to end – now 2 foot. A lot of people woke dis morning and went down the beach. Packed. It’s going to be a delightful 22 degrees today (after the fog […]

Sticky

Nice calm morning down at Bondi with next to no swell. it’s very humid and sticky, best for a swim. Tomorrow some East swell should push in, I hope so, as the Boost Air Sho kicks off with the juniors tomorrow. Bondi, facing south will neglect most of the swell energy, but hey, let’s pray […]

Quiky Pro is the go

So here we are, up at the Goldie for the Quiksilver Pro presented by Land Rover. After a week of lay days, it’s back on with all the big guns hitting the water at Snapper. It’s only 3 foot, but Snapper is such a good wave with pockets of gold in multiple sections – the […]
