Morning candy
It may be dark and occasionally rainy, but there was a left-hander worthy of a paddle at sunrise. Emphasis on the ‘was’ part. My 10:35 am surf check reveals the show is all over, for now. The SE swell from yesterday has dissipated. Do some work. KS in Sydney I can remember shooting Kelly Slater surf a Maroubra QS […]
OK?
Today is RUOK day. Are you ok? It’s a day dedicated to reminding people to ask family, friends and colleagues the question, “R U OK?”, in a meaningful way, because connecting regularly and meaningfully is one thing everyone can do to make a difference to anyone who might be struggling. The surf isn’t OK today. […]
Cooler
It’s much cooler, greyer and onshore this morning. That’s cool. It was a hot one yesterday. There are still fun waves on offer, head high, bumpy and random – but you will find some treasure. Well done Julian Wilson and Lakey Peterson who won at Goldie in some pretty spectacular conditions yesterday. I bet your […]

I’m back in Bondi today after my brief fling with W.A. Damn the weather is mighty fine back here. It may be a little chilly in the wind and shade, but the water is amazing. We’re lucky to be swimming at this time of year. The waves are not so fortunate. It’s tiny and slapping […]
The Life Of Pablo
You’re probably reading this email whilst queuing up for Kanye West’s The Life Of Pablo pop-up shop opening in Bondi Pacifico…no? Oh. Hundreds of others are. It’s a global thing. 21 pop up stories launching all at once. What else do you need to know… : The Colour Run is on this Sunday at Centennial […]

Things you need to know today: a) Gabs Medina just took out the Fiji Pro over Wilko in 10 foot surf. Wilko is having an awesome year. b) Bondi has waves, big ones, big ones that close out all the time (3-4 foot) c) We had quite a decent sunrise today. Not epic. 6/10 is […]
Von Doom
The doom and gloom has arrived into Bondi this morning. The skies dark and the winds onshore…waves, well, they’re a tiny knee to waist high. Can you surf it? Yep, just lower your expectations a little and ride something fat. Good news – it will clear and be sunny this afternoon. The water is warm […]
Lather
Well ‘ava a look at that…the morning cloud cover has burnt off and revealed a cracker beach day. It’s really, really nice down there. Barely a ripple to surf but the water temp is spot on. Bondi is full of tourists and the beach will be rammed, again, today. Party time! Get ya cosi on, […]
Get Wet
After a few weeks of stormy mornings it’s great to see sun and clean waves. Been a while. Bondi had a little peak with some decent rights. It’s from the ESE swell so plenty of options today. Anything with East swell will feed into the many bays of Sydney. It’s offshore…hit it. The weather will […]
Viva Bondi
It’s been fun around Bondi with loads of people visiting the area. I’m learning a new language every day. We’re not talking record breaking crowds down at Bondi…take last Saturday for example there was probably 20,000 on our 900 metres of sand. I reckon the biggest crowd would be roughly 50,000 which means you can’t […]
