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 […]
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.

Goldie Four-ex

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 […]
