Friday Swims
It is heating up and only getting hotter. You’ve all heard tomorrow is going to be a steamy 39. These warm mornings are conducive to ocean interaction – and Bondi is the capital of that! Swimming, surfing or lazing on the beach – it was all happening down at Bondi from first light. It’s only […]
Phone Photos
I’m a gadget geek. Hard core. Must be the part Asian blood running through my veins. Something new – gotta have it. I’ve also been a die-hard iPhone user since inception…well, that was until one of my readers, Joe, swung past the gallery and dropped off a new phone for me to try. He said […]
Cover
There will be no mention of the weather today – as that’s all I’ve heard all morning. Let’s just say it’s not ideal for surfing or photography. Waves are 2-3 foot with barely anyone out. Ok, it’s extremely messy as well – but she’ll settle down and you’ll find a few later. Entries have closed […]
Boost
What a big weekend for Bondi…the Boost Air Sho hit our beach filling it with flamboyant aerial masters. Thousands came down to watch. Josh Kerr, a total stand out, won the comp and is now $25k richer. All the crew surfed amazing in the, erm, embarrassing small Bondi conditions. Saturday afternoon I was getting my […]
onslaw
Yesterday’s good waves and sunshine are now a distant memory as a southerly rain storm has rolled into town. 2 guys paddled out at Bondi – Will Ranken and Phil Geurs but they returned to the beach after 1 wave – that says it all, those regulars will surf anything (Man grommets). Do something else […]
intermittent
If you rolled down the hill at the wrong time today you’d swear it’s 1 foot or near flat. If you sat out there long enough a set will roll through every 15-20 minutes worth riding. Yep, that south swell is still hanging in there by a thread – but you’d have to be very […]
high pressure
As a big fat high pressure system hovers above NSW, we are blessed with another stunning summers day. Very little wind about and the mercury will hit a steamy 27 degrees. Along with these still conditions come small waves – really small waves. Bondi was struggling to pump out a 1-2 footer this morning – […]
Low Blow
When is this corrupting LOW going to run out of BLOW? I mean really…it’s been days of onshore and rain. How about a little break eh? Today’s forecast was for easing winds…well, it’s currently howling onshore and surfing Bondi would be a bit like white water rafting. I didn’t bother shooting in the downpours so […]
Stealth
Oh my, what a day. Escape the financial mess…hit the beach. Who needs shares anyway. At sunrise there was only one guy out at Bondi, local shaper and all-round nice guy Andrew Harris (AH Surfboards). Everyone had slept in as a stealth little bump broke in the corner defying the swell charts. AH picked off […]
