Lie Low
How’s your Coronacation going? Super productive WFH? Quality time with the fam? Is homeschooling the highlight of the day? (Actually, a mild form of torture is more like it). Ah-huh. I know. I hear ya. Yep. I’ve got a few distractions for you: Watch the World Surfing League Corona Open in Mexico at one of […]
Glazed
It was a beautiful, semi-dark, ultra glass morning down at Bondi. It was eerily quiet – where was everyone? Barely anyone surfing, swimming or exercising. Very rare to see the beach like that in our neck of the woods. A small left nugget was randomly popping up at south, with just a couple of groms […]
Finals Day
I swam the Narrabeen WSL comp area at sunrise, and I liked what I saw! It was uber clean with barely a breath of wind, and the swell has gone a bit East, making it break better than other days – more consistent. It’s still only 2-3 foot but there’s plenty of waves at sunrise. […]

Debbie does…
