I find myself constantly apologising for the lack of posting here, as always it's the same reason; work and life have been BUSY. This week though, things got comparatively settled. Surf was back on the menu.
Gee Piper getting out there
This last week I hooked up with old mates Daniel Davie and Gee Piper on the eastside. Gee and his wife Helen were staying with Daniel on the Coro. Gee's a well travelled Cornish surfer returns to the Antipodes most every other summer. This trip he's already scored Far North perfection, sizey 'Naki and then a week of this somewhat unremarkable swell that kept on keeping on, day after day.
Gee loving the eastside peelers
Dawns spent right...in the brine
Hmmmm, is swimming around alone at feeding time a great idea? Especially at the beach that both Daniel and Gee had seen a Mako breech twice the day before. I kind of decided to believe they were suffering from group hysteria and collective hallucination. How could you not swim with the camera when cool shit like this is going on...
Love me a good warppy backwash
Ooosh. Bloody art mate
C'mon, really you don't like it?
What about this pearler?
Daniel joining me with his latest Temu purchase to halve the nibble odds. FYI that $40 Temu i-phone case works really well!!!
Daniel, feeling a bit Gull-able... ORRR taking a Tern for the worse... yes, yes I did.
Dan, all style... except for that fricken Temu T....what the hell bro???
Dan travelling
Gee potentially pushing his 5'6 twin to it's limits
Old travelling buddy Luke Harwood was back in town for a visit from Cali too.... should I write he didn't know where to TERN...or there were so many different Terns he didn't know which one to take??? Done it now
orrr Luke doing a man Tern
ok, ok, enough of the bird puns. Bloody good to see ya Luke. Luke's family home in Topenga Canyon was caught in the California wildfires last year. He's going back to rebuild it
Sooooo Preeeeety
FROM THE GALLERIES
This photo is my first ever commercially used image from 1991, it was used in Tracks Mag and later became a best selling T-shirt print for Hot Buttered. It's old, it's classic, that's quite a weird status for the guy that took the photo. I still remember the day and the consideration I put into the composition- mainly I remember how pumping the waves were. Here's a recent example of a client's framing of it, now happily hung in their Noosa residence.
The OG, still valid, it's pretty cool. You can check it out HERE
