Great Expectations



One of those fleeting moments that makes surfing so good - the anticipation of the ride ahead as you feel the rails and plan your first move.

Azza & Jason



Two good men. Azza's the man behind Sealegged surfboards, captured here by Jason Smith - also above  in his own self portrait. I'll be featuring some of Jason's photos over the next few Mondays. He's the real deal!

Boday Bashing



Body surfing sounds far more graceful but often the reality is that our local "body bashing" nickname is far more apt. I know I had a lot of fun getting some close out views last summer with some fins I picked up for $15. Stoked.

Summer's Coming



With all this warm weather of late it's clear that Summer's just around the corner. Short interval, locally generated and wind affected swells abound, but in a way I know I'm still looking forward to it! Must be something to do with the long days, barbeques, warm water and all the rest that is part and parcel of our Summer.

Small Corner Runners



Small fun waves with a small mellow crowd, I didn't hear any complaints out there.

Classic Inspiration



One of my favourite sections from one of my earliest favourite surf movies, Searching for Tom Curren. This was the first time I became aware of the fish design.

Epic Winter




Here's a short video with a few of the heavier waves that were ridden around these parts this winter. I haven't actually taken many photos recently, been busy being a new dad : ) or getting out amongst it myself. It was such a good winter though. Lots of swell, with offshore sunny days and good crowd numbers and water temperatures.

Sealegged Stubby



Depends where you wanna go on a wave of course, but I reckon Azza's onto a super fun, super functional shape with his stubby. Check them out on his new Sealegged site
