Here's 20 of my favourite posts from this year. No Indonesian perfection, but a bunch of good times around home.

Last Time

 
A little montage featuring the baby bump last time my wife Katherine was pregnant. I say last time, because yep it's happening all over again : ) Stoked. I can see it may become even harder to keep posting my incidental surferjoe photos here with any frequency, but we'll see how it pans out. I know we're both keen to cram a bunch of surfing in this summer holidays anyway. Fingers crossed for some uncharacteristic epic summer days! I'll try and gather some evidence for future posts if so... Season's greetings to you and yours.

BIG Yew!


There's nothing like those early waves, sensory overload!

Lone Ranger


This guy was all alone on this solid winter morning. He picked off this much smaller inside wave before a set exploded further out.

Three Riding Two Waiting


I know I know, not a particularly imaginitive post title today. A few shots from different spots at different times of year. By the way, life is busy, I'm going to be posting once a week for a while...

A Summer Corner


Last summer at one of my favourite southern corners.

Point Flashes


You know those days at a southern corner or point when there's flashes of strong sunlight between the greyness and a few of the softer sorts have been scared away by the odd rain squall, good times.

RESPECT


Give it to gain it, not too sure how often this advice is heeded at these busy northern breaks...

The Heart & The Sea

Nathan Oldfield's a local surf film maker and this is a peek into his upcoming movie due out later this year. Looks really cool.

Child's Play


Piaget described playing as the serious business of childhood. It's something I love about surfing - people well beyond their childhood years "playing" in the surf, doing something for the pure enjoyment of it. Plenty of adults make no time for something this frivolous in their lives. Although many other people enjoy different playful pursuits, for me none I've experienced are near as engrossing as surfing. The plan is to keep playing in the ocean as long as I have breath. What a privilege it is to surf.

Tony Rides Again


A man frequently found in the morning surf of this particular stretch of sand.

No takers out there on this winters morn.

Returning


The cutback is a classic surfing foundation. It's probably second only to the bottom hand turn, forever keeping us close to the source.
