Head Dipping
Photo courtesy of my good mate Jason Smith. The board is a chunky little 5'10 single fin Azza of Sealegged fame shaped very early on in his board building career. It's a lot of fun, I really enjoy single fins.

Super Glider
Four inches thick and Volon glassed, a 12 foot Californian longboard, ready for some serious trimming.

Orange
Same session as the second last post. It was actually a busy Saturday morning and the conditions were such that nearly every break on this stretch of coast would've been hosting some decent waves.

Lady Logger
Early Autumn when most of the guys had already, and probably unnecessarily retreated to their steamers.
Thanks Dan, I can now add that this lady logger is Nicole Maloney. Fine with a surfboard and fine with a pen. See what I mean here.

Sharing Is Caring?!
Sharing is caring. Well so some people say! It usually depends on the context though, like whether they're inside or outside you at the time... or how well you know them, or if you're both catching a wave to avoid one of the men in grey suits.

Hangs Upon Nothing
Nice looking film, more emphasis on the journey than the destination although still some seriously good waves ridden.

Sunday Mornings
Sunday mornings are often quite busy in the lineups around here. This one was atypical though - reasonably populated but not uncomfortably so, with great conditions and fun waves on a well defined bank. And it was one of the last weekends of the calendar summer.

Let's Not Forget Jacko Either
Jacko joined Nat and Zid and a whole host of others in their quest for some kind of notoriety or recognition. I wonder whether their rock carvings or these images now floating through cyberspace will last longer?

So Was Zid
Can't imagine there's too many Zids out there. Anyway like Nat, one of them also took the time to make their mark in stone.

Nat Was Here
No young Nat here. Two local longboarders though, and good ones too. Nat someone decided to scratch their name in a rock at the beach.

Fathoms
Huge waves, cold water, wild weather... I think I'll stick to cruising the beachies around here!

Scene from the Beach
Scenes many miles from home. There's no pandanas trees at the beaches I haunt around here, but I try and be where they are a few times each year.

Three Foamers
It was summer and it was warm. The waves obviously weren't great but this guy rode a bunch of waves in a short amount of time and called it a surf. A friend of mine has an interesting rule for himself; he has to ride at least three waves to call it a 'surf'. Fair enough I reckon.

Frosty Fruits
Dug up these from the archives, Azz & Shelly a few years ago now. Soon to be parents, I'm looking forward to meeting junior.

Rocky Point + Concrete
A fun point near here with rocks on it, not quite the same as the Hawaiian Rocky Point.
Some friends and I recorded this song a while back, the genesis of which occured while negotiating some broken glass in the carpark of one of my favourite beaches on the coast.

Little Lady Slider
She had a permanent smile and rode wave after wave after wave. Not a summer day she'll ever forget I reckon.

Four Way Fun
I haven't actually tried all these surf craft personally, but whatever brings on the fun.

Summer Grovelling
The waves were nothing to write home about, but the water was warm and the sun was out. A fun grovelly session in south east QLD. It was a pretty rare day when the water, sky and wind all came together at once this Summer just been. But then again that's not that unusual for summer.

Stunned Mullet
I'm thinking it's probably an Australian expression, so for those from further afield... the stunned mullet is a look of bewilderment or astonishment. The guy on the rocks in the top right is doing a pretty good impression. The waves passing in front of those rocks were nothing special either so I'm not really sure what brought the look on. Maybe he saw a mermaid swim by.

The Phantom
More Surfing Videos
In case you haven't already seen it. It makes me cringe and and want to run away but at the same time I can't take my eyes off it! A bit long and slow, but check out the first few. It is "Chopes" apparently like it's never been before.

Lone Lady Slider
Another one for the ladies. I know this one pretty well, mother of my son in fact. Katherine trimming near home.

Water's Edge/Ladies Day
I've noticed that my "Water's Edge" collages (usually featuring surfers and their surfcraft on the water's edge) are heavily dominated by blokes. So today we have 100% surf ladies by the water's edge.

Farewell Summer
Not that it felt like there were too many days like these to be missing... Oh well maybe next time. Pretty happy to be in Autumn.

McTavish Territory
Testament to Bob's well earned place in Australian surfing and board building history, "McTavish Territory" could pretty much be anywhere with a surfable coast in Australia. But these are a few snatches of a quick trip through northern NSW and southern QLD earlier this year.

Surfer Joes
Surfer Joes doing their thing. Cruising, racing, stalling. Various moments from this thing we call surfing.

Autumn Welcome
Nine days in, how remiss of me not to mention already... she's here. Autumn. The surfers season. Here's to deep blue skies, swells from afar, and steady offshore breezes.

Jim again. Merger of art, design, surfing & fashion. Rider of longboards. Check out the talent on his TCSS team roster, it's thick with some of Australia's best log riders.
