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.

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.

Drawn Lines
Some people draw on walls, others draw lines on waves. As well as surfing her traditionally inspired longboard lines, my wife Katherine draws all kinds of lines on digital screens, paper, canvas, card, wood, surfboards and more. She keeps some of these drawings in a cyber place called Drawn Lines.

Green & Gold
Nothing olympic related, just some green and gold beach scenes from a few weeks back. It was a great morning to be off work.

The Little Things
The stoke is often in the details for me, the incidental things I sometimes overlook are an irreplaceable part of going surfing.

Silvery Greenery
I often get a sensory overload looking around out in the surf, it's a big big part of the stoke for me.

Four Ways
Four surfers, four waves, four boards. Apologies for stating the bleedingly obvious. All good fun.

Katherine & Liquid Salt
Katherine's been featured on Liquid Salt this week. Have a read and a peek at some of her designs here. Old Salty's one she made a little while back for Azza from Sealegged Surfboards.

The Golden Hour
When all the waves seem to come right to you and everything falls into place with no wobbly take-offs or bogged rails in sight. Those sessions don't happen too often for me, super stoked when they do though!

Soupy
Sure it was a wind blown, soupy and messy, dog's breakfast kind of line up – but it was warm, sunny and uncrowded.

Morning Hues
From earlier in the year when I was luck enough to score a few classic early morning sessions.

The Trim Squat
I'm fond of the front on, in trim squat while longboarding myself. It doesn't work so well when I'm riding a shortboard though...

Cooler Times
Some brief moments in time as seen from the beaches around here during the cooler months.

The Stubmaster
Sealegged's Azza Frost eating up some quiet winter walls on his stubby/boiled lolly model last year.

Ripple Riding
I'm sure I'm not the only one missing summer's warm water, but all in all the last summer was even lousier than usual for surf. Pretty much always a ripple for the longboarders though.

Salty Fresh
I'm sure I've said it before on here, and I'm sure I'll say it again - it's a great way to start the day.

The Surfer's Garden
Now I don't want to over generalise or cast aspersions on the work ethic of all surfers... but I'm guessing that compared with the general population surfer's gardens and odd jobs like painting may be lingering on to-do lists for a little longer than other people's, if not languishing there for some time!

Valla
You might remember my favourite board ever post from late last year, the board works as well as it does for good reason. Here's some insight into the passion and dedication the Joskes have for both their surfboards and surfing. Really well put together short from Mark Tipple.
