Water's Edge

Sean Finnelley

Sean's one of Sealegged's log riding test pilots. This was back in January and he was quickly getting acquainted with his new sled while the always frothing school-holiday groms frothed on.

Learning To Surf

The first rides will always be some of the most remembered.

Water's Edge

Technicolour Surf

Okay so not technically "technilcolour", but some colourful surfing moments.

Four Ways

Different beaches, different boards and surfers - all good fun.

Surfer Girls

Water's Edge

It's been a fair while since running some Water's Edge posts. I hope to keep them semi regular from now on. I enjoy seeing the various surfcraft and the equally diverse cast of surfers who ride them. I probably only know a few of the surfers personally,  for quite a few I recognise their faces, boards or styles, but no name or life beyond the high tide mark, and others still are one-offs - people passing through or visiting from other parts of the coast who I wouldn't recognise from a bar of soap. All surfer joe's just coming and going, doing their thing.

SUPA Cowboys

SUPers... keep a close eye on them, there's some real cowboys amongst their ranks.

Rise and Surf

The Levitator

It seems Eric doesn't even need a board these days.

Summer Scenes

Mid January, warm and inconsequential. Pretty different to some of the waves on offer over the last week or so...

Moody Waters

Plenty of moody and muddy waves around yesterday, still some today and even more tomorrow. These particular ones were actually from a big day last winter.

I let the hosting lapse on the www.surferjoe.com.au domain for a little while, but it's back online now! Hope you've been having some enjoyable ocean immersive moments lately. The water temp is certainly just right this summer and some amazing water colours too.

John Gill purveyor of Keyo stoke, sliding some fun peelers on a recent summer morning.

The Silver Seats

 

The scene from the silver seat under the pines early yesterday morning, before that sweltering 40 degree heat had set in. I had a few of those fun rip-bowl rights myself. So good to be in the water.

Skyfall

Happy new year, hope you score a bunch of waves in 2013!

2012 Top 20

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!

Late Arv Light

Brand Nue Day

Micronesian Lines

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...
