A no-doubt prized MR zipping across one of my preferred local point breaks, especially when you luck into one of those rare uncrowded sessions.

Out In Force
Groms will be out in force over the next few weeks with the arrival of Spring school holidays today. I can't think of a better way to occupy and wear them out, it sure beats computer games or hanging out in a shopping centre.

Going
One of the breaks that won't break much until next years southerly swell train start chugging in. I scored a few fun sessions out there this winter, even had one early morning to myself with the rain falling sideways...

Daylight
Spring has sprung and the days are noticeably longer. I've squeezed in a few longer early sessions lately. I'm not really looking forward to daylight savings this year... early surfs are a more manageable proposition with two kids in the mix now. I'm looking forward to the day when they can join me in the lineup : )

Moving
I haven't posted for a good while now, but I'm feeling keen. The plan is to do it weekly. I've enjoyed some nice uncrowded waves lately. This was a crowded Bay day, ages ago.

Surrounded
An unknown surfer joe moments before being surrounded by a decent sized one. This was just one of the many larger days we've enjoyed this Autumn.

Finally
It's a good feeling on those bigger days when it's crowded and everyone's jostling for waves, and you finally get one to yourself! This was a busy Sunday afternoon earlier in Autumn. I was feeling this guys stoke from a mile away as he sped off down the line.

Phil Roxburgh
I stop in to their home town every now and then for a surf, and it's a pretty rare morning not to see at least one member of the Roxburgh family turning heads in the lineup.

Jive Surfing
Am I imaging it, or did surfers once talk about jive surfing?! Whatever you want to call it, I dig the style going on here.

Spaghetti Surf
The good people at Korduroy tv used our song Baja-ha for this short about Californian artist Jay Nelson. When I say "our" I mean The Mandelas as seen on the music player on the right side of the blog. Baja-ha's our only instrumental and has a bit of a western infused 60's surf sound, or something similar... ascribe your own label! If you like what you hear the 5 track EP is $10 delivered anywhere in Australia. Overseas available too. Drop us a line at themandelas@gmail.com

It Will Come
Winter that is. If you've had enough of the crowds and mostly marginal conditions… But I don't want to wish summer away too soon though!

Solo Peaks
Earlier this year we had a few days in a sleepy little coastal town with a fun point break of some renown, except there was a gaping big hole where all the sand usually gathers and the point itself really was fast asleep. However, early each morning I ventured only a few hundred metres to the north and gorged myself on some small but very shapely and very empty peaks. Stoked.
