It has been two weeks of nothing from me. After a weekend of hockey in Tamworth, my 40 year old body has taken a lot longer to recover and mornings have been hit the hardest.  But this morning we ventured up north for some tasty waves (and treats at the general…

Looking at the apps i figured today would be a very low and slow morning.  It was low. That swell is pretty much missing the beach. It wasn’t slow though. Quick punchy waves (albiet too straight most of the time) gave surfers some fun. The light was pumping. The day…

What a way to start the week (yeah its Tuesday, Monday was a recovery day).  Got to the beach. Battery 1, dead. Batter 2, dead. Battery in second camera… 4% Ugh. Such a rookie.  So, I got a couple of shots on the camera until it wouldn’t go no more, then flew the…

It was a weekend of waves.  Saturday was spent at the local, twice. Shoot, Soccer, Shoot. Oh the family life. Sunday we headed north to surf some of the cutest, smallest waves on offer. Ella was the first out, which is crazy on a weekend. But you take what you can…

I keep checking Macauleys. It’s a North West wind, but its just not working, and yet, the ol faithful carries itself still. It shouldn’t and i doubt it did once that wind kicked a gear around 8am.  But for the first hour of light, it was pretty fun to shoot. Some…

Beach convo’s are good for the soul. Spending a moment with Ron post his surf chatting life, being too full, finding space and creating room for the things we need to thrive was pretty inspiring and encouraging.  The surf, well, I think the photos make it seem a lot…

And the reward for those who got out early enough was probably the best sunrise of the year.  I scampered as quickly as possible and got to the beach i thought would be working. Nope. No one out. But the light and clouds were amazing.  So headed over the hill and shot…

What was that? The most electric 15-20 mins of the last few months. The sun crept between the clouds and put on a show. The surf was actually pretty fun by the looks of things. Plenty of waves, clean, longer than usual rides. What a dream start to the working week!…

The last few days have been a fizzle. Big clouds, slight rain, bursts of sun, small waves and shifting winds.  That doesnt stop the legends for having a splash and making the most of our mornings.     If you’re featured in a photo and want the high res, let me know…

We are genuinly trying to surf at our local, but keep hitting this pestering low tide that is producing small, but close out sharp waves.  So yesterday we headed south. We had planned a trip to Dorrigo for a bush walk and to stop in at Pit Stop Burgers for lunch (the…

We had to do some searching this morning. This swell pulse were making the local spots pretty hairy. So we headed up north.  I had a fun family shoot with some new friends too, which was a treat.  Then we headed to the Emerald Fair and took on some treats. Now, I need…

The predictions were right. A super lull this morning in swell saw some itty bitty waves on a gorgoues winters morning. No wind to speak of, so temps were nice. It was a morning for the ultra frother, or the ultra patient. I also got a cheeky snap of myself, which is…

After a weekend plus in Brisbane and a month of crazy weather, it was a pleasent reset to be back at the beach this morning.  I felt the weekend was a rip off (not being at the beach) and the Broncos sure added to that feeling. Dropping a couple of hundred to watch…

Awwwwww man. We finally got a sun-soaked morning on the Coffs Coast.  And as I type, the clouds are back, but… whatever.. This morning was rad. A fun a-frame popping up and pushing some nice sized nuggets through. We had the CHBC training crew too this morning,…

It couldn’t be more of a Monday. And I love Mondays. The smaller crowd. The start of something new. The surfers are frothers. It’s actually the best day to surf if you hate crowds, and we experienced that on our travels across the country. It was a roll of the dice. I…

This swell is pumping. We checked a couple of beaches after shooting the novalty and it was BIG.  It was a fun Sunday shoot though. The boys on the rocks and getting to shoot a couple of unique angles. Thankfully the sun came to play for about 20 mins too!  If you’re…

This mornig involved checking both locals. The swell has dropped slightly, but has cleaned up a lot.  What I shot was a lot of straight lines. A very easterly swell direction bringing fast, straight lines.  But the kids managed well. Wave selection is such an…

May continues to deliver some truly inconsistent weather, but this morning the sun was back and it was a beautiful bright morning. With a 2-3ft swell, after so much rain, conditions were a little chaotic in the water. Couple that with a State surfing competition in…

I wasn’t sure how long id be shooting for this morning. Clouds loomed, but the rains held off. The swell was its own. Unpredictable, shifting. There was gold if you were patient AND lucky enough to be in the right spot. Not sure how long we have for this weather…

I wasn’t sure about hitting the beach this morning, but I needed to be in town to buy Cove a school jacket. So we loaded the car and headed to the local. We got about 20 mins of shooting in before we relocated to Cafe Aqua for some hot chocolates and a breakfast donut…

I took a gamble this morning after lookiung to the sky. A very overcast mood, but figured it might be worth a look. One of the two local spots i checked was kinda working, as you see below. It was fast, and breaks were happening up and down the beach. It was a roll of…

It doesnt get much better than this. After such a rainy and weather affected start to May, and April being so incredible, I felt like it was only a matter of time until the stars aligned.  And aligned they did.  We spent the weekend at Crescent Head. I think I shot…

April will go down as one of the best months of capturing surf on the Çoffs Coast that I’ve ever had.  I shot 29 of the 30 days (no idea what happened on the 2nd of April) and we had such a wide range of conditions. 2 large swell pulses consisting of overhead clean…

You cant win them all. Yesterday it was clouds. This morning, swirling winds that just turned the local spots into mush. We had a few frothers take one for the team, but to not much joy. At least the sun is out AND there is some good looking swell on the horizon.  If…

This morning was far from stellar. The cloud just hung and hung and so the post production of image editing did a lot of heavy lifting for this mornings photos. It was a weird morning too, wave/surf wise. Not sure how to describe it. But I did say it was pretty bad to…

Another stellar morning on the Coffs Coast. It was just too good to not head down to the beach. The swell has subsided. It is very much back to normal in terms of feel and amount of people in the water.  If you’re featured in a photo and want the high res, let me know…

Another brilliant public holiday with a beach filled with frothers and enough waves to go around.  If you’re featured in a photo and want the high res, let me know via email or Instagram / Facebook. I’m more than happy to share photos of you for you to keep, print,…

We had patches of sun, patches of drizzle, downpours, heat… it all. The weather is all over the shop, but it didnt stop me getting some snaps over the weekend. You might see me wearing Joggers down the beach. Don’t judge. I’m desperately trying to sort out some heel…

I ummed and ahhhhed about whether to head down this morning. It was very gloomy, but figured it has been so good lately that I’ve got to try. And try we did, for about 15 mins until the rain bucketed down.  But I did fuel up the car and it was 10cents cheaper than…

This swell continues to carry on, which is amazing. Last year we missed ALOT of the Autumn / Winter swell due to rain and storms. It feels we are settling back into a normal kind of Winter ahead. I had a short window, that was rudely interupted by a passing cloud that…
