Well, that Northerly was causing abit of havok at the local, In hindsight i should have checked more protected spots. But there were people riding the bull up beach. Talk was that the wind was rolling bumps through the waves, making it feel like a rodeo.  Thinking of…

It’s been a while since we shot a morning session. These NOrtherly winds are early this year and havent budged. Not until this morning. We got some standard fun breezes, whilst the swell threw little rollers on a few peaks at the local. Everyone was out wanting to…

This morning was just too good. Waves were rolling through nicely, the crowds not too bad (well, not when I was there) and some great people rocking the beach.  It was one of those mornings you’d wanna chuck a sicky (but i got morals…soooo….) and just stay on the…

We had a birthday party up north today, so we headed up a little early to catch some point action. It was busy and it was low and slow. Typical for a summer-like morning, Weekend + School Holidays. The perfect storm for crowds anywhere around these parts.  Ella didnt…

It’s been a long week without the beach. I had a 4 day work-travel time to Sydney / Canberra / Young. I am very thankful to be back on the beach. We checked some wind-protected spots. One was too fat, one had a comp on. So we rolled the dice and headed to the local…

Man was I dusty this morning. Following from the greatest sporting achievement that man kind has ever seen (me winning a grand final of hockey) + the presentaiton last night, today was (and still is) a struggle. The joys over going to bed at 11:30pm and my kids…

The winter sports season comes to end today as I finish up playing hockey for the year. Yep, Grand Final time. You would suspect that by the time you are old enough, things like this don’t impact you as much, but it was a very quiet morning for me shooting on the…

I havent posted the last couple of sessions. It’s been a busy time work and family wise.  This morning was supposed to be 4 greens good. I dont think that was the case. BUT after going through my photos…maybe?   I felt it was short and sharp. Given it was bang on…

Today (I’m typing this at 9pm) was done big and right. Epic beach moments this morning.We were down from 6:45am until 8:45am. Had both camera’s working, and the kids got on the tools for abit, so i cant claim ALL the photos (but most).  Followed by church, followed by…

It doesn’t get much better.  Like, seriously. It just doesn’t.  Perfect conditions at the local this morning. No wind. Warm air. Warm water. Clarity. Decent swell.  Finally. How good is where we live.   Thinking of getting an image we have taken of you printed?…

This morning was unreal.  Yes, surfers probably could have done with a little but more power in the waves, especially the north end. It looked so close to straight up firing.  But the weather couldnt be better. Colours were insane. Water clarity at an all time high….

I love Mondays on the beach. The sense of newness for the start of the week. True frothers come out on Monday’s as the weekend crew takes a breather.  The swell had picked up and was dishing some tasty waves which was a better sight to shoot compared to Sunday…

Happy Fathers Day. And for me, it was. A great beach session led the day off. Not so great for the surfers. Man it just didnt have much power. But Ella sat in the corner and picked up 5-6 waves before anyone joined her. It wasn’t good in the corner, but it wasn’t much…

No cracked heads or falls this morning. It was the turning of a new season. The first weekend of Spring has us hitting 30 degrees and blaring sun. So it was a very slow morning on the beach. Waves were slow. Intentions were slow. Effort was easy.  Thinking of getting…

Yesterday afternoon we headed back to the beach. It was so hot that a arvo swim was a must. Ella got on the board for a little and I grabbed some frames of the afternoon crew doing there thing. This morning we headed to the local. The wind had turned back favourably…

It’s set to be 30 degrees today, one week into Spring. We have had a crazy warm winter and now followed up by a blistering start to Spring. These temps only happen with Northerly winds, so we headed to our favourite protected corner for some ocean fun.  By the time we…

First day of Spring had everyone gearing for some fun on the beach. Plenty of swimmers, walkers, runners, and of course surfers. The weather was all but perfect. A slight chill in the air but overall immaculate. Waves, well there was a bit on, if you were patient….

It was a flipping unreal couple of hours down the beach this morning. A typical Duggers setup.  North end was firing strong lefts, the mid had a couple of left-right banks and the southern corner was feeding the occasianal runner for the mals.  The sun was warm, the…

It’s neem a long Winter, but finally, Football (Soccer) season is over. Our last Under 8’s game was held at Corindi, which warrented a beach session up North prior to this mornings game.  Low and behold, another 3 photographers and 40 people in the water. Typical of…

It’s been a long week of work and the rest. Finally we found our selves celbrating the end of the week with a pre-work surf and shoot.  The weather was perfect, but waves were interesting. That was the take from everyone I talked to coming in.  Hopefully we continue…

What even is this weather? I burned my eyes out full proper today on the beach. 3 hours shooting with the boardriders crew for comp 6. But had to grab a few frames of the wife and friends in full summer mode this morning in the corner. Also, the north end was throwing…

Im back from work travels. Exhausted, but back. The family took north. Ella wanted to pick up a kitchen sink. Boys, how do we deal with our wives and facebook marketplace. Give me some help. The sink was in Corindi, so a great excuse to surf north this morning. …

As I write this, its 7:30pm on a Sunday night and I am reporting from a very full weekend. Photos are from the weekend. Had some fun shoots in the mornings before the days events took place. Even had a carpark birthday cake today. Happy Birthday Yuko! Outlook for me…

This morning was the craziest of light.  Not only did i get down a little earlier and shot the msot amazing sunrise, the mist coming off the water just held for 45 mins. It made shooting and editting super tricky. But wow. What a morning. Some real fun waves rolling…

At first look (7am) I was not impressed with what I saw. It was straight, it was small. It was shallow. But me being the ever-inspired athlete, i figured Id do the 1.5km walk of the beach in the hope to get lucky.  And get lucky I did. With some shots, and with some…

A typical Monday morning. An empty beach, with only those truly frothed heading into the waves. I love Monday’s for that. And to be fair, it was a weird one to engage in. I thought I wouldn’t have much to post today. Then a 4 wave set that was ridden gave me some…

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…
