After the howling west winds of yesterday, I expected pretty close to flatness when I walked out the door at 5:30am. I was so surprised when I saw 2 to 3 feet of clean south swell as I hit Bronte. I had planned to do something at Maroubra this morning but plans change and I swung the wheel left and headed north, back to Australia's most famous beach, the south swell magnet – Bondi.
Another magic Spring morning with light west winds. I wasnt going to waste it floundering around too long on the land. I needed to get wet and start the day with a bang! A quick few shots of the sunrise and I put the camera in the water housing. Good crew out this morning. Very cosmopolitan as usual for Bondi but also a couple of true locals. Guys like Ian Wallace, the red hot goofy foot who found a few running lefts to carve upon. Bummer I didnt link up with him but thats water shooting. You never know what you get.
Friendly faces paddle past and almost always ask – "You shooting for a website?" "You bet," I reply. "Frothers." "Oh yeah, cool, I look at that ever day!" They often say. Hearing that makes it all worthwhile.
Took a shot of a couple of mates, DK and Froth (nice nickname). Froth is the one in boardies. The only guy in boardies!!! What was he thinking? His mate, DK is going in for shoulder surgery today, so its his last surf for a while. Nice to see Huey bless him with a nice day to finish. We wish him good luck and a speedy recovery.
Dont muck around today people, its too nice to waste one second.
Cheers
Bill Morris
