I was hoping for a magic sunrise this morning but when I poked my head out the door at 5am it was raining. I tried to go back to sleep for a while as it was still very dark but it didn’t work, so when it was light enough I jumped in the car and headed for the ocean.
The opening black and white shot of Bronte Reef is the ugliness I was confronted with and what you will be faced with today. It will hopefully stop raining but that messy SE wind will still be with us all day. There were some huge bluebottles around yesterday and more than likely there will still be a few today. I was out Bondi yesterday testing out a single fin for the weekend and one of the biggest blue bubbles I’ve ever seen blew past me. It looked like a football! Well, maybe more like one of those small nerf footballs but it was pretty big!
I was over at Maroubra yesterday afternoon shooting Mark Mathews and Richie Vasculic, so instead of posting the terrible shots I grabbed this morning, I’m giving you a look at last nights action from a very rippable Dunny Bowl. While I was sitting on the rocks shooting, I met one very young, next gen up and comer, eleven yr old Max McGuigan. What a nice kid! And for his age, he rips! After the session, Mark said that Max told him that he has been practicing his pig-dogging and wants to surf Ours. At age eleven? They sure breed them crazy over at The Bra!
Watch out for those Bluey’s today! I will see you tomorrow with hopefully some better weather.
Cheers – Billy
