It’s my 3rd day in a row on the report and I’m feeling a little fried. After surfing yesterday, then being up until after midnight on the computer, editing photos from the Oakley Big Wave Awards last night, getting up again at 5:30am this morning to shoot again wasn’t exactly what I felt like doing. But hey! You can sleep when you’re dead, right?

Last night’s Big Wave Awards was a swish affair at ‘Simmer on The Bay’, down at Dawes Point. Celebs and surf stars mingled on the harbour wharf while the beer and wine flowed on into the night. Bruce Irons flew out from Hawaii as guest host and presented the awards to all the hell men who made the cut. For details on the BWA, click HERE.

The surf has dropped a little but conditions remain the same. A choppy wind blown mess is the best description I can offer. Still, there are waves and the water is a warm at 23 degrees. I’m waxing up right now!
