It was very still and cold at the beach this morning. My hands were burning while holding my camera and I wished I had some gloves. Three weeks in Fiji has made me soft and I haven't even touched the water yet but I know it's cold.

Plenty of crew were eager to sample the new little south swell that has appeared over night. It's only 2 foot at best but there are some clean peelers well suited for a log or fish if you feel motivated.

The death of astronaut, Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon isn't something that is surf related, besides the fact that the moon has such a huge influence on our oceans. He was, however, one of the most well know identities on earth and I still remember the day in primary school when he took those first few steps on the Luna surface and being so captivated by it.

I also remember tearing up my cardboard Luna module, the one my Dad bought me from the Ampol service station. I was frustrated because I was struggling to make the pieces fit together. I haven't changed much.
