It's not as warm as it looks, but there are waves this morning…
First, there was the alarm clock killing me: 5am, seriously ?! And then the ''cold'': 17 degrees. Mid-january: really ?! A quick check at Bondi: junkyard: greeeeat…My mood is terrible at that moment.
Hitting the road to get to Bronte (with the heating on), the sky is getting blue. Finally the sunrise, a nice one, with warm golden tones: I feel better already. Getting my feet wet to shoot, It feels much warmer in the water. I wish I was surfing. Smiles all around me, runners, swimmers, photographers, walkers: everyone seems to be delighted to see the sun again, after some autumn-like days.
1, 2, 3,…5 surfers later, the waves are still there in Bronte, offering some playful rides. It's not clean though, but it's alright. Enough for a bit of glide before work. If you can wait until mid-tide, then wait 'till then: I reckon it's gonna be better.
Bondi is a bit bigger, busier, and waves are more frequent…but it's a lot less cleaner than in Bronte. So, the choice is yours: what's your trade-off.
Now, imagine one of the World's best ski-freeriders and accomplished waterman, merging both his worlds. Have a look at this: waterskiing Jaws ! Don't worry about the overdub (it's in French). The footage speaks for itself !
Have a nice day. The sun is back for a few days, so go enjoy it !
