Froth

Hi Frothers !

We got quite a few phone call last week to know whether it was too late to order frames for Xmas. Well, it’s not too late, but it will be tight !

So, we just wanted to use today’s ”froth-themed” newsletter to encourage you to decide in the next couple of days in order to secure your high quality framed print for Xmas. After that, we’ll do our utmost, but won’t guarantee that the frame will be hanging on the wall on Boxing Day.

Have a good look at our constantly updated online Gallery for great gift ideas. How about this new amazing shot from Beau Pilgrim above, exclusively available through the Frothers Gallery ? (if only I had more walls at home…)

It’s a sunny day outside. Waves have temporarily disappeared, but there will be a new pulse mid-week, unfortunately with strong Southerly winds. Until then, it’s beach time: sun and heat !

Have a great day.

Celebration

Hi Frothers !

A lot of people wear thin, fat, hideous, porn-star or Magnum mustaches this month. Yes, Movember.

Sometimes we even tend to forget what the cause behind is. Another tax deductible donation we think. That’s until someone close, someone you know or see everyday has to go through the pain, and the mourning. This is the sad reminder that prostate cancer is a reality, regardless how healthy you’ve lived you life.

This morning, one of our most bubbly & famous beach bums is saying her final goodbyes to her Dad and best friend. So, those who could not make it to the celebration (no, not a funeral, a celebration!) had gathered to pay their respect under a pretty nice sunrise.

A special morning that should remind us not to take life too seriously, to have fun & make happiness our top priority.

Try to enjoy the new swell, even if it is far from perfect. There are some needles in this big haystack.

Have a great day.

Oven baked

Hi Frothers !

24 degrees at 6:30am !

We are going to be spending the day in a giant oven with the fan on. Only one way to deal with these burning high thirties: an immersion the beautiful green of the Ocean !

There is a wave. It’s fun. The water is divine.

All the ingredients for a nice day !

Back in busy-ness

Hi Frothers !

God, the beach was busy this morning !

Last night’s epic surfing conditions probably got everyone excited about waking up early for a surf before work. Problem is that the size dropped right off, and the high tide at sunrise didn’t help…Bottom line: too many people on too few & too small waves.

I just went for a paddle, after most have let the boardies to dry on the balcony or in the back of the car, and conditions had already improved a lot. There were some fun ones out there, and I guess there will be a few people late at work this morning !

If you were up early, you might have struggled to see the horizon line, as 3 massive cruise ships were sitting just outside of the bay. If, like me, you wonder what was going on, then see here (thanks Amaury !).

It’s busy, but it’s fun to be down there in the morning. Just choose your foamie over your schmick board…

Have fun today !

Waves

Hi Frothers !

After some days of flat or mushy waves, the fun conditions are back.

Yes, I know: why didn’t that happen over the weekend ? I wish I had the answer…

But you know what: the days are longer, which should help everyone to have a decent share of this freshly arrived swell. It’s 3-5 foot in Bondi (with the usual close-out with the odd larger set wave), and this afternoon, Bronte, Tama & Maroubra could potentially turn on as well. The only unpredictable factor this week is going to be the wind, especially the afternoon Southerly.

So, this week, if you want to catch some, the morning surf will most likely be the safest bet.

Have a great day.

Franck, gone surfing !
