Hi Frothers !
This morning was very close to being perfect. Very close.
Almost all the ingredients were there:
- sun
- 20 degrees at sunrise
- perfectly smooth warm water – no wind
- lots of people out
- smiles all over the joint
Only things missing:
- another foot of swell, or 2 (let’s round it up to 3)
- some clouds at sunrise to throw some crazy colours in the sky
Bottom line, it’s a pretty amazing day. Enjoy it !

Hi Frothers !
5:20am: my alarm goes off. I press the snooze button. Yes ! I just bought myself another 10 minutes of happiness…1 hour later, I realize that I press the ”turn off alarm” button, not the ”snooze” one…
So, judging from what I’ve been told and what I’ve seen already: I missed a pretty amazing sunrise. You snooze, you loose…Damn !
Still, it was quite nice to shoot this morning, as it is a pretty nice warm|sunny day (but unfortunately for the Monday-Friday crowd: it’s Monday), and the waves are clean. They’re just a little small though, but with less water, you could get a fun Summer surf (2ft). Flippers and his mate were checking out Sculpture by The Sea this morning, taking their time between Tama and Bronte.

Hi Frothers !
It’s back ! It’s back ! The Sun is back, people !
I was getting tired of waking up for nothing, seeing the rain pouring every morning. This morning, I woke up all excited ’cause the forecast said that the sky should clear up. Looked through the window: rain, grey. Oh no…another one of those…
I slowly make my way down to the beach, drive around for a surf check, and then, all of a sudden, it’s there. We can see it punching through. The promised one. It’s here ! And what is that here ?! Blue sky ?! Yes, I can see the sky: Hallelujah, Mazel Tov ! Sneak out early for a vitamin D reload, if you can, as it shouldn’t last for too long.
The surf is not as good as it was last night, but you’ll be able to catch a few waves today, especially on the East and North facing beaches.

Hi Frothers !
Yes, we’re still fighting Winter in Sydney. Great weather to get some work done, but still. We want sun. We want heat. We want waves.
Here are some wildlife shots of the Galapagos Islands taken 1.5 month ago. The Galapagos archipelago is one of the last places on Earth where Nature still rules. Not men. Where wildlife is rich and not (directly) threatened by humans, making it approachable like nowhere else. It was tough to choose just a few shots. My memory cards would be full every night…

Hi Frothers !
If you forgot your sunblock to go to the racecourse today, don’t worry, you should be fine. The weather has decided to make us long for Summer. It’s grey, windy, rainy, cold…so I reckon we’d create a 5 minutes escape window before some you head off to the TAB.
Rapa Nui. Just the name in itself makes you travel.
Rapa Nui has been one of my stops from my recent (long) travels. Actually, the last stop, finishing on a high.
Rapa Nui belongs to South America, as this is a Chilean territory. But the reality is that Rapa Nui is deeply Polynesian. Language, traditions, way of life, etc…are a million times closer to what you’d find in Papeete than in Santiago.
Rapa Nui is one of those places where something mystical floats in the air. It must be coming from the Moai, those famous statues. They are mesmerising. At first, it’s a ”Wow”. And then, you cannot help but thinking ”how ? why ? who ?….wow”. A great place to explore, surf, dive, horse-ride, find peace and mostly discover a population rich in traditions, culture and open to discuss their identity issues, if you show enough curiosity.
Put it on your bucket list.

Have a good day ! May the odds be with you.
