Hi Frothers,
Back in Bondi, and back to normal. This intense swell pulse is definitely still around, pushing water to our shores. Much more fun than yesterday. Bondi is just getting the right size to avoid excessive close-outs and Tama/Bronte looked fun as: Great day for it guys !
The last days, the IT hueys did not collaborate, which explains the radio silence. A couple of days of maintenance to allow to further enhance the website turned into a week. But it’s all back to normal now. We can get cracking on making our online gallery better again.
We are also happy to announce the start of a show at the Muchacho Clothing Store on 35 Hall Street in Bondi, starting tonight. So, to celebrate and open this new show, we’re inviting you for a few drinks tonight, starting tonight from 6pm. Make sure you come and say g’day ! If you can’t make it, no drama: the artworks will be there for the next few weeks. Go check them out in your own time.
Have a great day !

Hi Frothers,
I had a slow start today, due to a late night on a video job (not complainin’, just sayin’…). This is why this morning I took it slow and went first for a coffee (yes, I am an addict) and then made my way to the South Bondi platform area, aka ‘’the Eagle’s nest’’, alongside Amaury Tréguer from Morning Bondi (@morningbondi).
I must say that this was the perfect spot to be. What I find amazing is the ability to shoot so many different things from the same spot. In one look, you can get a real flavour of Bondi in the morning: the bay, the waves, the surfers, the yogis, the joggers, the dog walkers, the icebergs swimmer, etc. The best vantage point in town.
As you can see, there is sun…and surf ! Perfect Friday.
I did not have the time to wonder around to Tama or Bronte, but I’d reckon there’d be a wave there too.
Have a great weekend my friends. Next up-dates will come from Byron Bay (I’m sure you won’t mind…)

Hi Frothers,
I like the fact that some people will always ALWAYS see the glass half full. This morning, I saw just a few optimists on their surfboards around Bondi and 1 single one in Bronte.
As you can see, today is flat as Trump’s brainwave. Nothing. Nada. Perfect for a swim in summer coloured water !
Have a nice day.

Hi Frothers,
I decided to have a swim with the salt water junkies. They’re a weird bunch. They gather in the dark, and sneak into the water before everyone is even out the door to get their first coffee fix (aka ”the coffee junkies”).
Some of them can space out their fix for a longer period of time and would wait for the next big delivery of dope swell. Some others can’t get clean. Regardless of the size, they have to go. 100% dependant on their daily fix. Every man/woman for him/herself. 10 per wave. Typical withdrawal symptoms.
Those junkies have that one specific thing though: they look happy. They smile. They froth on life.
The only bad thing that I happened to me with those salt water junkies today is a couple of fins that acted like 2 sharp knives on my back. 2 large clean cuts in my brand new Patagonia wetsuit (frustrated sigh…). Lucky for me Patagonia is good at doing repairs (feeling a bit better sigh…). I think I will ask Aquatech to paint my next water-housing in yellow with flashing lights or something.
Have a nice day

Hi Frothers,
I am up before sunrise everyday….the kids have been getting up at 4:30am these days (cheeky monkeys!), so I have a headstart before everyone. Most mornings I swim laps down at Newcastle baths but in the back of the car I always has my camera ready to go!
Although life has changed a bit for me lately – with kids and work – I still has that driving passion for taking photos and I wanted to share a few fresh ones with you. It had been a while.
We’re in for a fairly flat week but we’re gonna have some amazing weather. Perfect to enjoy a morning swim like I do, as the water is still pretty warm.
Have a nice weekend.
