An extra hour of morning beach pleasure is what we got back on the weekend. And it is great news. The problem is that the weather and the surf this morning were not the best to enjoy it fully…
Yesterday was the only day of the year when Sunday early morning commitments are bearable, even after a late night at the pub. The difference it makes now is that you can hit the water from 5:45am, and get an hour of surf and still leave the beach before 7am. YES ! And for me, it means a lot more time to shoot you guys, and shoot from the water as soon as the conditions line up. But first, this wind needs to drop right down (Wednesday normally).
Today's conditions looked like the Margie Pro's conditions yesterday…And given how average it was, it is amazing what those guys pulled off ! But, the highlight of the day yesterday was the re-surf of Taj and Bede's heat, due to a claim made by Taj, forcing the heat to be re-done. The tension was crazy, and despite the drama, Bede confirmed his win. It must've been nerve wrecking for him, and he made it: good on him !
This morning, in the South corner, there was a photo shoot, which I found pretty funny. 2 young ladies, in normal sports wear (no bathers, nor steamers) posing with surfboards (no leggies, no fins either, and no wax). I'm not sure what this shooting was for/which client or brand, but I found it pretty funny as there was clearly no sense of reality in there. It's amazing how surfing can help sell stuff.
Have a great day.
