I dont' have much time to write these words, but what I can tell you in short: it's been a whils since we've had such good surfing conditions around here !
A nice Winter swell, accompanied by the crisp (understand: freezing) offshore breeze, and birght blue skies.
If you can go for a paddle, then go ! There is plenty of fun around.
Have a great day !

The Summer swell conditions have been replaced by what looks like a typical Winter swell.
This Westerly breeze make you have tears in your eyes, when you get the wettie on, or if you run too fast. The concrete is freezing, and the sand will numb your toes by the time you reach the water.
Once in the water, you'll have to dodge the close-outs. 3 to 5 foot does not work the best in Bondi in those conditions. If you're lucky or experienced, then you can pick the 1 bomb every 10 waves. Otherwise, it's tumbler-time !
We'll see how it evolves with the higher tide. It might clean up a notch. Worth having a look late morning.
On a different note, there is a lot happening in the background for Frothers ! Stay tuned…
Have a great day !

Get your beanie from the bottom drawer: it is chiiilly ! Not red hot chilly. Cold chilly.
The westerly seemed to give the chop a close shave. The water has been looking dead flat lately. But today, a couple of peelers are pushing through, 2 to 3 foot mark, clean.
I am really bummed that I missed this amazing sunrise on Friday…what a star ! Mr Malyon got a couple of shot of that cracker (check his instagram: @bradmalyon). So I must say this morning I had high hopes. My expectations were not met I must say…but it was still a nice morning to be outside, with a hot cup.
Have a great day !

Only a very small core team was enjoying this classic Winter morning today. A bunch of happy few.
Is it the howling wind of yesterday that kept everyone else off the beach ? Is it because the sun is sleeping in those days ? What is it ?
Personally, I love this time of the year. It's quiet, and yet, there is always someone to chat with, exchange some greetings, smiles, trash talk or jokes.
I love the life in this part of the World.

The Blizzard is biting today.
30 knots that have transformed all beaches into a lake, and despite the clear skies, only a few brave souls (brave but warmly wrapped) went down the beach this morning.
Only Ed and a couple of other guys found some waves were there seemed to be none. Ed has spent more time on the nose in his early session than I have seen for a loooong time in Bondi.
The crazy people from the Action Film Festival are holding a film contest in Bondi in a few months. It's for action sports in general but they need more surfing videos. Here is a compilation of their top 20 video entrants so far and a bit more info about how to participate ! Man…those base jumpers are nuts ! Check it out !
They are promoting action sport athletes and film making in NSW and in particular the Eastern Suburbs. But if you participate, it's not because there is a video camera that you should die…be bold, but be safe !
Have a great day !
