Pastel

Hi Frothers !

What an amazing sunrise to start this Tuesday morning. Light colours in pastel touches created by the clouds…a real delight.

But on top of that, there are some waves, pretty much everywhere, and the light wind made it even more attractive for a pre-work paddle out.

It was so good to be back on the tools after a week spent on a deck chair. I missed it. I really enjoy the vibe in the morning at this time of the year. The bubble isn’t as full. Less hectic. It feels more like we live in small villages again. Small villages with waves, great morning lights, amazing quality of life, and a cool community vibe. Me like it.

See you tomorrow !

Quick One

Hi Frothers !

After an amazing week spent at the Pop-Up store, and last week busy with a commercial shoot, we’re back on the up-dates this week (thanks for your patience).

But today is just a quick one (as I didn’t have the time to stick around too long) to tell you that there are waves around town. It’s not perfect but good enough and there aren’t many people in the water, which is a plus. 2-5ft range.

On behalf of all the Frothers Team, we would like to thank you all for coming to the Pop-Up store last week. Amazing comments & encouraging support. We’re stoked that so many incredible pieces are now on your walls !

Have a great Monday. See you tomorrow !

Reduce, Re-use, Recycle

Hi Frothers !

Introducing today our new 100% recycled photo frames.

Recycled ?! Yes ! Made out of recycled wood, polystyrene and printed…on a white stone !

The feel is warm, raw, and rustic. No glass, means no reflection: perfect from every angle.

But at Frothers, we’d like to take the recycling to the next level. If you buy one of those artworks and decide that you would rather have another image printed on this frame after a while, bring it back to us, and we’ll be able to sand the stone and re-print another image on it for obviously a lower price than a new frame. How good is that ?! No need to chuck your frames away when you tastes change, when you move apartment or when you change girlfriend/boyfriend ! Come and see these new frames at the container, across from Maccas, on Campbell Parade in Bondi Beach. We’ll be here till at least 6:30pm tonight and the other nights, till Sunday.

Fancy a free drink with us ? Come over to the pop-up store from 4:30pm on Friday 8th March till 8pm (or later)…Salty Dogs will have your thirst sorted. You’re all invited !

Surf-wise ?….well, let me have a look over my laptop screen again: ankle high. No winds. Perfect blue day. 32ºC on offer later today ! Yes: 32 ! Autumn is a bliss.

Have a great day !

Oh yes, I’ve decided to share with you a few images taken in Byron Bay a couple of days ago, under the waters of Julian Rocks.

Have a great day !

Chilly But Good

Hi Frothers !

It was a bit chilly this morning, but such a nice morning to paddle !

There ocean has a pulse. After a few moments of nice runners in Bondi at sunrise, it quickly turned to a big close-out mess. Bronte and Tama, however, looked the goods ! I reckon Maroubra would be a nice pick too…probably the best one actually.

D-Day -4 until the Frothers Gallery Pop-up store opens ! Can’t wait to see you guys there to check out some really nice work from all Frothers Photographers + some cool work from Beau Pilgrim’s ”Salty Dog Stories” + some local sustainable candle work from SeaBorneArt (Cally Sheehan) ! We’ll also be presenting a new type of printing/framing, highly distinctive from what you usually see and….100% recycled/recyclable ! That’s plenty of good reasons to pay us a visit between 4th to 10th April from 9am to 6pm in the red container alongside Campbell Parade, just across from Roscoe Street & Maccas.

Have a great day !

Easter Frothers

Hi Frothers !

I am just back from the long weekend and I hope that, like me, you had a blast.

I was actually difficult to grab the camera as much as I should have: the surf was so good that I just wanted to surf. I was frothing so hard that every photo I took was getting in the way to another wave I could surf. I am not sure how the South Coast looked like, but If you were up the coast, you probably scored !

For the weekend, we picked Crescent Head & RaceCourse (and a couple of local beach breaks). From the points to the beach or river mouth, we’re talking 1 to 2 minutes of uninterrupted glide. Pure joy.

I just had a look at Bondi, and it’s actually looking very nice in the local standards. Long rides. 2 to 3ft+ and quite consistent. And the sun is out, which is a bonus.

I’ll be back on the morning duty tomorrow morning.

D-Day -5 until the Frothers Gallery Pop-up store opens ! Can’t wait to see you guys there to check out some really nice work from all Frothers Photographers + some cool work from Beau Pilgrim’s ”Salty Dog Stories” + some local sustainable candle work from SeaBorneArt (Cally Sheehan) ! We’ll also be presenting a new type of printing/framing, highly distinctive from what you usually see and….100% recycled/recyclable ! That’s plenty of good reasons to pay us a visit between 4th to 10th April from 9am to 6pm in the red container alongside Campbell Parade, just across from Roscoe Street.

Till then, have a great day !
