Hi Frothers !
It’s Monday, and I am back in action after getting smashed by this terrible disease called the Man-Flu. Judging by the weather, I don’t think I have missed much from last week’s mornings…
However, I would have hated to miss this morning: what a nice day ! Sometimes it can be a struggle to get 5 or 10 nice (surfing) shots. And some mornings, you get home and the real challenge is to narrow the selection down to ”only” 15 shots. Today is one of those great mornings.
So, I have decided to share only a part of what I have shot today and keep the rest for the rainy days (Wednesday, Thursday or Friday…).
The air-show was on in a clean 2-2.5ft down at Bondi, whilst the few who decided to surf in Tama or K-Bay were occasionally getting a gem. Lots of fun Summer waves for everyone !
Like for almost anything, there is a 80/20 rule. Today was no exception: 80 of the waves were shredded by 20% of the surfers. I think that Perth, Pama, Joel and Sage were happy to be on the ”20” side of the fence.
If you have seen me shooting this morning, but can’t see yourself in the selection, send us an email. The hard drive is full of shots from today’s early session.
Have a great day !

Hi Frothers !
You love it. You’ve wished for it. You’ve longed for it. And today, it’s finally here: Summer !
With it, the backpacks, the small waves, the heat, the crowds, the party waves, the lack of empty parking spots, the rescues, the nano-bikinis, the 128 different languages on the beach,…in summary: happiness, Eastern Suburbs style !
The weather Gods are throwing a great day to celebrate the first of 91 days of Summer: 36 degrees. But the water will keep you cool (it’s actually quite cold today – it lost a few degrees overnight…).
And today only, we have a special discount across the all our artworks. Just type in SUMMER when checking-out, and you’ll discover how much you’ve just saved.
Have a great day !

Hi Frothers !
We got quite a few phone call last week to know whether it was too late to order frames for Xmas. Well, it’s not too late, but it will be tight !
So, we just wanted to use today’s ”froth-themed” newsletter to encourage you to decide in the next couple of days in order to secure your high quality framed print for Xmas. After that, we’ll do our utmost, but won’t guarantee that the frame will be hanging on the wall on Boxing Day.
Have a good look at our constantly updated online Gallery for great gift ideas. How about this new amazing shot from Beau Pilgrim above, exclusively available through the Frothers Gallery ? (if only I had more walls at home…)
It’s a sunny day outside. Waves have temporarily disappeared, but there will be a new pulse mid-week, unfortunately with strong Southerly winds. Until then, it’s beach time: sun and heat !
Have a great day.

Hi Frothers !
A lot of people wear thin, fat, hideous, porn-star or Magnum mustaches this month. Yes, Movember.
Sometimes we even tend to forget what the cause behind is. Another tax deductible donation we think. That’s until someone close, someone you know or see everyday has to go through the pain, and the mourning. This is the sad reminder that prostate cancer is a reality, regardless how healthy you’ve lived you life.
This morning, one of our most bubbly & famous beach bums is saying her final goodbyes to her Dad and best friend. So, those who could not make it to the celebration (no, not a funeral, a celebration!) had gathered to pay their respect under a pretty nice sunrise.
A special morning that should remind us not to take life too seriously, to have fun & make happiness our top priority.
Try to enjoy the new swell, even if it is far from perfect. There are some needles in this big haystack.
Have a great day.

Hi Frothers !
24 degrees at 6:30am !
We are going to be spending the day in a giant oven with the fan on. Only one way to deal with these burning high thirties: an immersion the beautiful green of the Ocean !
There is a wave. It’s fun. The water is divine.
All the ingredients for a nice day !

Hi Frothers !
God, the beach was busy this morning !
Last night’s epic surfing conditions probably got everyone excited about waking up early for a surf before work. Problem is that the size dropped right off, and the high tide at sunrise didn’t help…Bottom line: too many people on too few & too small waves.
I just went for a paddle, after most have let the boardies to dry on the balcony or in the back of the car, and conditions had already improved a lot. There were some fun ones out there, and I guess there will be a few people late at work this morning !
If you were up early, you might have struggled to see the horizon line, as 3 massive cruise ships were sitting just outside of the bay. If, like me, you wonder what was going on, then see here (thanks Amaury !).
It’s busy, but it’s fun to be down there in the morning. Just choose your foamie over your schmick board…
Have fun today !
