Hi Frothers !
Up until fairly late it was a monochromic morning: tough to see further than a few meters. Foggy as hell !
But if you paddled out blind in the fog, you probably discovered a few fun glassy waves. Tama had some really nice runners, and so did Bondi (a bit straight for Bondi though).
It’s grey now but the absence of wind makes it a nice day to go for a wave. This is the end of this amazing run of sunny warm days. Maybe the start of Autumn ?
Thanks to everyone who came to the talk organized at the Bondi Pavillon on Saturday. There was a lot of talent in the room, and it was great to see so many familiar faces.
We’ll talk more about it in the next weeks, but we’ll be having a Pop-Up Store right on the promenade from 4th-10th April ! We’ll have a great selection of artworks of all types and sizes, and a few surprises. More to be announced soon.
Have a great start of the week !

Hi Frothers !
It seems that the beach is wrapped up in a thick blanket of fog and it gives a very mystic vibe to the landscape. I love it !
This morning was again a very nice one. The water is getting really chilly now, but it’s so warm outside, it’s incredible. You gotta love that time of the year !
Surfwise (in Bondi): well, not really. If you want to you can. Good from far but far from good.
Have a great day !

Hi Frothers !
I had been hoping for one of those mornings for a while now. A sunrise with colours. It happened today. Not quite the Winter colour crazyness yet, but so pretty nonetheless. And the best thing is: it’s soooo warm.
Waves are a bit peaky, rippy and shifty, but there are certainly some fun ones out there. It’s just a real science to be able to pick the good ones. The Northern end of Bondi was smaller but a bit more consistent.
Another amazing day of this endless Summer…
Have a great day !

Hi Frothers !
22degrees at 6:15am: Autumn is a draggin’ its feet…Not complaining !
After a flat Monday, we’re getting waves again. A touch (way too) wobbly, but enough to still enjoy a surf in boardies, as the day promises to be perfect again.
The ocean is not just a place we enjoy, but it is also a source of protein for most of us. Sustainable sea-food is a real focus point nowadays. This year the MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) is encouraging everyone to roll-up their sleeves and host their own Sustainable Seafood Day feast with (delicious) MSC and ASC certified seafood.
They’d love to celebrate the day with you and here’s how;
- Mark it down in your calendar: cook sustainable sea food on Friday March 11, 2016 (but celebrations will go throughout March).
- Invite friends over to enjoy a sustainable seafood meal and go to www.msc.org/forthesea for your free hosting pack which includes recipes, coasters, eco-shopping bag and a short film.
- Spread the word through social media with #ForTheSea and tag @LoveOceanLoveFood on instagram, @MSCinAustralia on twitter and @MSCinAustralia on Facebook – They have lots of prizes for our favourite posts including a shark dive, family pass to the zoo and sustainable seafood packs.
Have a great day !

Hi Frothers !
This Monday morning was misty-fying. This dramatic Autumn light created such an amazing vibe. Bondi was wrapped in a thick blanket of sea mist.
I took the camera out for a swim. Well, the season shift is starting to operate on the ocean’s warmth. I think I’ll be pulling the wetsuit out of the drawer pretty soon if the water temperature keeps dropping that quickly. Don’t get me wrong: it’s still ok if you surf, but if your body is in the water all the time, you can feel a real difference vs. the last few days.
On another note, I would like to let you know that I will be be a guest speaker at the Beachin’ Talks at the Bondi Pavillon (Seagull Room) this coming Saturday 12th March. The event will be between 3 to 6pm. I will be talking alongside 4 other amazing beach/ocean photographers. After the talks, there will be drinks, DJs and we’ll be available for further discussions if you’re keen to know more about what we do, how we work, what we shoot with, or what are our upcoming projects. It will be great to see you…and who knows, you might be featuring on one of my slides…. More info here !
Have a great day !
