No matter how much you watch the weather and keep an eye on the charts, sometimes those 10 out of 10 days just sneak up on you. After a trip out west to Nikon HQ, I got back into Manly around 3pm ….

Been down to Queenscliff at low tide recently? You'd hardly recognise the place! There's a meandering brook flowing from Manly lagoon and a sand bank that extends almost to the end of Queenscliff Headland….

Well that was a pretty rare week in Manly! The Vissla Sydney Surf Pro got just about as good a week as the weather and wave gods could have served up. 9 days of good weather, waves varying between cooking
The waves were firing this morning! Well, firing in a 2-3 foot kind of a way at least.
Snuck away from the crazy, frantic energy of the contest bank at Manly this morning for far simpler pace of life at the tip of the peninsular. Two brothers, three surfboards and a left rip bowl playing host until the high-tide

It's the moment everybody in Sydney has been talking about. The King, The Champ, The G.O.A.T - call him what you will, but Kelly Slater draws a crowd in surfing circles and beyond!

All the fun continues today with high-tide runners and some of the best surfers on the planet putting on a clinic of fast, precise surfing. With 2ft of SE swell, offshore wind, and really nice shaped sand….

Good morning from the bay.
We were out hunting sunrises again this morning, this time from deeper in the bay at Belongil Beach. …
There's lots to do in Byron but top of the list for almost everyone at some stage during their visit is to catch sunrise at Cape Byron Lighthouse. As Australia's most easterly point, if you make up the hill in time

I'm on the northern side of the Queensland/NSW border where the sun still rises at 5:30am. Daylight Savings hasn't made it to these parts yet so you can surf, grab a coffee, salute the sun and read a book, all while you

Apologies for the lack of posts of late. I've heard there's been some fun waves back home at Manly (typical when I leave!). For me, the last two days have been spent mostly at the wheel of my '89 VW Transporter…

Good morning and a very happy Monday to you! If you like warm oceans and sunshine then you're in for a treat of a week, well at least the first half anyway. The Tasman is a bath right now

It might be farewell to summer on the calendar but I get the feeling it'll be a long and drawn out goodbye. The water feels like it's at an all-time warmth and there's a band of hot air moving up the continent which will see

This morning was a treat. Like one of those sweet treats from a fancy bakery that you think is going to be good but it's oh-so much better when you bite into it.
