Road Tripping...

So for the next two wks I'll be road tripping around the country with three of my good mates. First stop Sydney, then off to Lorne for the Falls Festival over NYE and then out to the south west of SA for some serious wave hunting. So I will try and make some posts along the way but I can't promise anything. Happy surfing.

Merry Xmas all you salty sea dogs.

New Log

Old mate Bretto with a recent addition to his quiver, handshaped by Sage Joske. I've had the pleasure of riding this log & it is duper super.

quality time...

I know I'll probably be out on my own when I say this but it's been really rad lately that the waves have been super clean and really logular. I say this because every morning and arvo I have been able to go shred with my lady. Here are a few pics from a sunset slide session yesterday.

Double overhead

This pic was taken a little while ago now from our good friends from InByronBayToday. Its of my beautiful girlfriend Little Em. The last few days have been super small in Coffs just like in the pic although Little Em would call it double overhead. So we have been getting our log on and just like in this pic Em has been milking them for every last bit of trim.

Just a taste.

Every morning at 5:45am my alarm goes off. I get up do my stretches, have a glass of water and a piece of fruit and start to gather my weapons of choice for the morning session which usually consists of my log, fish and my hand plane. Here on the mid north coast we have had this constant NE wind and swell which has been great for fishing and the odd body womp but my poor logs have been collecting quiet the film of dust. This morning was different the swell had back off a little and there was these fun little runners that were just itching to wash the dust off my logs and give me a little taste of trim that I have so been longing for. This pic is an STsurfimage. Check out more daily shots here.

Fishing.

So its been about a month now since I left the Bay but it feels like a year since I've had a good log session. The NE wind continues to bash the East coast and to be honest the conditions have been quite crap. Luckily the Coffs Coast has a lot of fun protected corners that allow us to get out of the wind. This pic is a Stimage of me on my Volta a couple of days ago.
